المحاولات الانقلابية ضد الرئيس الكيني السابق دانيال أراب موي (1982-1980)‎

Abstract EN

Daniel arap Moi served as the second president in the history of Kenya during the period (1978-2002), and before becoming president he held the position of former Vice President of Kenya Jumu kiniata during the period (1967-1978).

He was forced to hold multiparty elections in the country in 1991, after a wave of popular discontent and external pressure, and managed to lead the Kenya African National Union party to victory in both the 1992 and 1997 elections.

Kenyans call Moi the title ((professor of politics)), and he was also known as ((the strong man)), who ruled Kenya for the longest presidential term since its independence from British occupation in 1963, and until now his term is the longest term for a president in Kenyan history, which amounted to (24) years old.

And because Moi followed the post-independence stage, his era witnessed many contradictions, between pluralism of parties and rule by iron and fire.

He came to power when the Kenyan economy began to stagnate, and soon he faced growing opposition and coup attempts against his rule.

In this context, he presided over an authoritarian regime, relying on a network of loyal supporters.
