Britain’s King Charles III prepares to lay a wreath at the memorial during a visit to a Commonwealth War Graves Kariokor Cemetery in Nairobi on November 1, 2023.
There have been widespread calls for Charles to formally apologise to a country Britain violently ruled for decades before its hard-fought independence in 1963. Charles has previously made three official visits to Kenya, but this is his first tour of an African and Commonwealth nation since becoming king last year upon the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
The so-called “Emergency” period was one of the bloodiest insurgencies of the British empire and at least 10,000 people — mainly from the Kikuyu tribe — were killed, although some put the true figures much higher.
