February 1969 - The Warrior Oath - Mau Mau Fighters
February 1969 - The Warrior Oath - Mau Mau Fighters pray at the end of the oathing ceremony. As the movement became more militant, a second oath, the Mbatuni, or Warrior oath, was introduced. This was taken by those freedom fighters who joined the forest army. The taking of the Mbatuni oath was a frightening yet exhilarating experience. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
