1) Nandi tribe of 40K people - fought the British for 15yrs without losing! Not a single war battle. Just imagine if Kalenjin had fought as united nation. It would have been Ethiopia. Mzungu only won through treachery by calling for a peace meeting to declare Nandi Independent before proceeding to massace Koitaelel and 200 people in cold blood.
2) Mzungu declared West pokot and beyond close district after failing to colonize it. Closed district is another word for independent.
3) MauMau lasted 4yrs - and you only killed I think 50 wazungus in cold blood - not in war - but ended up killing 10,000 of your own people as traitors. You had guns but still could only mount cowardly gorrilla warfare.
My friend you can never ever compared Kalenjin in matters military or althetic or bravery with your people.
Small boys of half-luhya Sabaot - SDLF - it took military intervention - that is like a clan of smallest of kalenjin tribe.
It just not possible.
Go to Laikipia now - and see how KDF/GSU/APs - are doing against cattle herders of Pokot.
Kalenjin history as military tribe dates faaaaaaaar back to the Kush and Meroe (siyo MERU) empire of Sudan. Sio history bonoko - Kalenjin, Somalis and Oromos then set out as free men to Kenya - about 2,000 yrs ago - many hundrends years before any other group would venture into kenya.
Just be happy because you live very far from Kalenjin - we would have made you sing very many songs
"natural military aptitude"🤣🤣🤣 . You very well know any army supported by bazungu can't last even against a local rag tag militia Without there help Thats why the most equipped Afghanistan defence force crumbled immediately bazungu started leaving and now taliban is king. Truth be told your mursik delusion about kalenjin military power emaniting from the 1800 century nandi resistance is simply panganga. We simply let you run like a headless chicken amusing us with your "worrier" stories that are epitome of drunken stupor and distorted history.
Again kalenjin and kamba were selected for being loyal,timid and lacking strong will power that mlima people excell in. You guys were cooks, luggage carrier and drivers in mkolonis army.
Thats how kdf is so awful coz you get pundit grand father was a cook for colonial soldiers then pundit himself is a captain in kdf and so on. But anyway atleast win 1 war without bazungus help not running from el adde and 15 al shabaab in manda and shitting in your pants.
