Hear King Charles address dark colonial period during trip to Kenya

- Britain's King Charles III and Queen Camilla are visiting Kenya to mark 60 years of independence from British colonial rule. Some Kenyans are still seeking reparations over claims of torture and human rights abuses committed by the British Empire. CNN's Max Foster reports.

The terminology, ‘dark colonial period,” should not be used in reference to Africa. His queen does not want to stay in any of the royal residence is because she thinks they are haunted.
That story about Camilla is utter rubbish. She stays in Windsor Castle, Balmoral and Sandringham. The reason why she and Charles aren't living in Buckingham Palace right now has nothing to do with ghosts. The building is undergoing a £500m long overdue renovation - to replace dangerous 1950s wiring, remove the asbestos used in its rebuilding in the 1950s, add in new fire security into the building (it had been highly dangerous if a fire ever broke out). The entire building is in the middle of a massive renovation that is not expected to end until 2026 or 2027. When the building work is finished, the fireproofing done, and all the asbestos removed, the King and Queen will be moving in, and have made that clear. The White House and numerous other official residence have undergone the same work as they all used asbestos when it was thought of as a wonder insulator and its cancer link wasn't known. As up to half a million visit the building annually, and thousands work there, it had to fixed. The last major renovation occurred seventy years ago.
The UK committed atrocities in Kenya as recently as the 1950s in suppressing the Mau Mau uprising. The problem with King Charles III's words are that they are and will always be an inadequate response to righting an historic wrong.
Can't possibly right these wrongs!
Fuck history learn and focus on tomorrow.
We can't live in the past. Let's focus on a better future. And this probably is the first step.
You failed to take into account the great African empires that were involved in the eastern slave trade with Muslim in Arab countries. You also failed to take into account these African empires to include the Kingdom of Congo, State of Dahomey, and the Ashanti who allowed the Europeans to establish ports and then realized that selling captives to these Europeans, was hugely profitable and began the Atlantic slave trade.
@@t.r.campbell6585 The British are not responsible for the slavery you mention. They are responsible for atrocities committed during the Mau Mau uprising.
Apologies not necessary, restructure imf and making trade fair is what Kenya should be asking for

No. The French are still quite busy at retaining it, and they tried to expand it (Libya 2011 🇱🇾, but there, they failed miserably).

No.😢

I wonder how this subject is taught in British schools because I've seen a lot of British (even young ones) being kind of proud of their colonial era ("The Brits ruled half the world!").
The brits are very proud of their genocidal past. According to them, they have done nothing wrong. On the contrary, they brag themselves up every chance they get...and they love to point 👉 at others...assuming some kind of moral high ground...
The fact that they're tiny and insignificant, bothers them very much, and they're constantly, desperately trying to seem relevant, especially militarily, 'throwing their weight around'...weight that they do not have.

Reparations are a gesture which demonstrates awareness and regret that African were enslaved, trafficked, robbed of their home, families, culture, and wealth in order to make their colonizers wealthy. It is never too late to pay for this crime. Never. Imagine someone robbing you and your family of everything you worked hard to build, then profiting from it as you watch them, walking around, smug with pride, unapologetic and without remorse, as they carry around all of your belongings as if they were the rightful owners.
Your people enslaved yourself, trafficked yourself, and such. Look at Asian, they refuse to do that to their own, so they can’t be slaves, or I blame they are way smarter to be slaved… don’t ask others to pay for something that they don’t do in term of generation-wise. Even in this context, the King didn’t cause anything to your people. Let the past take a snap, so you will all have SNAP too.
Africans enslaved the Africans ......your logic African governments owe the most.
Till these days black community still most criminal
I can’t speak for the masses, no deal, never
That sounds oddly like you're advocating for a Stick Up.
Welcome to kenya from nyeri.my kikuyu grandmother who is 90 year old and was part of maumau says the current administration is more unjust than even colonizers
Not true, not even close.
I send you to tell your grandmother she is either joking, out of her mind or she does not know what she is talking about!
You and that grandmother of yours are wazimus. Hauna adabu umbwakoko
Your grandmother says that because she was never a maumau fighter as she voices or maybe she has lost her mind...
She is right the truth always hurts!😢
The British colonialists forced Kenyan men to go and fight against the Germans in WW2 while committing the same atrocities to Kenyans that Germans meted out to the Jews.
Shame Shameon you Charlie and Britan!!👎
People sure do love free money. Need to jump on this victim bandwagon, it's super profitable these days.
Who is jumping on the victim bandwagon?
Apologies are a great step to honor the people who died ❤. Although the great sin of the Brits was leaving corrupt institutions behind and left a legacy of greed. A great disservice for the country and unimaginable losses. Over half of Kenyas population lives in abject poverty because of the nature of our institutions.. (consider the fact that we are one of the most populous country in Africa)
Over half of your family live in poverty not Kenyans sillly

I wonder what the native tribal people of North America once controlled by the British Empire would have to say to the Kenyans, maybe something like , "take a number and get in line". The number is too difficult to calculate but from it is believed to be in the 100's of millions of Native Americans killed by Britain alone, not to mention the creation of the slave trade from to North American colonies from Western Africa, which was then handed to the US and continued for almost another 100 years. The British Colonial system did tremendous damage long before the creation of the United States.
The brutality of the British and European Colonial Empires extends for centuries and is global. They controlled nearly 60% of the world by 1920.
Handouts will never alleviate only debilitate, prioritization as Economic partners in trade and investment into their economy is what Kenya should seek. Otherwise get in line, a very long line.
If you want to see the most recent iteration of European and Western colonialism look no further than Palestine.
It's what the world powers did back then! You can't judge them by today's standards!
They continue to benefit from these atrocities.

Sir , can you deal with this shopkeeper for me he is still here . ✌🏽🇯🇲🙏
England outlawed slavery throughout the British empire in 1834 thanks to the abolitionist movements. This lead other European monarch governments to follow suit. Many rulers in Africa and Arab-controlled lands opposed this because it hurt their wealth, the English had to enforce abolition through rule of law and force.
💯. We all need freedom to live a purposeful life not slavery.
The highland Kenyans have nothing to do with slavery. Stop reaching

All I see here is high class type of hypocricy, I see that king's hand dripping with the blood of our freedom fighters. Something is not ok. The timing leaves more questions than answers. May our Almighty Creator protect Kenya
I’m African American, and I must say We scream for an apology and reparations all day, but we must realize that our own people help put us in slavery as well
The African people were not a united group then, and we still aren't united now. Those divisions were what European imperial nations (who were not united either but recognized there was an economic advantage to collaborating to enslave, colonize and dehumanize black people and steal the resources from their lands) exploited. Your "own people" were not really your people. They had the same skin color as you but didn't identify with you. Many tribes and ethnic groups were waring enemies. Just picture the crips and the bloods waring with each other in the hood oblivious to who the real enemy is. So don't continue to dwell on the propaganda of "black sold black" like they try to sell us "black on black" crime like it's justification for police violence and other struggles of black Americans. Recognize who continues to benefit as long as black people continue to fight each other instead of fighting beside one another.
@@blackoclips So instead of learning the overall message that being in a tribal mind set leads you to dehumanise the “other”, you decide to forgive fellow blacks, so you can put all the blame on whitey??
The notion that all Africans owe African Americans an apology is pure nonsense.

This is a big step at least, I'm actually surprised he went as far as he did. Charles is a good king and has a good heart. The British Empire was one of the most devastating empires in world history but it seems to be making good progress, more than the French and Belgian Empires, literally some of the most racist in history and which act colonial to this day.
Don't forget about Nato colonialism, which is now the biggest colonial oppressor of the modern era.

However nobody seems confused about the reparations paid to the Jewish community during WWII
Kenya and other African nations have adopted what political analysts refer to as “strategic ambiguity” to please the two protagonists Ukraine and Russia and ensure the country benefits from both sides. Aka, it supports the bloodbath in Ukraine by getting cheap grain deals. Colonisation appeasement suits Kenya if they are benefiting from it today.
and Europe including EU countries aren't funding the Ukraine war by buying oil from Russia????
Why should we align ourselves with either side? We have nothing to do with the war. We obviously would wish for the suffering and pointless blood bath to stop but it would be foolish to pick one side over the other as we trade with both countries.
we grow our grains lol.. these fallacy that ukraine feeds the world need to stop

Wish the world learn from history that colonialism is and will be always condemned and that resistance mouvement will always get back their freedom despite their suffering and lifes lost!!! FREE PALESTIAN🇵🇸
Agreed. Although that non-existent entity at the end of your statement, is strange.

Talk is cheap due to the result of colonial rule in colonialism in general nations and people of Africa, still suffer, still fight with each other, because of artificial lines drawn by others centuries ago. So if you really want to apologize, don’t bring words bring some money. Bring some money to help the people of the nations your ancestors caused harm to. You don’t even have to just drop cash and make it rain. Why not start some programs in these countries where you truly spend a significant portion of your wealth to try and write the wrongs of the past. I know what bring $10 billion with you next time, I’m sure the people of these nations will be much happier with a $10 billion program set up to help entrepreneurs in these countries or a $10 billion program to help build schools for children or to build universities for adults. Spend the money to construct infrastructure for water, treatment, energy distribution you name it just spend some money on these people. I don’t wanna hear your words that doesn’t do anything for them. It doesn’t lift her spirits really.

The British Empire was responsible for a multitude of human rights abuses. It's estimated that nearly 100 million people died prematurely at the height of British colonialism. This is among the largest policy-induced mortality crises in human history.
Blah, blah.
Show me any country that didn't commit abuse when expanding their empire!
Sick and tired of this.
Really.
@@rdred8693 I never said that other empires did not commit atrocities. The U.S. Empire, for example, has been committing serious breaches of international law for the last 50 years, sometimes amounting to war crimes. But just because every nation commits crimes, that doesn't diminish the guilt of the British Empire for its crimes..

Recognising the sins of our forefathers is important, perhaps Americans could learn from his example?
We like to criticize the Europeans, who came to this land, but we turn a blind eye to the horrors that existed prior to recorded history. We failed to take into account the warfare that occurred between tribes, the selling of captives as slaves and the sexual assault of females from the losing tribe during warfare.
Those who we called American Indians cultivated and raised a plant crop which they used themselves and traded between tribes. They introduced this plant to the new world explorers who returned it to Europe. This crop is tobacco which causes death and sickness up to today.
The STD known as syphilis was unknown in Europe but was widespread on this continent (evidence of bone disease) within American Indian tribes. New World sailors had sex with tribal members, caught this STD and returned infecting Europe with syphilis.
Death and disease is the legacy of the American Indian. Death and disease caused by people around the world using this tobacco product that was cultivated by American Indians. Diseased caused by the American Indians and the syphillis obtained from American Indians and spread by European explorers when they return back home.
BREAKING: New research has found ancient footprints at White Sands dating back to 21,000 to 23,000 years ago which would be long before those people that we call American Indians came to this continent from Mongolia.

But no one that didn't take part for what their ancestors done that is evil.. just Help to make better. Not just apology but sincere dignity & actions contribute and Help with schools education healthcare hospitals restaurants dedicated for what happened, Do on to others as u want to be done onto . And stop being prejudice over a stupid reason. Please we all have similarities as humans besides our color differences. So what. And remember yall wealth is because of suffering all money isn't worth it. To some but its time to heal what it would if the shoe was on the other foot! Forgiveness is to the shameful and painful actions of others, that's not agreeable to another

Very positive that both King Charles and King Willem-Alexander apologised for the violence, slavery and trafficking of human beings. Let us hope they set a new Royal standard of honour for the world.
Prince Albert also apologised for it in the 1800s.
Amen 🙏 💯.
From his speech King Charles III truly apologize for wrong things done to the kenyas in the past.
And if you will permit me to quote from the holy book they brought to us in Africa (the Bible) 'Man afflicted his fellow human being with /to his own injury'. But because of the friendly relationship between Great Britain and the common wealth that is now like a family bounded together in one love, I should equally quote from the Bible that says 'faithful are the wounds of a friend'.
So I think we should forgive each other for the wrong doings of the past.
Let us not forget that during the American war of Independence many Americans who were of British Origin were killed. And now both Nations are one of the strongest allies in the world (like one family).
