Mungiki
Mungiki is a banned ethnic organisation in Kenya. The name (mũngĩkĩ, ) means "a united people" or "multitude" in the Kikuyu language. The organization, which apparently originated in the late 1980s, is secretive and bears some similarity to mystery religions. Specifics of their origin and doctrines are unclear. However, the supposed doctrine of Mungiki incorporates elements of traditional Kikuyu customs and values, promoting a return to African spirituality, communal living, and resistance against post-colonial influences.
