In the late 19th century, a small Swahili sultanate on the Kenyan coast became a thorn in the side of German and British colonialism. The Witu Sultanate, established by refugees from the Omani overthrow on Zanzibar, allied with local Somali and Mijikenda communities to resist European encroachment. This episode explores the rise of Sultan Ahmed bin Fumo Bakari, the infamous 'German Witu' alliance, the brutal 1890 Witu massacre of German explorers, and the eventual British punitive expedition that crushed the sultanate in 1895. We delve into the strategic importance of the Tana River delta, the role of slave trade abolition as a pretext for invasion, and how Witu's legacy echoes in later Kenyan resistance movements. Featuring key sites like Lamu, Kipini, and the Witu forest, this is a forgotten chapter of East African anti-colonial struggle. #WituSultanate #AhmedBinFumoBakari #GermanEastAfrica #BritishEastAfrica #SwahiliCoast #TanaRiver #Lamu #Mijikenda #Somali #OmaniEmpire #Zanzibar #SlaveTrade #WituMassacre #PunitiveExpedition #1890 #1895 #AntiColonialResistance #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
