📅 20 Oktober 1952 📍 Kenia

Governor Evelyn Baring declared a state of emergency in Kenya during the struggle against colonial rule associated with Mau Mau. Emergency powers enabled intensified repression. The confrontation concerned authority, land and freedom within a settler colonial order. The declaration records a state response to resistance, rather than a victory for the people whose organizing it targeted.
