We are now the Republic of Kenya or Jamhuri ya Kenya in Swahili. The West might not feel comfortable admitting they lost the Mau Mau war, more like the Americans admitting they lost in Vietnam.

Renaming Kenya to the Swahili Republic will also arrest the declining popularity of the Swahili language among Kenya’s upper and middle classes.
