A proposito di questo titolo

 In 1982, Kenya came within hours of a military coup that would have toppled Daniel arap Moi's government. This episode tells the story of that failed putsch — led by a junior air force private, Hezekiah Ochuka, and fueled by student protests at the University of Nairobi — and the brutal crackdown that followed. We explore Moi's use of the paramilitary General Service Unit (GSU), the creation of Nyayo House's torture chambers, and the silencing of dissidents like Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Wangari Maathai. The episode also examines how the coup attempt reshaped Kenyan politics, accelerating the slide into a single-party dictatorship and setting the stage for the democracy movements of the 1990s. Through the stories of ordinary Kenyans caught in the crossfire, we trace how a botched mutiny became the defining moment of Moi's reign.
