For some they are the biggest and most dangerous gang in the world, while for others they are the protectors of the farmers.The gang we are going to talk about today.. the Mungiki.
The “mungiki" is a popular ethnic gang that has developed a fearful name in the last couple of decades. In the Gikuyu language spoken in Kenya, the word "mungiki" means “multitude”.The mob is characterized by extreme brutality and horror.
The group is believed to consist more than 500,000 members,many of which date back from the late 1980’s when the gang begun its practices as a local militia in the highlands to protect Kikuyu farmers in disputes over land with Maasai and with forces loyal to the government.
The reason why the gang grew so much was due to the fact of significant youth unemployment, which taken into consideration by the organization to attract people and give them a sense of purpose and political identity, as well as income.
Others, justified the formulation of the group as a result of the landlessness arising from Kenya's rapid population growth.
The Kenyan people are extremely afraid of them as they are know for beheading anyone who stands in their way.
They operate mainly in Nairobi’s regions, such as Mathare,where they are in search of other ethnic groups. In many cases the militant gang is incorporated in political affiliations.
Despite their enormous size, there isn’t a lot of intel about the Mungiki —as they have a very secretive nature.
Their barbaric acts can also be found in other cruel operations such as the female genital mutilation.
According to experts,the members need to swear an oath of secrecy. Unfortunately, after the ritual ends there is no turning back. The only way to escape the group is by dying. Betrayal is not accepted and is punished by death.
