Gradually, there is a growing recognition of the historical significance of Saba Saba Day. On this day in 1990, thousands of Kenyans demonstrated in the streets demanding an end to the vicious and rapacious Kanu ethno-fascist state, first under Mzee Jomo Kenyatta and then under Daniel arap Moi.
Hundreds of unarmed demonstrators were shot dead by police, dozens arrested and tortured and others “disappeared.” We may never know the exact number of people who were killed, tortured or disappeared on that day.
