This is the title of a famous book that was written by Jomo Kenyatta during Kenya’s struggle for independence. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta also became the first President of post-colonial Kenya.

My essay using the same title is published today. Please see the section marked ‘Pages’- in the right-hand side column of this page.

I am writing about lessons that were learned in Uganda and, indeed Central Africa, when thousands of Asians had to leave when Idi Amin expelled the community from Uganda.
