Asanta sana braza… mimi hiyo twirra ilinilemea

The attempted coup hardened President Moi and he steered Kenya through some turbulent times in Africa when country after country were being fell by coups. What he didn’t have in sophistication he made up in effort. President Moi was a hard worker and that helped keep us together.

@HistoryKe has the best Twitter account.

Wah. Gripping.
But I’ve always wondered what could have been if this was not a mainly dim eye effort. What if the shineys were more involved? Would this story be the same?
