MILITANT DECLARATION OF THE CABRALIST STUDY GROUP FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE CABRALIAN REPUBLIC AGAINST POLICE VIOLENCE IN KENYA
The Cabralist Study Group for the Defense of the Cabralian Republic (GEC/DRC), under the political and ideological coordination of Comrade Professor Iancuba Djola N’Djai, salutes with revolutionary firmness the release of the nine Pan-Africanist Kenyan youths unjustly detained in Nairobi and energetically denounces the police repression unleashed against anti-imperialist militants mobilized in defense of African sovereignty.
The withdrawal of charges due to lack of evidence confirms what the conscious peoples of Africa have always known: the criminalization of revolutionary African youth constitutes today an instrument of neocolonialism destined to silence the legitimate struggle of peoples against foreign domination, imperialist pillage, and the political, economic, military, and cultural recolonization of the African continent.
The GEC/DRC equally condemns the arbitrary continued imprisonment of the remaining protesters from France, the United Kingdom, Greece, and South Korea, detained without formal charges simply for expressing internationalist solidarity with the African cause and the dignity of the peoples of the continent.
Inspired by the immortal thought of Amílcar Cabral, we reaffirm that:
“As long as there is imperialism, there will be struggle.”
The Kenyan youth demonstrate, once again, that Africa is not asleep. The sons and daughters of the continent refuse to accept the continuation of foreign interference, economic exploitation, foreign military bases, monetary submission, and political manipulation organized by imperialist powers and their local agents.
The GEC/DRC considers the use of police violence against peaceful protesters who defend the sovereign right of African peoples to freely choose their historical destiny to be particularly grave.
The GEC/DRC, inspired by the thought of Amílcar Cabral, demands:
The GEC/DRC reaffirms its militant solidarity with the revolutionary Kenyan youth, with all combatants for African sovereignty, and with the progressive forces fighting for the total liberation of the continent.
The struggle continues.
Victory is certain.
FRANCE OUT OF AFRICA!
AFRICA TO THE AFRICANS!
LONG LIVE REVOLUTIONARY PAN-AFRICANISM!
LONG LIVE THE IMMORTAL LEGACY OF Amílcar Cabral!

Enough Repression Against the World Anti-Imperialist Platform!
Freedom for Those Detained by the Fascist and Pro-Imperialist Government of Kenya!
Following the success of the Nairobi International Conference, organized by the World Anti-Imperialist Platform and the Communist Party of Kenya – Marxist, a demonstration against the Africa-France Summit marched through the streets of the Kenyan capital on May 12. Military and police forces violently dissolved the march and continue to hold 13 participants under arrest: Lee Sang-hoon and Song Dan-bi of the People’s Democratic Party of South Korea; Joti Brar of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist); Dimitrios Patelis of the Revolutionary Theory Group of Greece; Gacheke Gachihi; Guy Bremond; Sayialel Mankuyio; Juliaus Kamau; John Kamau; Brian Mwanzi; Derivk Opiyo; Fredrik Yara; and Colins Otieno.
Through the International Monetary Fund and with the complicity of the government of President William Ruto, the imperialists promote neoliberal economic measures in Kenya that worsen the living conditions of the working and peasant population. Popular protests have been savagely repressed, with more than 130 people murdered or disappeared, and the detention and torture of progressive forces—particularly against the militants of the CPK-M, including its General Secretary Booker Omole, who was shot at his home and later arrested without charges.
After the Sahel countries liberated themselves from the neocolonial tutelage of France, NATO designated Kenya as a non-member ally in 2024 to turn this country into a base from which US, British, and French imperialists can continue to attack and exploit the entire African continent.
The development of the economic contradictions of world capitalism pushes the imperialists toward increasing violence against workers and against the nations that resist them. They target all true democrats with their violence, and particularly the World Anti-Imperialist Platform. These oppressors of humanity have learned from history that we can defeat them when we follow the path pointed out by the Platform: uniting all possible forces in actions against imperialism; combating the revisionism, opportunism, and sectarianism that divide them; and promoting the communist movement toward the eradication of the causes of imperialism and fascism.
For this reason, despite the peaceful and legal nature of the Platform’s activities, they prevented its leaders from entering the USA to protest against the NATO Summit, harassed them in Paris, and now hold them under arrest in Nairobi.
However, they will not be able to stop the growing resistance of the popular masses and their revolutionary leaders to their desperate attempt to plunge the planet into World War 3.
Down with imperialism and fascism!
Long live the united struggle for freedom, the sovereignty of peoples, and world peace!
