King Charles III seeks to visit Kenya amidst historical challenges

LONDON: King Charles III wants to look to the future when his state visit to Kenya starts on Tuesday. But first he will have to confront the past.

As Charles prepares for the four-day trip to Kenya, he is facing calls to address the legacy of eight decades of British colonial rule, as well as complaints that foreigners still own large swaths of rich farmland, and that the UK has failed to accept responsibility for the crimes of British soldiers stationed in Kenya.
