Vor 60 Jahren – Februar 1957: Dedan Kimathi in Kenia gehenkt

Kenianer erheben sich gegen die Briten 

In Kenia, seit 1890 von den Briten besetzt und seit 1920 Kronkolonie, hatten sich weiße Siedler das Land angeeignet. Die Einheimischen mussten nun als »Squatter« für ihr Bleiberecht auf den Farmen der Weißen arbeiten. Die gesamte Wirtschaft des ostafrikanischen Landes war in weißer Hand. Ab 1950 wehrten sich die Kenianer mit zunehmender Militanz im sogenannten Mau-Mau-Aufstand. 1952 verhängten die Briten den Ausnahmezustand. 90000 Mau-MauKämpfer, vor allem aus dem Volk der Kikuyu, wurden in Lagern interniert. Bis zur Niederschlagung des Aufstands 1956 verloren nach heutigen Erkenntnissen 100.000-150.000 Afrikaner ihr Leben. 
Verhaftete Kikuyu in Kenia: sie stehen im Verdacht, als Mau-Mau-Kämpfer
einen weißen Farmer massakriert zu haben
Während der spätere Freiheitsführer und 1963 erste Präsident des unabhängigen Kenia, Jomo Kenyatta (1893-1978), einen eher moderaten Kurs einschlug, führte Dedan Kimathi (1920-1957) als »Feldmarschall« den militanten Zweig mit gewalttätigen Aktionen. Er gehörte zu den letzten Mau-Mau-Kämpfern. Ende 1956 wurde Kimathi verhaftet, wegen »Terrorismus« zum Tode verurteilt und am 18. Februar 1957 gehenkt. Heute gilt er in Kenia als Volksheld. 50 Jahre nach seinem Tod erhielt er in Nairobi ein Denkmal.
