Solution

A state of emergency was declared in Kenya on 2 October 1952 due to the Mau Mau rebellion by Kikuyu tribesmen protesting land loss. Their attacks on European farms led to mass arrests, including Jomo Kenyatta, and a harsh British crackdown. Around 10,000 Africans were killed over eight years.
