@kavaziofficial: In this rare 1962 interview, a white settler in colonial Kenya reflects on the land he grew to love, the empire he served, and the uncertainty of independence. He speaks of the vast open spaces, the colonial infrastructure “built from scratch,” and his deep reluctance to remain in a country where, in his words, “the roles would reverse.” As Kenya stood on the brink of freedom, the settler’s words reveal the mindset of a departing empire and the emotional unraveling of a man who could not imagine staying if he was no longer master. #kenyanhistory #kenyantiktok🇰🇪

They introduced kipande system,hut tax, threw us to reserves, grabbed land. We paid for their lives, we were forced to work for no pay. The. he speaks they built, what did you build, all you did was steal and grab land.

"I can't live under indigenous government... I'm not willing to move from the position of master to that of servant..."

They loved kenya because they could stay cozy and lazily enjoy taxes while forcing our ancestors to work.

This is shocking me. Whites always think that God gave them powers to rule blacks. Whites supremist Europeans are suffering from certain illness, at the end of the day they have same blood as us blacks and human features. They ran away from European wars to come and settle here in Africa in order to have a better life, the only thing they should have done was to respect us and understand our cultures. They never civilised Africa, they destroyed it and they are trying to come back to loot. Look at France can't survive without Africa, they Africa in order to revive their economy.

So that's what they're afraid they think we're like them, they think we want to be they're masters when all we want is to be treated like humans, to be given our lands back, to govern ourselves without western influence. We just want equality and equity why can't they understand that.

Kenya was colonized by the British. What would a French settler be doing in Kenya?
