Two end dates?

The first sentence puts it at 1964, but in the infobox, its 1964.--Adûnâi (talk) 17:40, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to 1960 but it would be good to get something more definitive on the end date. 2620:0:690:7822:D572:5C84:22C2:4E55 (talk) 00:21, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Concentration camps

Is it true the British used concentration camps in Kenya? (31.50.130.247 (talk) 15:36, 5 March 2018 (UTC))[reply]

NPOV?

The parentheticals in the following section seems to be of questionably-neutral view, to me:

"By the mid-1960s, the view of Mau Mau as simply irrational activists was being challenged by memoirs of former members and leaders that portrayed Mau Mau as an essential, if radical, component of African nationalism in Kenya (of course this is denying the atrocities they committed against fellow tribesmen just to settle a score including the killing of school children), and by academic studies that analysed the movement as a modern and nationalist response to the unfairness and oppression of colonial domination (though such studies deliberately downplayed the specifically Kikuyu nature of the movement)."
