“It is not true that we are against civilization,
that our aims are to take our people back to ancient times.
Our fighting is for the return of our stolen land and freedom.
If you remember, the Europeans have occupied our best land and reduced us to slavery…
We are not savages or murderers as the British continue to claim.
We know what we are doing
and we know what is best for our people”
Field Marshal DEDAN KIMATHI
