King Charles Refuses Apology for Colonial Violence in Kenya

King Charles III of Britain, during his visit to Kenya, acknowledged the "abhorrent and unjustifiable acts of violence committed against Kenyans" during their struggle for independence but did not offer a full apology. While expressing sorrow and regret, he avoided discussions on reparations. Kenya, marking its 60th anniversary of independence, has a relatively warm relationship with the UK, but there have been calls for Charles to address the violent suppression carried out by British authorities during the Mau Mau revolt. The visit has reignited debates on colonial atrocities and the return of cultural artifacts.
