Terrorists of the Aberdare Book by Ng’ang’a Mbugua

Terrorists of the Aberdare is not only a story of love in a theatre rocked by human-wildlife conflict; it is also a metaphor about the debilitating effects of alcohol consumption on the youth and indeed, entire communities.

SONKO WAKADOSI is a man chasing a dream but fate has not been too kind to him and conspires with forces beyond his control to keep him and his lover apart in this tragi-comic story of pathos; of hope amid despair and extra-ordinary courage in the face of great odds in a land where man and beast are locked in a constant struggle.

Terrorists of the Aberdare is not only a story of love in a theatre rocked by human-wildlife conflict; it is also a metaphor about the debilitating effects of alcohol consumption on the youth and indeed, entire communities.
