Lari massacre


The Lari massacre was an incident during the Mau Mau Uprising in which the Mau Mau massacred troops from the loyalist Home Guard and their families, including prominent local loyalist Luka.
The British colonial government used the attack as propaganda and showed the massacre to journalists. The massacre prompted retaliatory attacks. In revenge, British and African soldiers killed at least 400 Mau Mau.
