War of Independence/Mau Mau Uprising

[edit]
Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article states the Kenyan Army fought in this conflict and, by the name used, would also suggest it fought against the British during the conflict. However, the Kenyan Army is a successor to the Kenyan Rifles of the British colonial forces. Therefore, I believe this ought to be corrected in the article by use of the phrasing Mau Mau Uprising, suggestive of what side the Rifles fought on in the conflict, or removal entirely.
