Why is the British army being investigated for alleged abuses in Kenya?

Jul 15, 2024

An ongoing inquiry is taking place in Kenya in response to a series of allegations of rape and other misconduct by British soldiers during their time training in the country. The allegations date back to the 1950s and despite a previous investigation carried out by the British army, nobody has been prosecuted or held accountable for any crimes. A new defence pact that came into effect in 2021 means British soldiers can now be sued in Kenyan courts. The inquiry has heard emotional testimonies from several people about the alleged abuses. Presenter: Alan Kasujja. Guests: Michael Kaloki, Marian Pannalossy and Kelvin Kubai.
