Kenya - Rough Draft
Have you ever wondered how Kenya came to be? Well, before Kenya was even its original name it was called “Kamba land” and was only renamed because of a German wanderer asking what a mountain was called.

The perpetrators using terrorist tactics are Kikuyu, and their ritual oaths of loyalty to their secret organization reflect the customs of Jomo Kenyatta's political group, the Kikuyu Central Association. But the meaning of their name for themselves, Mau Mau, is at the time and remains today a mystery
