“The New Colonialism” – War on Want
https://waronwant.org/sites/default/files/TheNewColonialism.pdf

It is our intention to return what we have received into the mobilization to oust the Meloni government and replace it with a government that implements the progressive core of the 1948 Constitution. We want to use the investigation against us to take a step forward. Therefore:

• we call on all active, mobilized and conscious forces standing with the anti-repression struggle – individuals, workers’ and people’s organizations, trade unions and political organizations, elected representatives at all levels, figures from civil society, the cultural sector and the community associations, and sincere democrats – to keep expressing solidarity with the Carc Party in their public statements at meetings, in the streets, within institutions, on social media, etc. We ask those who have already spoken out to keep doing so, and those who have not to start doing now. Take a stand. Choose your side;

• we call on all active, mobilized and conscious forces standing with the anti-repression struggle to sign this appeal and include their contact details so we can stay in touch. This is more than just a gesture of solidarity: we are planning to organize debates, in-depth discussion and initiatives against repression; we will invite EVERYONE, but indicating your contact is a first sign of interest and helps us to proceed more efficiently;

• we call on everyone for a financial contribution to replace the equipment stolen from our comrades under the pretext of searches and investigations. These are computers, phones and other devices without which political activity is NOT compromised, but is slowed down and hindered. We rely on the help and support of the popular masses to repair this damage as soon as possible.

At this time, 16 people are confirmed dead, 5 are missing, and several dozen are wounded as a result of a Ukrainian drone attack on a college dormitory in the city of Starobelsk, Luhansk People’s Republic. The students were peacefully asleep in their dormitory when the strike hit. Many were injured; rescue workers continue to clear the rubble and fight for every life.

We call on all comrades who care about the fate of fighting Russia and our children to stand together against imperialist terror

When our own government has not only failed to act to prevent genocide in Gaza, but has been shown to be actively participating in that heinous crime, the working class and its organisations must intervene to stop these atrocities from being perpetrated in our names.

Moreover, we must recognise that until we learn to prevent the British ruling class from massacring and plundering abroad, we will have no hope of liberating ourselves from the increasingly heavy yoke of capitalist slavery at home.

In April 2025, London Underground train drivers who are members of the craft union Aslef voted in favour of the implementation of a four-day working week to be part of pay negotiations that were taking place at the time. 
Aslef, which represents approximately 80 percent of London Underground drivers, negotiated a settlement with management which reinstated the 30-minute paid meal relief (which had been taken away from all workers back in 1993). This reduced the working week for train drivers by one hour to 34 hours per week, and they then began the process of implementing a four-day working week for train drivers.

Trade unions affiliated with the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) in Mesoamerica and the Caribbean expressed solidarity with Cuba on Friday, condemning what they described as escalating U.S. military threats against the island.

They reaffirmed support for the Cuban Workers’ Central (CTC), the Cuban government, and Cuba’s right to self-determination. The statement criticized the historical record of U.S. interventions abroad and rejected any justification for military action against Cuba. It also praised Cuba’s resistance to economic sanctions and blockade measures. The declaration called for increased international solidarity and unity among workers worldwide.

Condemn Kenyan authorities’ crackdown on Anti-Imperialism movement
International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) and Confederation of Lawyers of Asia and the Pacific (COLAP) condemn Kenyan authorities’ crackdown on the Anti-Imperialism movement

An international conference organized by the World Anti-Imperialist Platform was taking place in Nairobi, Kenya, in May, 2026. Participants from local and foreign nations were preparing to join a protest against the continued presence and escalating aggression of French colonial influence in Africa. Against this peaceful gathering, Kenyan police launched a crackdown and carried out mass arrests of both local and foreign activists on May 12. A total of 19 international and local activists were arrested, including members of the Institution of People’s Constitution from South Korea, which is an IADL and COLAP affiliate organization. If deported to South Korea, they will face another repression under the National Security Law. NSL punishes broad activities that benefit the DPRK, such as the anti-imperialism movement.

After three days of detention, the five international activists, including an IPC colleague, were finally released with strong protests from local and international organizations.

The repressive actions of the Kenyan Ruto administration constitute a blatant violation of political rights and freedom of expression, as protected by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This crackdown should be strongly condemned as an act of repression designed to maintain neocolonial structures imposed upon the African continent. We express our solidarity with the struggling masses of Africa in their quest for total liberation from colonialism and imperialism.

We demand that the Kenyan authorities:

• Immediately and unconditionally release all remaining arrested activists.
• Immediately cease all police harassment and repression against activists and
progressive movements.
• Respect the political rights of all participants attending anti-imperialist gatherings.
• Don’t deport them to their country where there is fear of persecution.

Workers and popular organizations in El Salvador gathered at Plaza José Martí in San Salvador to commemorate the 131st anniversary of the passing into immortality of the Cuban hero, José Martí.

Participants also condemned the ongoing blockade imposed by the government of the United States against the brotherly people of Cuba, reaffirming their solidarity with the Cuban people and their struggle for sovereignty and dignity.

The event was joined and supported by social movements, trade union organizations, and international solidarity activists, including the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) and the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC).

Kenya remains trapped within the chains of imperialist domination. The economy is structured not to serve the people but to serve foreign monopolies, international finance institutions, comprador politicians, and parasitic elites tied to imperialist interests. The same system that imposes IMF dictated austerity, taxation, privatisation, and debt dependency is the same system now forcing the masses to carry the burden of rising global fuel prices and imperialist wars abroad.

Imperialism is in crisis internationally.
Its crisis is now being transferred onto the backs of the workers and oppressed peoples of Kenya.

But history teaches us a fundamental truth: repression cannot extinguish the revolutionary aspirations of the masses.

The ongoing General Strike stands within the proud militant traditions of the Kenyan people, from the anti colonial workers’ struggles of the 1950 Nairobi General Strike to the armed resistance of the Kenya Land and Freedom Army. Every generation of the oppressed has been compelled to confront exploitation and foreign domination through organised struggle.

The Central Committee therefore calls upon:

All workers and progressive forces in Kenya to deepen organisation among the masses.

All revolutionary youth and student organisations to intensify political education and resistance against fascist repression.

Trade unions, peasant organisations, and democratic movements to unite against the escalating cost of living and state terror.

Communist and workers’ parties internationally to stand in solidarity with the Kenyan masses and condemn the killings carried out by the Kenyan regime.

Anti imperialist organisations across Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America to expose the role of imperialism, debt slavery, and comprador rule in producing the current catastrophe.

The enemy believes fear can defeat the people.
But history has already buried stronger empires than this one.

The more the regime murders and represses, the more it exposes its own bankruptcy before the masses.

The revolutionary struggle shall continue.
The martyrs of the people shall never be forgotten.
Imperialism and comprador rule shall be defeated.

Long live the General Strike.
Long live proletarian internationalism.
Long live Marxism Leninism.
Forward to the National Democratic Revolution.

ON THE ONGOING GENERAL STRIKE AND THE ESCALATING STATE TERROR AGAINST THE MASSES

STATEMENT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY MARXIST KENYA (CPMK)

May 19th, 2026


The Central Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya extends its highest revolutionary salute to the workers, students, boda boda riders, matatu workers, peasants, unemployed youth, and oppressed masses currently engaged in the ongoing General Strike and nationwide resistance against the unbearable conditions imposed upon the people by imperialism and its local comprador agents.

Today Kenya stands at a historic turning point.

The masses can no longer live in the old way.
The ruling classes can no longer govern in the old way.

The sharp increase in fuel prices, transport costs, and the price of basic commodities is not an accident. It is not a temporary crisis. It is the inevitable outcome of a neocolonial capitalist system subordinated to imperialism, foreign finance capital, and the dictatorship of profit over human life.

The ongoing strike has paralysed transport and sections of economic activity across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other towns as workers and the urban poor reject the crushing burden imposed upon them. Reports from international and local media confirm that the current fuel crisis has already driven transport fares and food prices to intolerable levels for ordinary Kenyans.

The Central Committee particularly recognises and salutes the heroic role being played by CPMK cadres and organisers on the frontlines of the struggle.

Across the streets, estates, campuses, factories, transport stages, and working class neighbourhoods, Party cadres have stood firmly among the masses directing political consciousness toward the real enemy: imperialism, comprador capitalism, and the reactionary ruling class that protects foreign interests while condemning millions to hunger, unemployment, and misery.

At a moment when opportunists, liberals, tribalists, and reformists attempt to divert the anger of the people into confusion and empty slogans, CPMK has consistently provided revolutionary clarity, organisation, discipline, and ideological direction rooted in Marxism Leninism and the mass line.

The Party has not stood outside the struggle.
The Party has stood inside the struggle.
Among the masses.
With the masses.
Leading the masses.

The Kenyan comprador state, unable to solve the contradictions of the system it serves, has once again resorted to naked violence.

The Central Committee condemns in the strongest possible terms the murder of one CPMK comrade and the killing of at least three other protesters by the armed forces of the state. We equally condemn the injuries, arrests, intimidation, and terror unleashed against the masses in struggle.

The blood of the martyrs shall not be forgotten.
Their sacrifice shall water the tree of liberation.

Reuters, AP, and international observers have confirmed that police forces opened violent repression against protesters while the regime deployed tear gas, mass arrests, and armed force against the people.

This brutality exposes the true character of the Kenyan state.

When workers demand bread, the state answers with bullets.
When youth demand dignity, the state answers with prisons.
When the poor resist exploitation, the ruling class unleashes fascism.

This is not democracy.
This is the dictatorship of comprador capitalism defended through organised violence.

The current crisis must be understood scientifically and historically.
