Waruhiu Itote
Waruhiu Itote (1922 – 30 April 1993) also known as General China, was one of the key leaders of the Mau Mau rebellion alongside Dedan Kimathi, Stanley Mathenge and Musa Mwariama.
==Early life==
He was born into a prosperous farming family in Kaheti village, Mukurwe-ini division, Nyeri District in 1922. He received minimal education at a local Church of Scotland mission, before moving to Nairobi as a teenager. Itote enlisted in the British army in 1942, serving in the King's African Rifles throughout Asia, firstly at Ceylon and then in the
Burma Campaign. Whilst in Burma he was promoted to the rank of Corporal.
Returning to Kenya, he became disillusioned with the lack of opportunities and became involved in urban politics and joined the Kenya African Union in 1946.〔 In the company of fellow ex-army comrades he dabbled in the criminal underworld as part of Nairobi's Forty Group, to supplement his wages as a fireman.〔
