Taita-Taveta, Kenya: As Kenyans mark one hundred years since start of World War 1 (WW1), Taita-Taveta County residents have received the centenary commemoration with a mixture of excitement and sadness.
Excitement, because they consider it a great honour for the county to host such a historic event, yet sad since the commemoration brings back distressing memories of the misery and suffering they were forced to endure as a result of two powerful foreign armies fighting in Taita Taveta.
