In some cases, only one country is waging war by proxy, while the other is a direct combatant. This list is incomplete ; you can help by expanding it.

The name Kenya Land and Freedom Army is sometimes heard in connection with Mau Mau. KLFA is not simply another name for Mau Mau : it was the name that Dedan Kimathi used for a coordinating body which he tried to set up for Mau Mau. It was also the name of another militant group that sprang up briefly in the spring of 1960 ; the group was broken up during a brief operation from 26 March to 30 April.
