520 _aThe  author recalls that we learned in school that we attained independence peacefully, without bloodshed. That Kenya was the model the rest of Africa was supposed to look to! A happy, multiracial nation where Whites, Asians, and Africans all lived in harmony. In Kenya’s war of independence, fewer than one hundred Whites and over twenty-five thousand Africans died. Half of the Africans who died were children under ten. Sixty thousand White settlers lived in Kenya at independence in 1963. The new Kenyan government was required to take loans of 12.5 million pounds from its ex-colonial master, the British government, to buy back stolen land from the settlers who wished to leave. A lovely history lesson for children in African schools.
