World Anti-imperialist Platform
Today, the world stands at its most perilous tipping point, as the flames of the Iran war and the West Asian war—ignited by US imperialism and Israeli Zionists—threaten to engulf other regions. It is only a matter of time before the war madness of imperialism and Zionism engulfs Africa.
To compensate for their defeat in the Sahel region, imperialist forces are resuming desperate acts of aggression across the entire African continent. If the “Lobito Corridor”—a strategic maneuver by imperialism to block the anti-imperialist influence of South Africa (a founding member of BRICS) and the revolutionary spirit of the Sahel—is its economic infrastructure, then the upcoming “Africa-France Summit” in Nairobi is its political conspiracy ground.
US and French imperialism are acting out of desperation to occupy, dominate, and plunder Africa. By manipulating reactionary armed groups across the continent, they are inciting civil wars—as seen recently in Mali—and using pro-imperialist proxy regimes to carry out fascistic suppression of anti-imperialist revolutionary forces and the people.
Imperialism is treating Kenya as a bridgehead for its invasion of Africa, forcing the militarization of the country and unhesitatingly committing fascistic political repression. Through a defense treaty ratified in April 2026, France secured stationing rights in Mombasa along with extraterritoriality, while the USA designated Kenya as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA), establishing a legal foundation for military maneuvers in East Africa. The struggle for hegemony between these two imperialist powers over Kenya reveals the deepening internal contradictions within the imperialist camp, while simultaneously intensifying the exploitation and oppression of the African people. As shown by the persecution of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya and its leader Booker Omole, imperialism and its followers are desperate to bring Kenya entirely under their thumb.
As history proves, reformist deception only awakens the masses more wisely, and fascistic oppression only tempers them more strongly. The African people, including the people of Kenya, are rising up ever more resolutely in their struggle against imperialism.
The World Anti-imperialist Platform (hereinafter “the Platform”) is an international organization founded to consolidate the anti-imperialist struggles of workers and the people worldwide against the US-led imperialist alliance. It was launched as the war in Ukraine intensified in 2022, providing a scientific analysis of the situation regarding World War 3 and presenting the correct strategy and line for international anti-imperialist forces. The Platform pursues three major goals: the intensification of the global anti-imperialist struggle, ideological warfare against opportunism, and the international communist movement. Since its launch in Paris in October 2022, the Platform has organized international anti-imperialist conferences and global anti-imperialist struggles across the world for over three years, spanning Belgrade, Caracas, Gwangju and Seoul, Athens, Washington, D.C., Dakar, The Hague and Amsterdam, and back to Caracas.
The Platform, bringing together more than 100 anti-imperialist political organizations from around the world, will further deepen and develop anti-imperialist and anti-fascist solidarity with the Kenyan people and the peoples of Africa on the occasion of the “Africa-France Summit,” the latest version of imperialist aggression against the African continent. Following the historic Dakar International Anti-imperialist Conference held in October 2024, the Nairobi International Anti-imperialist Conference of May 2026 will serve as a political and strategic turning point, which will enable the Platform and African anti-imperialist and anti-fascist organizations to share a scientific understanding of the current international situation and anti-imperialist strategic lines, while reaffirming the importance of unity and practice under the three great banners of militant Pan-Africanism, anti-imperialism, and internationalism. We are convinced that the “Nairobi Declaration” and the “Conclusions”—to be presented through this conference today and adopted through the colloquium tomorrow, respectively—will become a torch of truth and a banner of struggle illuminating the path forward for anti-imperialist forces across Africa and throughout the world.
The destiny of Kenya must be decided by the Kenyan people, and the destiny of Africa must be decided by the African people. The people united will never be defeated. Final victory belongs to the people who struggle. The just struggle of the African peoples against imperialism and fascism will surely triumph.
