Dear comrades and participant to the meeting of the World Anti-Imperialist platform and the Dynamique Unitaire Panafricaine in Dakar,
We weren’t able to come to Senegal this time but we want to give a salutation and a contribution to the analysis of the conference on what we consider important in this historical phase.
The world changed in the last 15 years: in 2011, with the war against Libya, Russia and China weren’t strong enough to stop the scenario and prevent the fall of the People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. From 2009, the BRICS, especially China and Russia, are taking more and more influence in the world, both economically and politically. Today’s situation in Ukraine and in the Middle East show us that the multipolar world has the chance to beat the unipolar imperialism of the West. The attempt of destabilize and realign the world on the will of the US is not successful like it was years ago.
This doesn’t mean that we could win and overcome imperialism so easily. Imperialism is triggered by the rise of the oppressed nation and it will become sneakier, and it still has intellectual, economic and military strength to lead the rest of the world and impose their will.
For this, today more than ever it is important to renew a pan-African movement, as the conditions for it to succeed are highly promising. In the new multipolar world that is developing, the African continent has the chance to be united and face Western imperialism with success. In order to be successful on this goal, previous divisions must be overcome and it is also needed to become more and more independent from the Atlantic economy and detach culturally from the West, embracing China and the New Silk Road, fully implementing it in Africa in a win-win cooperation system.
All of this can be achieved both working in the African nation but also in the world diasporas, especially in Europe, in which the African descendant have to maintain their link to their cultural background, working closely with Marxist parties, trade unions and mass movements, to strengthen the struggle between workers and reach a collective consciousness of who the enemy really is.
We wish you a fruitful conference and good work. Long live international proletarianism!
