The Only Option is a Total Existential Confrontation: PFLP


‘Our people have no choice but to engage in a comprehensive existential confrontation’

The Popular Front: The decisions of the “actual annexation” represent an essential shift in the level of Zionist criminality and the biggest escalation since 1967; it is a declaration of all-out war against Palestinian existence, and the transition from military administration to direct colonial sovereignty, with the aim of finishing off our people and cause once and for all

These new Zionist criminal measures bury the “Oslo” phase and the illusions of a settlement forever, and clearly reveal a Zionist plan to impose comprehensive security, military, and administrative guardianship, through which they will transform our cities and villages into ethnic ghettos run by Zionist war criminals.

– The Popular Front sees in this escalating fascist Zionist aggression against the land, the holy sites, and the Palestinian presence, a conclusive proof that the Zionist enemy has decided to eliminate the Palestinian presence geographically and politically, which places us before a historical imperative that cannot be interpreted otherwise; our people and their living forces have no choice but to engage in a comprehensive existential confrontation to break this conspiracy and repel its effects.

– In the face of this fateful turning point, the Popular Front calls on all national and Islamic forces and our people everywhere to unite immediately behind a unified national and militant confrontation strategy, based on a complete and final withdrawal from all commitments with the usurping entity, the abolition of all forms of security coordination, and the adoption of comprehensive resistance as the sole means of responding to this liquidation plan and protecting our historical right to our land.

Down with US Imperialism Forward with the Sovereignty and Dignity of Oppressed Nations: CPM-Kenya


From the Office of the General Secretary
Communist Party Marxist Kenya
Booker Omole
30 January 2026

The Communist Party Marxist Kenya speaks at a moment of grave danger and great possibility in world history.

The drums of war beat once again.

The sanctions tighten once again.

The same old empire sharpens its knives once again.

Today the target is Iran.

Let us speak plainly and without diplomatic cowardice. Iran is not under attack because it is cruel. Iran is not under attack because it is backward. Iran is not under attack because it has failed its people.

Iran is under attack because it refuses to kneel before United States imperialism.

That is the crime.

That is always the crime.

For more than four decades the Iranian nation has refused submission. It has refused to hand over its oil. It has refused to surrender its sovereignty. It has refused to convert itself into a puppet state policed by Washington and Tel Aviv.

And for this refusal it has been punished with sanctions, sabotage, encirclement, threats, and endless propaganda.

This is not diplomacy. This is siege warfare.

Sanctions are not policy instruments. Sanctions are weapons.

They are weapons aimed not at ministers but at workers. Not at generals but at children. Not at palaces but at the poor.

Sanctions mean hospitals without medicine. Factories without parts. Families without bread. Youth without a future.

Sanctions are bombs that explode slowly.

And when slow death fails, imperialism prepares fast death.

Warships gather. Bases multiply. Terrorist designations are issued. Psychological warfare floods the airwaves. Regime change is openly discussed in Washington boardrooms.

This is the same script we have seen before.

It was used against Iraq. It was used against Libya. It was used against Syria. It was used against Venezuela. It is used daily against Cuba and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

And we in Africa know this script better than most.

We have buried its victims.

Congo was looted in the name of stability. Libya was destroyed in the name of democracy. Somalia was militarised in the name of security. Across our continent the IMF dictates policy while our people tighten their belts.

Kenya itself is not free.

Foreign military bases sit on our soil. Debt chains our economy. Our budget answers to the World Bank before it answers to the people. Our youth migrate because imperialism has suffocated national development.

So when Iran is strangled, we do not observe from a distance.

We recognise the same hand on our own throat.

Those who imagine that the destruction of Iran would mean freedom for its people are either naïve or dishonest. Wherever imperialism intervenes, it leaves only ashes. It does not build nations. It breaks them. It does not bring democracy. It installs puppets.

Imperialism does not liberate. It dominates.

As Marxists we analyse scientifically.

We ask one decisive question.

Who benefits.

Do sanctions hurt Wall Street or Iranian workers. Do threats weaken the Pentagon or the Iranian peasantry. Does regime change strengthen the masses or multinational corporations.

The answer is obvious.

Therefore the principal contradiction is clear.

The main enemy is not the internal contradictions of Iranian society. Every society has contradictions and the Iranian people alone have the right to resolve them.

The main enemy is external aggression by US imperialism and its allies.

And Marxists always strike the main enemy.

To side, even indirectly, with imperialist narratives is to disarm the oppressed. To echo the propaganda of Washington is to serve the very system that loots Africa and Asia.

We refuse such revisionism. We refuse such confusion.

The Communist Party Marxist Kenya stands firmly and unequivocally with the sovereignty of the Iranian nation.

We affirm that no people can be bombed into freedom.

We affirm that no nation can be sanctioned into democracy.

We affirm that self determination cannot grow under foreign occupation or economic strangulation.

Iran today stands as a line of resistance against the arrogance of the powerful United States empire. By refusing submission, it defends not only itself but all oppressed nations.

When Iran resists, the empire is weakened.

When the empire is weakened, Africa breathes.

When one nation stands upright, others learn that they too can stand.

Thus Iran’s struggle is not separate from ours.

It is connected to Kenya.

It is connected to Congo.

It is connected to Palestine.

It is connected to every worker and peasant fighting to live with dignity.

Internationalism is not charity. It is shared destiny.

For this reason the Communist Party Marxist Kenya declares:

We oppose all sanctions against Iran.

We oppose all military threats and preparations for war.

We condemn all imperialist interference in Iran’s internal affairs.

We uphold the right of the Iranian people to determine their own political and economic future.

We call upon the workers, youth and patriots of Kenya and Africa to intensify the struggle against imperialism in all its forms.

Let the imperialists understand this clearly.

The age when Africa and Asia could be bullied without resistance is ending.

The era of submission is over.

The oppressed are learning to stand.

Iran stands today as a symbol of dignity, sovereignty, and defiance.

And in defending its sovereignty, it defends the dignity of Kenya. It defends the dignity of Africa. It defends the future of all oppressed humanity.

History is not written by empires in decline.

History is written by the peoples who resist.

Long live proletarian internationalism.

Long live African and West Asian solidarity.

Down with US imperialism.

Forward to sovereignty, dignity, and socialism.

Anarchist Political Prisoner Hridindu Roychowdhury Transferred to New Prison


Political Prisoner Hridindy Roychowdhury has been transferred to a new prison- a low security prison in Illinois. He also has an upcoming birthday on February 24th so feel free to shoot him a note or birthday wishes.

FCI Thomson
PO Box 1002
Thomson, IL 61285

Hridindu Roychowdhury is an anarchist from Madison, Wisconcin who was sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for attacking a building with a Molotov cocktail in the wake of the leak of the draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overruling Roe v. Wade.

He targeted the building because it was occupied by an anti-choice organization (Wisconsin Family Action). Roychowdhury acknowledged spray-painting the message “If abortions aren’t safe then you aren’t either” on the outside of the building. No one was in the office at the time. Roychowdhury pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2023. He was was ordered to pay nearly $32,000 in restitution and was serving his sentence at FCI Marion. He received a 7.5 year sentence.

In May 2025, he was shipped to Wisconsin to go before a grand jury. After the judge recently found him in contempt for refusing to answer questions within the grand jury room, he sat in this county jail without earning any good time—in essence his federal time was frozen until contempt is purged.

Originally from the U.S. Southwest, he is a diligent academic and enjoyer of word puzzles and Terry Pratchet novels. Earlier in federal detention, he had been keeping himself busy by taking courses in advanced mathematics, tutoring other people in prison to complete their GED tests, and participating with a dog training program. He was moved to county jail in 2025 in retaliation for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury.

Hridindu was released from contempt and returned to the Bureau of Prisons in September 2025.

Report Back from NYE Demonstration at California City ICE Detention Facility


On the 31st of December we drove from opposite ends of the state into the Mojave desert. Some compas came from the north and others the south. Our objective: to demonstrate love for our gente—the migrant captives—and opposition towards the deportation regime. Our target: the California City Correctional Facility (CAC).

Operated by Corecivic, CAC is like most prisons: a facility deliberately situated in the middle of nowhere to maroon. It is yet another instance in the architecture of disappearance—a carceral colony tucked behind a single main road. CAC was California‘s only private prison until it was closed in March of 2024, and then, as quickly as it was killed off, resuscitated into an ICE detention facility in 2025, one of largest in the state. This is what “shutting down” a prison means to the liberal progressive regime: endless permutations of incarceration and ceaseless resurrections of a thing that should be buried.

There were not many of us at this demonstration, but that didn’t matter. And doesn’t matter. You don’t need a gang of people to change the state of things. You don’t need an army to respond to an enemy. A handful of “pocos pero locos” will do.

The best way to describe this demonstration was “ad hoc.” This is not to say everything was held together with paper clips and chewing gum. No, on the contrary, we did our homework, but each assignment in rapid succession: everything was patched together with what little time we could steal. The demonstration was assembled in the fleeting intervals between a flurry of political projects and the demands of our daily lives. We borrowed speakers from comrades, organized sleeping arrangements on living room floors, arranged a legal hotline, and studied property parcel and easement maps beforehand. Moments prior to the demonstration, we prepared a banner on the fly, reviewed our plan of action, discussed contingencies, and hopped into a few selected cars with our sights set on the stomping grounds of our enemy.

When we pulled up to the detention facility, a security guard immediately told us to leave from the safety of his patrol truck. The grunt asserted we were on private property, but we insisted it was an easement. In hindsight, it didn’t matter; we were not interested in engaging in a useless debate on legality, but merely deployed the law to stymie CoreCivic. As we told the rent-a-cop, we were staging a protest and would not leave. After some back and forth, he relented and did not fight us, instead grabbing his radio and calling for reinforcements.

In the meantime, we rolled out giant speakers and unfurled the banner which we had spray-painted together hours prior. It was cloudy, cold and slightly drizzling—but if security couldn’t stop us, then the elements wouldn’t either.

We were loud as fuck, nearly blowing out the 1,000-Watt speakers. We bumped classic corridos, cumbias, and mariachi, with a sprinkle of political jams, focusing on music we thought people would want to hear. We chanted, spoke to our people inside, and heard our words echo loudly between the concrete walls all throughout the facility. Sound travels far in the desert. Some people riding quads in the sand dunes nearby pulled up to watch, and when we waved at them, they waved back. It put a smile on our faces to know we could find friends in the most desolate of places.

As the demonstration unfolded, the contingent of security guards grew from four to eight. They threatened us with the police, but we told them to fucking call the cops. They heckled us left and right, arguing the protest was pointless, that nobody on the inside could hear us—when in reality we could hardly hear them. Most of these motherfuckers had “nopales en sus frentes”, but one sellout recording us caught our eye in particular because of his facial hair: he had a Cantinflas mustache. You cannot make this shit up. This is the biggest contradiction inherent to the deportation regime: cannibalization. Everywhere you go you see and hear the children of migrants, willfully devouring their own in the name of American imperialism.

Lacking any plan, the security guards started filming us and our license plates—as if it hadn’t occurred to us that we would be recorded. The moment this little show began, we knew we had the upper hand. This is the strategy of you’d-better-stop-or-we’ll-tell. We are sorry to admit this, but pulling out phones to film during confrontations is generally what we do when we are losing and when we have no better option. It was funny to see the tables turned, to be on the other side of “the whole world is watching!” for once.

Eventually two cops arrived on scene and, dumbasses that they are, confused their strategy and ended up playing good cop/good cop, and stood off to the side as we wrapped up our demonstration. One of them tried to make small talk and speak to us in Spanish. He asked if we had people on the inside. We asked him the same. He responded “Si tengo dos primos ahí. Los agarraron por pendejos. Estaban de pandilleros en Los Ángeles.”

At the end of the conversation, this sellout tried shaking hands with one of us, who responded: I don’t shake hands or bump fists with the cops. “Why?” the pig asked, half laughing and half incredulous. And he was told straight out, “because we are enemies.”

We understand that long before ICE hit the scene, it was the cops who were busting heads and kidnapping our people. We understand this is still their function today. Let’s talk plainly: the pig does to the people what the migra does to the migrant. There isn’t any discernible difference between one gun and the other. They are two sides of the same military campaign.

We didn’t come to the doorstep of our enemy to have a pleasant dialogue. Nether did we come to simply bark at the deportation regime, but rather to remind them and, most importantly, ourselves and our people that we have teeth.

This is critical in an age of heightened psychological warfare, in an age of defanging, where every pathologist of peace is praised as a hero and every fighter is disappeared as a villain.

We yelled into the microphone:

“[A los migrantes,] estamos aquí porque nos oponemos al régimen actual…Así que no se rindan, no se dejen, no se claudiquen. Aquí estamos para apoyar a su lucha.”

So, we spent some more time blasting music, banging pots, chanting, and speaking on the mic.
When the cops pressed us to leave, we forestalled. We said we needed to consult with the rest of our group as we had no leader, and would spend the next 10 minutes slowly making rounds talking to one another, mainly about other topics, stalling until about the hour mark. At that point we concluded the protest on our own terms, to the great relief of the police and wannabe-cops. We said fair-well to those held captive:

“Feliz año nuevo! Les queremos!”

Then we drove to the next town over to debrief, assessing the action. We highlighted victories, engaged in self-critique, and questioned how we grow from here. We did all this while joking around over shared food and beer, feeling the joy of solidarity, keeping in our hearts those captured and those who continue to fight back.

SO, WHAT?

Frankly, we entered this demonstration somewhat nervous. We did not know what to expect despite many years of experience with prison noise demos. Adding to our uncertainty were felony-level charges for recent demonstrations in other cities gone awry as well as the general heightened political repression sweeping the country, particularly against anti-ICE actions. It felt risky, and we were uncertain if we were making a choice we might regret.

We recognize a large component of political and ideological control is shifting and establishing what people conceive as reasonable and even possible. In the past year alone we have witnessed a rapid and insidious normalization of daily terror—at home and abroad—and a popular response that is greatly constrained by legalism and passive observation. The endgame is the production of the eternal onlooker in the face of naked violence, the reconstitution of our reality as museum where “look but don’t touch” is the cardinal rule.

This is not to say all those who watch are operatives of pacification. We will never spit on the names of Renae Good, Alex Pretti and so many others murdered and maimed by federal agents. Rather, we are here to invoke the names of those rarely invoked. We are driven by those who have been arrested, incarcerated, and buried alive for engaging in the distinct tactics we need here and now. We are saying there is more to life than death.

If this demonstration was nothing else, it was to break from the paradigm of death.
We wanted to overcome our inertia, step outside of the familiar, broaden our horizons, and make advances into enemy territory. We wanted to knock on the feds’ own front door, make them nervous, show them that we are organized, that we do not cower in fear, and that we do not forget the migrant captives. Most importantly, we wanted to go to our people trapped in that detention hellscape, and show them that we love them and that we are willing to risk our relative freedom for theirs. We wanted to show them that we will fight for them, with them, that it is beautiful to fight, and that tomorrow is a new day. This is all to say, we wanted to remind our people of the kind of future we can have by taking our power.

During this demonstration, we strengthened our collective capacity and extended our trust. Although we were a small crew of vouched-for people, everyone left with new connections based on having pulled something off together and getting to know people who showed up when it mattered. All of us walked away excited to do it again—and larger!

While the noise demo certainly may have gone differently, it ultimately went smoothly. A moderate amount of planning went into it and nothing happened we did not predict. The demo turned out to be not significantly riskier than previous demos. We were deep in CoreCivic territory. But rather than us being disadvantaged by their terrain, they were caught off guard, did not know what to do, and did not want the trouble. They tried multiple times to intimidate us, and when we were not intimidated, they did not have a solid plan B.

We went forward with this noise demo despite the unstable and volatile political climate in the spirit of cautious bravery, in the spirit of experimentation. We refused to let the system set the terms. If we cower from taking strategic actions out of fear for what might happen, we have already lost the fight before it has even begun.

That is not to say be reckless, of course. Experimentation means just that—trying things with open eyes with a willingness to be wrong. To throw things at the wall to see what sticks, and pivot accordingly: a dialectical and deliberate process. “Lento, pero avanzo.”

Those of us inside the border empire of the so-called United States, those of us on the outside of the prison walls, are often the ones best positioned to take action against carceral imperialism, deal heavy blows, and inflict significant damage to its position of domination.

We are sharing this report back and reflection in part to encourage others to attempt similar or completely distinct actions. In these changing and uncertain times, there are as many opportunities for success as there are for failure. And we will not know which is which unless we try.

Cuba Must Not Fall! Imperialism, Resistance and the Global Stakes of Defending the Cuban Revolution


The struggle to defend the Cuban Revolution—to preserve Cuba’s independence, sovereignty, and right to self-determination—is not simply the struggle of a small Caribbean nation resisting a powerful neighbour. Nor is it confined to the geographical contours of an island of eleven million people. It is, rather, a struggle with profound and incalculable consequences for Latin America, the Caribbean, and the global fight for justice, human dignity, and the right of peoples to live free from imperialist diktat. What is at stake in Cuba has never been merely Cuba itself. The fate of the Cuban Revolution is inseparable from the broader historical contest between domination and emancipation, between empire and sovereignty, between a world ordered by profit and power and one grounded in human need and collective dignity.

From its very inception, the Cuban Revolution represented a rupture in the global order of imperialism. In the Western Hemisphere—long treated by Washington as its private preserve—Cuba asserted the radical proposition that a small, formerly colonized country could chart its own path, control its own resources, and prioritize social justice over foreign capital. That defiance, more than any specific policy or alliance, has been the enduring “crime” of the Cuban Revolution. The relentless hostility directed at Cuba for over six decades—economic warfare, political isolation, sabotage, terrorism, and ideological assault—cannot be understood as a response to Cuban actions alone. It is a warning, aimed at the rest of the Global South, of the price of disobedience.

In 1991, amid the collapse of the Eastern bloc and the triumphalist declarations of the “end of history,” Fidel Castro offered a stark and prescient assessment of the moment. “Now internationalism means defending and preserving the Cuban Revolution,” he stated. “To defend this trench, this bastion of socialism, is the greatest service we can offer to humanity.” This was not rhetorical flourish. It was a strategic and moral diagnosis of a new global conjuncture. With the socialist camp dismantled and neoliberalism ascendant, the survival of the Cuban Revolution itself became an act of internationalism—an objective barrier against the unchallenged expansion of imperial power and market fundamentalism.

Three years later, on November 25, 1994, Fidel sharpened this argument in his closing speech to the World Conference in Solidarity with Cuba. “We understand what it would mean for all the progressive forces, for all the revolutionary forces, for all the lovers of peace and justice in the world, if the United States succeeded in crushing the Cuban Revolution,” he declared. “And because of this we consider defending the revolution along with you to be our most sacred duty, even at the cost of death.” These words captured a truth often obscured in mainstream discourse: the destruction of the Cuban Revolution would not be a neutral event. It would be a historic defeat for all those struggling against exploitation, racism, militarism, and imperial domination.

History offers powerful confirmation of this insight. Just as the existence of the Russian Revolution in 1917 ignited revolutionary movements and anti-colonial struggles across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the Cuban Revolution has functioned as an objective force against imperialism since 1959. Its very survival has demonstrated that alternatives are possible—that the rule of capital and empire is not immutable. Even when materially constrained, besieged, and isolated, Cuba’s continued existence as a sovereign, socialist project has exerted an influence far beyond its borders, shaping political imagination and sustaining hope in moments of global retreat.

But the Cuban Revolution has been more than a symbol. It has been an active, conscious agent in the ideological and political struggle against imperialism. Cuba has convened and hosted a remarkable array of conferences, symposia, and international gatherings that challenge the prevailing world economic and political order of neoliberalism. From solidarity meetings with national liberation movements, to forums of intellectuals and social movements, to initiatives linking struggles in the Global South, Cuba has consistently worked to build what might be called unity of awareness and unity of consciousness—with the ultimate aim of unity in action. This work has been grounded in a vision of internationalism not as charity or paternalism, but as shared struggle.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the impact of this orientation has been especially profound. Cuba’s steadfast resistance helped create the political and moral conditions for the resurgence of progressive governments in the early twenty-first century and the emergence of regional projects aimed at sovereignty and integration. Even when such efforts have faced setbacks, the Cuban example has remained a reference point—a reminder that dignity, social justice, and independence are not abstractions but lived possibilities, even under conditions of extreme pressure.

Globally, Cuba’s role has extended to concrete practices of solidarity that defy the logic of empire. Its commitment to international medical cooperation, education, and disaster relief has offered a radically different model of global engagement—one rooted in human need rather than profit or geopolitical domination.

Besieged by the empire, the heroic island nation has made invaluable contributions to the well-being of the world’s nations and peoples, having established an unparalleled legacy of internationalism and humanitarianism. Over 400,000 Cuban medical personnel have served in 164 countries fighting disease. It is internationalist Cuba which selflessly dispatched tens of thousands of medical personnel to dozens of countries across the world to fight disease, be it Ebola or COVID-19.

More than 2,000 Cubans gave their lives in the struggles to liberate Africa from the scourge of colonialism and the racist apartheid South African state. As Nelson Mandela emphasized: “The Cuban people hold a special place in the hearts of the people of Africa. The Cuban internationalists have made a contribution to African independence, freedom, and justice, unparalleled for its principled and selfless character.”

These practices underscore why the Cuban Revolution has been both a symbolic and a concrete anchor in the struggle for a more just world. They reveal a politics in which ethics and power are not divorced, and in which the value of a society is measured by its contribution to humanity, not by its accumulation of wealth.

This is precisely why Cuba must not fall. The crushing of the Cuban Revolution would embolden imperial aggression everywhere. It would reinforce the doctrine that no country, however principled its aspirations, can defy the dictates of global capital and survive. It would deepen cynicism and despair among oppressed peoples and movements struggling for emancipation, sending a chilling message that resistance is futile and alternatives are illusions.

Conversely, the defence of Cuba affirms a different historical logic. It insists that sovereignty matters, that small nations have rights, and that social justice is not a utopian dream but a concrete political project worth defending. To stand with Cuba is not to romanticize its challenges or deny its contradictions; it is to recognize that the broader struggle for justice, peace, and human dignity is inseparable from the survival of one of its most enduring and defiant embodiments.

In this sense, defending the Cuban Revolution remains, as Fidel insisted, an act of internationalism in its most profound form. It is a defence not only of a country, but of a principle: that humanity has the right—and the capacity—to imagine and build a world beyond imperial domination. Cuba must not fall because if it does, the loss will not be Cuba’s alone. It will belong to all those who dare to believe that another world is possible.

Trump, White Farmers and the War on Zimbabwe’s Sovereignty: Why Africans Must Reject this Neo-Colonial Push


The latest push by a small group of white farmers in Zimbabwe to drag Donald Trump and the United States government into a fight over land compensation is not just a betrayal of Zimbabwe’s revolution; it is a fresh front in an ongoing war to reverse Africa’s emancipation from colonial domination.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that a faction of white former farmers has hired a US lobbying firm with deep ties to Trump’s circle, asking the American president and his Republican allies to pressure Harare into paying billions of dollars in compensation for land seized decades ago under the country’s land reform programme.

Let there be no mistake: this is not about fairness or justice. It is about power, about imperial interference, and about rewriting history to serve the powerful few.

Zimbabwe’s land reform, begun in the late 1990s and early 2000s, was a radical and necessary corrective to colonial theft.

For nearly a century before independence, a white minority dominated the fertile agricultural heartlands of Zimbabwe, while the majority Black population was relegated to crowded reserves and marginal lands.

This was not an accident; it was the design of colonial conquest and racial capitalism. Redistributing that land to Black Zimbabweans was not only just, but it was essential for dignity, self-determination, and economic independence.

Yet now, more than two decades later, a clique of former landowners is trying to internationalise what was a sovereign African decision.

They have turned to Mercury Public Affairs, a US lobbying firm, to persuade Trump’s allies in Washington to intervene in Zimbabwe’s internal affairs.

Their argument is simple: they want billions of dollars in compensation for land that was taken from them. This push is deeply flawed on both moral and political grounds.

First, it ignores the most important fact: these farmers held land that was stolen from the African majority through colonial violence and legal imposition. The land redistribution was not a whim; it was a reckoning with centuries of theft.

To demand that an African nation pay huge sums on behalf of a tiny, historically privileged minority is to ignore the blood, sweat, and struggle of the millions displaced and oppressed by colonial rule.

Second, the compensation campaign is being framed through the lens of Western politics, particularly through the truncated narratives of US Republican rhetoric about “white farmer genocide” in southern Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked and exposed as an extremist fantasy.

Trump and his circle have repeatedly amplified similar claims about South Africa, and now they are seeking to cast Zimbabwe in the same light.

Here we see the danger of allowing Western geopolitical agendas to infiltrate African policy issues. This is not assistance; it is interference.

It is the old colonial project in new clothes: using financial leverage and political pressure to bend sovereign African choices to Western interests.

This is why any appeal to Trump, Congress, or US policymakers should be treated with contempt by all Africans committed to self-determination.

Third, the framing of compensation in this way trivialises the unresolved economic injustices inflicted on Black Zimbabweans under colonialism.

While the question of improvements on the land remains contested and the government has indeed budgeted sums to pay for infrastructure losses, the larger question of returning stolen land and the attendant wealth created from it remains a historical debt owed by colonial powers and settler elites to the African majority.

To accept the premise that a small group of white farmers should be compensated by a Black government at the behest of a racist Western administration undermines the very principles of justice that underpinned Zimbabwe’s struggle for independence.

It suggests that the rights of a minority settler class outweigh the collective rights of the indigenous majority whose land and resources were stolen. This is not justice. This is a replay of colonial logic.

Some critics, including within regional bodies such as the Southern African Development Community, have pointed to legal rulings that favour compensation claims under certain treaties. Yet this too must be contextualised.

The international legal order is replete with biases that favour powerful states and entrenched interests. SADC’s own Tribunal rulings, for example, have been subject to political pushback and controversy precisely because they sit at the intersection of law, sovereignty, and political power.

But no international legal technicality should be allowed to override the core principle that African nations have the right to determine how they manage their land reform and economic priorities without foreign interference.

Let’s also be clear: Zimbabwe’s land reform was not perfect. Implementation was sometimes flawed, and challenges remain in commercial agriculture productivity and rural development.

But these are problems of post-colonial reconstruction and empowerment, not excuses for Western governments and settler elites to return with demands that Zimbabwe bend to their will.

This moment calls for unity, not capitulation. Land reform in Zimbabwe was part of a broader African liberation project that sought to dismantle the economic foundations of colonialism across the continent from Ghana to Guinea, from Namibia to Mozambique.

To allow a return to colonial claims through US political pressure is to undermine the very gains that African revolutionaries fought for.

African nations and leaders, regional organisations, and civil society should stand in unison against this renewed assault on Zimbabwe’s sovereignty. This is not a local issue; it is a continental one.

It is a reminder that the battle for genuine decolonisation, economic, political, and psychological, is far from over.

In Zimbabwe, land belongs to those who reside on it, work it, and whose ancestors were dispossessed by colonial conquest. Seeking compensation from the Zimbabwean state under the influence of an external imperial power is not only unjust, but it is an affront to Africa’s liberation struggle.

Africa must reject these neo-colonial overtures and reaffirm that land reform was and remains a legitimate and necessary correction of historical wrongs.

Zimbabwe’s land reform is not negotiable. Its sovereignty is not for sale. And its liberation history must not be rewritten to serve outsiders. Rejecting this compensation campaign is not only a defence of Zimbabwe, but it is a defence of the African revolution itself.

Lebanon Won’t Be Gateway for US-Zionist Hegemony: Hezbollah

Lebanon Won’t Be Gateway for US-Zionist Hegemony: Hezbollah


Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem affirmed on Tuesday that no one can prevent resistance in Lebanon because it is constitutionally guaranteed, warning that Lebanon will not be a gateway for the US-Zionist hegemony.

During a memorial ceremony for Hezbollah commander Ali Salhab (Hajj Malek), Sheikh Qassem said the Resistance and its people stood with heads held high despite all ordeals they face during the 2024 Israeli war on Lebanon.

His eminence pointed to weakness of both the Zionist enemy and the US, saying that the Zionist entity stands exposed and hollow if stripped from the US weapons. He noted that even the US is weaker than ever as it amasses the hostility of nations and peoples.

Sheikh Qassem saluted the Islamic Republic of Iran on anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, praising Supreme Leader Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei for elevating the Islamic Republic to the ranks of key and influential nations.

Late Commander Salhab


Hezbollah’s Sheikh Qassem hailed late commander Ali Salhab (Hajj Malek), saying he advanced through numerous positions and responsibilities, consistently demonstrating competence, dedication, and unwavering determination.

His eminence said that the late commander took responsibility for several battlefronts and participated in special operations against the Zionist enemy such as Aramta, Ghajar, and operations to capture Israeli soldiers.

“Hajj Malek was entrusted with military command in the Bekaa region, where he played a decisive and influential role in confronting Takfiri terrorist groups.”

Salute for Iran, Pakistan


The Hezbollah S.G. congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran on the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution as he offered condolences to Pakistan over the ISIL attack on a mosque in Islamabad.

“We salute Islamic Iran and congratulate the Iranian nation on the great victory of the Islamic Revolution.”

He stressed that the Islamic Revolution “emerged as a pillar of support for the oppressed, revitalizing resistance against the US and raising the banner of Palestine liberation.”

“Imam Khamenei has elevated the Islamic Republic to the ranks of key and influential nations, built upon a foundation of faith and scientific advancement.”

“I offer condolences to the Pakistani nation for the martyrs of the heinous crime perpetrated by ISIL (Daesh) at the Khadija Al-Kubra Mosque in Islamabad.”

Resistance Constitutionally Guaranteed in Lebanon


Shifting into Lebanese affairs, Sheikh Qassem said the Resistance in Lebanon fights in defense of both Lebanon and Palestine as the two neighbors have one enemy.

His eminence called on the Lebanese State to embrace Resistance in a bid to build the future.

“Building the future requires the Lebanese State to embrace the resistance as a vital support, grounded in its experience, faith, and unwavering will.”

In this context, Sheikh Qassem warned that no one in Lebanon can prevent resistance as it is constitutionally guaranteed.

“There was a great man in Lebanon named Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah who was martyred to preserve the strength and honor of the homeland.”

Resistance National Asset


The Hezbollah leader, meanwhile, noted that the region is being reshaped to serve the US-Zionist hegemony, stressing that Lebanon “won’t be a gateway for this dominance.”

He said that both the US and the Zionist entity are weaker than ever.

“Despite all its military capabilities and experience, ‘Israel’ has failed to achieve its objectives in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen,” Sheikh Qassem addressed the memorial service in Brital.

“’Israel’ is weaker than ever; stripped of the US weapons, it stands exposed and hollow. It is being run by the American administration and is losing its presence and self-governance.”

“Even the US is weaker than ever, amassing the hostility of nations and peoples while its so-called model erodes under mounting internal crises.”

He affirmed that the Resistance constitutes a vital national asset that must be preserved, vowing that Hezbollah will remain committed to denying the enemy “any sense of borders, stability, or security.”

Sheikh Qassem stressed, meanwhile, that the Resistance stood with its head held high following the 2024 Israeli war, “despite the pager massacre, the targeting of the Resistance’s capabilities of power and control and the martyrdom of leaders Sayyed Nasrallah and Sayyed Safieddine.”

He announced that Hezbollah has decided to offer housing for three months to those whose homes were destroyed during the 2024 war, noting however, that providing shelter is the Lebanese State’s responsibility.

Sheikh Qassem also called for working to ensure the success of the upcoming parliamentary elections, underlining importance of holding the vote on schedule.

Abu Obeida: Death, Complete Eradication Await Traitors in Gaza

Abu Obeida: Death, Complete Eradication Await Traitors in Gaza


The Zionist enemy’s collaborators in Gaza will face their death and inevitable elimination at the hands of the Palestinian people’s justice, of which the Israeli occupation will not be able to rescue them, warned Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing.

In a statement released on Monday, Abu Obeida strongly condemned the collaborator’s actions as service to the Zionist enemy and its agendas. “What these infiltrating collaborators are doing to our people and our honorable resistance fighters reflects full alignment with the occupation and direct execution of its schemes. Their role is nothing more than a function of its security apparatus.”

According to Abu Obeida, collaborators act with impunity under Zionist military protection, particularly in areas occupied by its forces.

“These cowards only feign strength under the protection of the Zionist army and its tanks. Their betrayal, targeting civilians and attempting to overpower resistance fighters weakened by siege and starvation, is not valor, but a desperate effort to prove themselves.”

Abu Obeida warned of the inevitable fate awaiting these collaborators, threatening, “A dark fate awaits the traitors, those tracking our heroes and serving as tools of the occupation. Their end is near: death and complete eradication. The enemy will not shield them from the justice of our people, and they will find no grave in our land to accept their filthy remains.”

Salute to heroic Rafah fighters


He concluded with a tribute to the steadfast resistance fighters besieged in Rafah, highlighting their unshakable stance and historic bravery.

“All honor to our heroic fighters trapped and surrounded in the Rafah corridor, those who rejected humiliation and submission, and chose martyrdom over surrender. Their legacy will be taught to generations to come, and their names will be inscribed in the eternal pages of dignity and resistance.”

Hamas previously announced that it had made extensive efforts through various political leaders and mediators, including full engagement with the US administration as one of the guarantors of the agreement, to resolve the issue of the trapped fighters and ensure their safe return home. However, the Zionist regime undermined all these efforts.

It had submitted specific proposals and mechanisms to resolve the fighters’ situation, yet the regime chose the path of violence, killings, and detention, obstructing the mediators’ work aimed at alleviating the suffering of the Resistance’s heroic fighters.

Thereby, Hamas held the occupation fully responsible for the fate of the fighters and called on mediators to take urgent action to pressure the entity to allow their safe return. Hamas’ fighters are a “unique symbol of sacrifice, resilience, heroism, and a representation of the dignity and freedom of the Palestinian people,” the statement concluded.
