Yep. And the Muslim minority has never given up on their resentment that the Christian majority took their wealth by ending the slave trade after the Brits were forced to colonize Kenya when their ocean vessel patrols to stop slave trafficing failed.

ObaMao's Luo tribe was able to carry on the slave trade through Zanzibar for another couple of generations because their trade center lay astride British controlled Kenya and German East Africa. The Brit civil servants took pride in serving Queen (and later King) & Country. The German civil servants, not so much. Most German civil servants saw civil service as a way to line their pockets and were happy to wink, wink, nod, nod and ignore the illegal slave trade through Zanzibar in exchange for a piece of the action.

The slave trade was finally ended for good when the Brits took control of German East Africa through the 1919 Treaty of Versailles which ended World War I. The Luo Tribe fought them until the mid-1920s, but finally had to give up and slink back to herding cattle further inland.

The reemerged as the Mau-mau in the 1950s, but Churchill put a stop to that as well. Thus the hatred of all things English and Christian runs back more that 130 years in Muslim Kenya. The main dream of ObaMao's father was revenge. People need to understand why.
