BEHEADED BY THE BRITISH

King Charles is in Kenya, but won’t apologise for the many crimes committed there in his family’s name.

In the Rift Valley, as the British were constructing a railway to Uganda, they met stiff resistance from the Nandi community, led by Orkoiyot (chief) Koitalel Arap Samoei. They sprang a trap for him - inviting him to negotiations, only to kill and behead him when he came. His head was sent to London as a trophy.

His people have not forgotten, nor forgiven. As calls for a reckoning from other quarters of the independence struggle overshadow King Charles’ visit, Koitalel’s descendants too are calling for compensation and the return of his skull.

Britain is not willing to go that far, not even an apology. For now, the king says he feels regret - but claims there’s nothing he can do to change the past.

Do you think there’s nothing he can do?
