Answer 2

The Mau Mau Uprising was an insurgency by Kenyan rebels against the British colonial administration that lasted from 1952 to 1960. The core of the resistance was formed by members of the Kikuyu tribe, along with smaller numbers of Embu and Meru. The uprising did not succeed militarily, but did create a rift between the white settler community in Kenya and the Home Office in London that set the stage for Kenyan independence in 1963. It is sometimes called the Mau Mau Rebellion or the Mau Mau Revolt, or, in official documents, the Kenya Emergency.

The name Mau Mau for the rebel movement was not coined by the movement itself- they called themselves Muingi ("The Movement"), Muigwithania ("The Understanding"), Muma wa Uiguano ("The Oath of Unity") or simply "The KCA", after the Kikuyu Central Association that created the impetus for the insurgency. Veterans of the independance movement referred to themselves as the "Land and Freedom Army" in English.

Answer 3

Kenya in the 1950s. The Kikuyu were the main participants and the Brtish cracked down on the rebellion by imprisoning Jomo Kenyatta and other prominent Kikuyu and by basically rounding up every Kikuyu man woman and child and herded them into concentration camps where they were forced to work and those who were suspected of taking the Mau Mau oath were horrifically tortured. It was pretty nasty stuff and who knows how many people died in those camps. Pretty hypocritical of the British considering they had just defeated the Nazis less than 10 years ago and they were basically doing similar things to the Kikuyu that Hitler was doing to the Jews.

CLITORISES
Sorry about that one, but the Mau Mau were really a civil war in the Kikuyu tribe who felt threatened by developments including oposition to clitoridectomy. The Mau mau civil war actually retarded the end of colonialism.
