[00:00:00]Most people know Kenya for safaris, lines, and beautiful landscapes. But hidden in [music] Kenya's past is a story of warriors, prophecy, and resistance that many people have never heard. More than 100 years ago, before British colonial rule controlled Kenya, a powerful leader named [music] Koalar App Samoay warned his people about something strange. He called it the iron snake. Soon the British began building a railway across [music] Kenyon land. The train stretched like a giant metal snake through villages, forests, and sacred land. Koalo believed the railway [music] would bring foreign control and suffering. And he was right. The Nandi warriors fought back. Using surprise attacks and deep knowledge of the land, they resisted one of the world's largest [music] empires. For nearly 11 years, British soldiers struggled to defeat them. The resistance became one [music] of the strongest anti-colonial movements in East African history. But in 1905, Quital [music] was invited to what was supposed to be a peace meeting. Instead, he was betrayed. He was shot and killed during the meeting. Even after his death, his story lived on. Today, many [music] Kenyans remember him as one of the first heroes to fight against colonial rule long before independence.
