Olenguruone squatter resistance (1941–50)
On the Haiti and Kenya independence map as “Olenguruone”
1941–50 — Kikuyu squatters resettled here refuse the government’s farming rules. Around 1943 they extend the oath of unity to women and children, and when they are evicted in 1948–50 they carry the reshaped oath with them, the seed of mass oathing.
