Struggle Unity Platform (Mücadele Birliği Platformu): Release Our Comrades Immediately!
Imperialist aggression continues unabated. In Kenya, a brutal attack was launched against the anti-imperialist counter-summit organized by the peoples of Africa in opposition to the France-Africa imperialist summit (“Africa Forward”), held under the leadership of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform.
At noon on May 12, officials of Kenya’s fascist Ruto government attacked demonstrators, including the delegation of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. Members of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform delegation, representatives of PASAI, leaders and members of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, were violently detained. Among the 13 people taken into custody were Joti Brar, representative of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB-ML, Britain); Dimitrios Patelis, founding member of the Revolutionary Theory Group (Greece); Former President and the Deputy Director of the International Department of the People’s Democracy Party (‘Republic of Korea’); members of the PASAI international delegation; and members of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya (CPMK).
This attack, carried out through the puppet fascist Ruto government of the imperialists, is proof of how the imperialist masters are losing sleep in the face of the peoples’ uprising. It demonstrates their fear of the activities of the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. Ultimately, it is an admission of their own weakness.
The Ruto regime is not only signing a “non-NATO ally” agreement with the United States and submitting to the IMF economic system, but is also pursuing military and economic cooperation with French imperialism. In line with the needs of imperialism, Kenya is being turned into a counter-revolutionary base in Africa through this fascist government. Kenya is becoming one of the frontline countries in the global civil war.
But in vain! It is imperialism that is collapsing today. The repression they impose is the result of their desperation. And every act of repression, every aggression, gives rise to and strengthens resistance. The resistance of Kenya’s workers and laborers, Kenya’s communists, and the peoples of Africa will grow and emerge stronger from this attack. Fascism will be destroyed, and the imperialists will be completely expelled from Africa by the blows of the working masses.
Immediately Release Our Arrested Comrades!
Freedom for the World Anti-Imperialist Platform Delegation!
