TO THE WORLD ANTI IMPERIALIST PLATFORM CONFERENCE
NAIROBI, KENYA 14th MAY 2026
CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY AGAINST REPRESSION, ABDUCTIONS, AND POLITICAL PERSECUTION IN KENYA
Dear comrades, revolutionary delegates, brothers and sisters in struggle,
The Communist Party Marxist Kenya extends militant greetings to all anti imperialist organisations gathered here in Nairobi.
We welcome you at a critical moment in the history of Kenya, Africa, and the world anti imperialist movement.
This conference is taking place at a time when imperialism is intensifying its aggression against the peoples of the world. It is taking place at a time when capitalism is in deep crisis, when war and fascism are expanding, and when ruling classes everywhere are resorting increasingly to repression in order to defend their power.
And here in Kenya, comrades, we are witnessing this reality directly.
As the World Anti Imperialist Platform gathers to discuss anti imperialism and anti fascism in Africa, we must speak honestly about the growing repression facing revolutionary and anti imperialist forces in Kenya today.
The Kenyan state, acting in defence of comprador capitalism and imperialist interests, has intensified surveillance, intimidation, arrests, abductions, and political persecution against militant youth, people’s organizers, democratic activists, and revolutionary forces.
Members and leaders of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya have repeatedly faced threats, harassment, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation because of standing firmly with the struggling masses.
Our comrades have been followed.
Our activities disrupted.
Our organizers threatened.
Our members arrested.
And in the broader movement, Kenya has witnessed the horrifying rise of abductions and enforced disappearances targeting those who dare to resist imperialist austerity and state repression.
This situation cannot be separated from the political direction of the current Kenyan state.
Imperialism demands obedience.
The IMF demands austerity.
Foreign monopoly capital demands stability for exploitation.
And the ruling class responds by criminalizing dissent and militarizing politics.
Comrades, the youth uprisings against the IMF dictated Finance Bill marked an important turning point in Kenya. Millions of young people rejected hopelessness, unemployment, exploitation, corruption, and imperialist domination.
The masses demanded dignity.
The state answered with bullets and repression.
Many were killed.
Many were abducted.
Many were arrested.
Many remain traumatized by state violence.
The Communist Party Marxist Kenya stood openly with the masses during this struggle, and because of this principled position, repression against the Party and its leadership has intensified.
Our General Secretary, Comrade Booker Omole, has become a target of political intimidation because he has consistently exposed the role of imperialism, comprador capitalism, and militarization in Kenya.
But comrades, we declare clearly before this international gathering:
We shall not retreat.
We shall not surrender.
We shall not abandon the masses.
No amount of intimidation can defeat an organized people conscious of their historical mission.
Comrades, this conference discusses anti imperialism and anti fascism not as abstract theories, but as living struggles. The repression taking place in Kenya today is part of the global pattern of imperialist domination and fascistic tendencies developing under capitalism in crisis.
From Palestine to the Congo.
From Haiti to Sudan.
From the Sahel to Kenya.
Imperialism increasingly relies on militarization, repression, and fear.
This is why international solidarity is not optional.
It is a revolutionary responsibility.
The Communist Party Marxist Kenya therefore calls upon all organisations gathered here, and all anti imperialist forces internationally:
Condemn the repression, abductions, arrests, and political persecution taking place in Kenya.
Stand in solidarity with CPMK and all progressive democratic forces under attack.
Demand accountability for enforced disappearances and state violence.
Expose the role of imperialism and IMF austerity in intensifying repression across Africa.
Strengthen international anti imperialist coordination and solidarity.
Comrades, history teaches us that repression cannot stop the movement of the masses.
Colonialism used prisons.
Apartheid used massacres.
Imperialism uses surveillance, militarization, and terror.
But the people continue to resist.
The people continue to organize.
The people continue to struggle.
And struggle they shall.
We conclude by reaffirming:
Hands off the Communist Party Marxist Kenya!
Hands off Comrade Booker Omole!
Stop abductions and political repression in Kenya!
Down with imperialism and neocolonialism!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
Long live the unity of the oppressed peoples of the world!
A luta continua!
The struggle continues!
