The Mau Mau Freedom Fighters waged a guerrilla war for eight years (1952-1960) against
their British colonial rulers, which became known as the Mau Mau Uprising. The Mau Mau
sought to win back their land and independence. This underground militia was an extremely
powerful force employing tactics, which included the assassination of British settlers
and the Africans who collaborated with the British, as well as raiding colonial prisons
for weapons and staging daring ambushes in the Kenyan forests and mountains. The conflict
saw these untrained warriors, deemed by many to be terrorists employ an innovative mix of
traditional African warfare tactics, counterinsurgency methods and European firepower.
