Britain’s King Charles III began a four-day visit to Kenya on Tuesday. Communities in western Kenya are using it as an opportunity to press their case for compensation for injustices they suffered when the country was under British rule.

The colonial administration took hundreds of square kilometres of land that communities in western Kenya had lived on for generations and handed it to British settlers.
