I DID NOT say that the Times of London called Kenya a republic. Please do not misquote me while claiming to correct me.

"I DID NOT say that the Times of London called Kenya a republic. "

Here is your exact quote.

"A newspaper article from the Times of London, Oct. 9, 1963, using the term Republic of Kenya.

The article did not use the term Republic of Kenya.
Your misrepresented what the article said.

You create the false impression that the leading newspapers of the day were habitually calling kenya the "Republic of kenya". Instead of characterizing the article accurately, you chose to mislead.

You could have accurately said the paper was quoting opposition leaders as saying they wanted to form a republic. (Which they didn't, they passed a constitution that kept the Queen of England as the head of state, and they didn't create a president).
