Why has the Queen’s death ignited debate?
We study the papers and social media in Kenya and the surrounding region – and ask: why does colonial history still matter?
After the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96, African leaders lined up to pay tribute. After all, her passion for the continent, and dedication to the Commonwealth were both clear to see.
But because of her role as a figurehead of a former colonial power, many Africans have found the tributes difficult. For them, processing her death is far more complicated.

Alan Kasujja discusses the subject with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Monitoring’s Beverly Ochieng and Professor of history, Macharia Munene.
