I haven't watched the video yet, but It's on the east coast of Africa, near the equator, the capital is Nairobi. It's in the same region where humans evolved. I used to be a British colony. There was a rebellion against the British in the 1950s, which was suppressed with extreme brutality. Obama's father came from there, and Richard Dawkins spend a large part of his childhood there. The flag has a shield on it. It has a disproportionate number of world class long distance runners.. It used to be pronounced "Keenya". That's most of what I know about Kenya.

One thing that stands out, is it was obviously never a French colony nor invaded by the US. So I would have to surmise that after being part of the British Empire, they chose close ties with the USSR like India.

[@blazednlovinit]

Rabi Ben Lavi They stayed in the British Empire as it evolved into the British commonwealth and then into the commonwealth of nations, to this day they remain in the commonwealth with close ties to Britain and all the other commonwealth brothers (i think Obama's father served in the British army iirc)

[@RabiBenLavi]

blazednlovinit They had ties with the USSR and didn't pick sides in the cold war.
