Nandi Resistance
The Nandi Resistance was a military conflict that took place in present-day Kenya between 1890 and 1906. It involved members of the Kalenjin ethnic group, mainly from the Nandi section, and elements of the British Army. The close of the 19th century, a time referrefed to as the "'pacification' period" by Matson, saw a number of local populations that resisted the occupation of their lands by the British. Of these, the Nandi resistance would stand out for being the longest and most tenacious.〔Nandi Resistance to British Rule 1890–1906. By A. T. Matson. Nairobi: East African Publishing House, 1972. Pp. vii+391〕
The Nandi resistance was led by Koitalel Arap Samoei, the Orkoiyot of the Nandi at the time. On October 19, 1905, on the grounds of what is now Nandi Bears Club, Arap Samoei was asked to meet Col Richard Meinertzhagen for a truce. Instead, Meinertzhagen killed Koitalel and his entourage in cold blood.〔EastAfrican, December 5, 2008: (Murder that shaped the future of Kenya )〕
==Background==
In the later decades of the 19th century, at the time when the early European explorers started advancing into the interior of Kenya, Nandi territory was a closed country. Thompson in 1883 was warned to avoid the country of the Nandi, who were known for attackes on strangers and caravans that would attempt to scale the great massif of the Mau.〔Pavitt, N. ''Kenya: The First Explorers'',Aurum Press, 1989, p. 121〕
