In Part One, we uncovered the foundations of a rebellion—the Mau Mau oath, the theft of ancestral land, and the British Empire’s ruthless response. But what came next was even more chilling.

This is the part they tried to erase.

Thousands of files—detailing torture, rape, and castration—vanished. Some were locked away. Others were burned. Many were dumped into the sea as colonial officials scrambled to hide the truth.

This wasn’t chaos. It was a cover-up. Cold. Calculated. And deliberate.

For decades, the survivors were gaslit. The atrocities denied. The Empire clung to its lies.

But truth has a way of surfacing.

Eventually, the British government was forced to admit it: the violence was systemic. The orders came from the top. And the damage ran deep.

They paid reparations. They issued an apology. And in Nairobi’s Uhuru Park, a statue now stands—not in triumph, but in memory. A monument to pain, and to those who refused to be forgotten.

 The silence is over. The reckoning begins.
