Dont be mad at the KAF airmen. They were young, naive, delusional, idealistic and were misled by higher people. And many were actually drunk on that day. Somebody cheated them eti the Army was going to join the coup.

Instead be mad at the president of the time and the government which knew of the impending coup and opted not to stop it.

Be mad at the govt for using it as a pretext to jail dissidents without evidence, kill supposed coup plotters, send others like Micere Mugo into exile, close UoN for nearly 2 years and basically destroy families.

And most of the gunfire came from the army not the coup plotters. In fact most of the people who died that day were killed by the army that was supposedly stopping the fake coup.

I call it fake coup because commandeering a radio station and making an announcement is not a coup.

You should read up for example how Naija people dey execute coups.

Was a few months old. Crying to be fed, soiling my diapers, unaware about the kou.
