Ole nguruone.

At Ole nguruone and area in the Rift Valley province in Kenya near the agricultural town of molo in Nakuru County. This is one place with rich history of colonial resistance in kenya. People forcefully dispossed of their land, precious fertile land in the highlands of Limuru/Tigoni near Nairobi County were dumped here.But probably after the second world war in order to the british to reward their service men who had taken part, the colonialsts(british) thought this was still  prime land and they decided to remove them and take them to yatta a dry area that is uncultivatable and life proved harsh for the former residents of Kiambu county who had grown in green leafy cultivatable land. They refused and those terrorists al shabaab is better opened fire on innocent kenyans including children, raped women and sodomised men, stole their cattle and destroyed their crops. Later kenyatta the firts president of the country negotiated with british colonialist they kept the land and kenyans became squatters. These historical injustices continue to haunt independent kenya todate. With perennial conflicts every five years during the general ielection this clashes occur in the above mentioned molo region where tribal embers are furned by politician for political and selfish gains.
