On December 12, 2019, researchers shed light on the origins of the famous Mau Mau oath, which was allegedly taken by the Mau Mau fighters in the 1950s.
Olenguruone, a small town in Kenya, is believed to be the birthplace of the oath, which was said to have been taken by the fighters before embarking on their rebellion against the British colonial authorities.
According to historical accounts, the oath was a powerful symbol of the Mau Mau's resistance against colonial rule and was seen as a way to unite the fighters and give them the strength to fight for their freedom.
