Queen Elizabeth II's lasting impression on Kenya

  • When Queen Elizabeth first visited Kenya in 1952, she arrived as a Princess and left only days later to ascend to the throne. Back then, Kenya was still part of the British Empire.
    Now, it's one of more than 50 members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Some Kenyans feel the Commonwealth itself is coming to the end of an era.

    There is nothing to mourn about the death of Queen Elizabeth. To us Kenyans, & most Africans & Indians she was a symbol of oppression. It was during her reign in the colonial era that our forefathers were brutalized, killed, raped maimed & all sorts of evil acts subjected to them in concentration camp. They were disposesed of their ancestral land & made to live like squatters. Worse off, after end of colonialism the Queen never took time to acknowledge and apologize to the Kenyan people. Today there are stills Kenyans fighting for justice in the international courts including their UK for atrocities committed to them. In fact, if there is justice after death, may Queen Elizabeth face the consequences of her actions. RIP Queen = Bullshit !

      Why are you blaming her when it was her ancestors who actually did those horrible stuff. She didn't Expand the British Empire, she oversaw the end of the empire and the creation of the Commonwealth of Nations. She respected every race and culture and has served her entire life to her people. Plus why apologize when she didn't do those stuff.

    You can shed tears that she is gone
    Or you can smile because she has lived
    You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
    Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
    Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
    Or you can be full of the love that you shared
    You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
    Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
    You can remember her and only that she is gone
    Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
    You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
    Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

But she was not only our queen, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her sons and her grandchildren.
