Dedan Kimathi: The Mau Mau Field Marshal Executed for Kenya’s Freedom

Dedan Kimathi was one of the most feared and respected leaders of the Mau Mau rebellion during Kenya’s struggle for independence. Known as the “Field Marshal,” Kimathi led guerrilla fighters in the forests of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, defying British colonial rule at great personal cost.
In this video, we explore the true story of Dedan Kimathi — his rise as a freedom fighter, the Mau Mau oaths, betrayals within the movement, his dramatic capture in 1956, and his execution at Kamiti Prison in 1957. We also uncover what happened to his body after death and why his burial place remains unknown to this day.
This is not just history — it is a true crime rooted in colonial injustice, resistance, and the fight for dignity.
