Statement on Zionist Plans to Create a Mini-State in Kenya and the Lessons from History
By Booker Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, 20 Feb

Comrades, workers, peasants, and all oppressed people of Kenya
The struggle against Zionist expansion in Kenya is inseparable from the global struggle of the oppressed against imperialism.

We face a new front of imperialist and Zionist aggression on our soil. History, which the imperialists and their local collaborators would have us forget, is repeating itself. Once, in the year 1903, the British colonialists sought to manipulate a desperate Jewish population by offering them land in what was then the Uasin Gishu Plateau of Kenya. This was presented as a solution to the horrors of the Kishinev Pogrom and the waves of persecution that had left hundreds of Jews dead and thousands homeless. The British framed this as a humanitarian offer, yet it was, in reality, a calculated move to extend their colonial control, to create new settlements that would serve imperial interests, and to further entrench the logic of land dispossession. That scheme, known as the Uganda Scheme, though it bore the name of Uganda, was entirely within Kenyan territory. It failed not because of human kindness or fairness but because of the contradictions within imperialism, the vigilance of European settlers, and the enduring strength of indigenous peoples.

The so-called Uganda Scheme of 1903 and 1905 offers us a warning. The land was far from empty. It was the ancestral grazing ground of the Maasai and Nandi peoples. They had built their lives and societies upon it, defended it through struggle, and had deep spiritual and cultural ties to their territory. Yet the British, in their arrogance, sought to erase the presence of these communities from the map of consideration. They treated the land as a commodity to be offered to foreign settlers under the guise of charity. When the Zionist commission arrived in 1905 to survey the land, it found the plateau isolated and hostile according to their European standards. They encountered dangerous wildlife, unfamiliar climate, and above all, people who were already defending their homes. The British attempt to create a settlement in Kenya was not merely impractical; it was predicated upon the erasure of the Kenyan people and the assumption that European and foreign interests trumped the sovereignty of African communities.

Today, nearly a century and a quarter later, a similar design emerges in Nakuru. Plans are underway to lease land to Israel to create a settlement financed by Standard Bank of South Africa. This initiative, wrapped in the language of development and investment, is in fact an attempt to replicate the same logic that drove the Uganda Scheme. It seeks to establish foreign control over Kenyan land, displace the working masses, and set a precedent for further encroachments. This is not about trade, agriculture, or humanitarianism. It is about the strategic implantation of Zionist influence within African soil. It is about testing the capacity of imperialist and settler powers to advance their territorial designs under the guise of legality, finance, and media manipulation. It is about normalising the presence of Zionist settlements in non-Palestinian territory as preparation for larger ambitions.

Comrades, we must recognise the continuity of imperialist strategy. The same forces that orchestrated the Uganda Scheme are today aligned with Israel, global finance, and local comprador elites to create a foothold in Nakuru. Just as the British manipulated the Zionist movement in 1903, so too are contemporary imperialists exploiting legal and economic mechanisms to achieve control over land that does not belong to them. The Nakuru project is a repetition of history in modern form. We must examine the patterns carefully to arm the masses with revolutionary clarity.

The lessons from history are clear. Firstly, land is not a commodity to be leased or sold by imperialists. Land is the life of the people. The Maasai and Nandi in 1905 defended their territory against British intrusion. They understood, as must we, that the occupation of land is the occupation of life itself. They had already endured centuries of dispossession, yet they stood firm. In Nakuru, as in Uasin Gishu, the Kenyan masses must understand that foreign settlements are an assault on our sovereignty and our future. They are the first step in the creation of a Palestinian scenario here in Kenya. Step by step, land is leased, small settlements appear, infrastructure follows, and local communities are marginalised, displaced, and silenced.

Secondly, the Nakuru plan must be seen in connection with the Palestinian struggle today. The creation of Israel in Palestine in 1948 was built upon the same logic of territorial appropriation, settler expansion, and displacement of indigenous populations. Millions of Palestinians were expelled, villages destroyed, and their lives placed under foreign rule. The Nakuru project mirrors this trajectory. It is not a matter of local development. It is a matter of imperialist experimentation, a testing ground for strategies of dispossession that have already caused immense suffering in Palestine. We see the same tactics: media lies, framing occupation as development, and using finance and foreign alliances to legitimize land seizure. The Nakuru settlement is part of a global strategy to weaken the sovereignty of nations and to make the world safe for Zionist territorial ambitions.

Thirdly, the role of finance and banks cannot be underestimated. Standard Bank of South Africa, through its Kenyan branch, is not merely funding agriculture. It is underwriting foreign control over Kenyan land. This is the modern face of imperialism. Just as the British colonial office in 1903 used land offers and infrastructure to manipulate populations, contemporary banks are instruments of economic domination. Loans, leases, and legal contracts are weaponised to secure territories for foreign powers. The working masses must see through the language of investment and development to the real intent: the creation of enclaves that serve foreign interests at the expense of Kenyan sovereignty.

Fourthly, local and international complicity is central. Pro-human rights groups have already expressed anger, yet these warnings alone are insufficient. True vigilance requires mass mobilisation, revolutionary organisation, and a willingness to confront imperialist designs directly. The history of Nakuru and Uasin Gishu teaches us that passive observation allows encroachment to proceed. The resistance of the Maasai and Nandi, the opposition of settlers in the White Highlands, and the eventual rejection of the Uganda Scheme all depended upon active struggle and political clarity.

Comrades, we must understand that Zionism, whether in Palestine or Kenya, is a settler-colonial project. It is not humanitarian. It is not a benign community. It is a political force designed to expand territorial control, exploit indigenous populations, and consolidate imperialist power. The Nakuru settlement is merely the first chapter in a story that, if unchecked, could escalate into widespread dispossession. We have seen this pattern in Palestine. We have seen it historically in Africa and other colonised regions. We will not allow it to be repeated here.

Let the Kenyan masses draw lessons from the Palestinian struggle. The resistance of the Palestinians is heroic and global. They fight not only for land but for the right to exist as a people under their own sovereignty. In Nakuru, the Kenyan people must recognise that foreign settlements are an attack on our right to exist as a sovereign nation. They are an attempt to fragment our communities, disrupt our agriculture, and entrench foreign influence under the guise of development. Imperialism moves in cycles, and Nakuru is one more battlefield in this global struggle.

We call on the workers and peasants of Kenya to mobilise. We call on civil society organisations, human rights activists, and revolutionary cadres to recognise the Nakuru project as an imperialist experiment. Let no one be deceived by the language of finance, legality, or investment. Let no one be complicit in the dispossession of Kenyan land for the benefit of foreign powers. We must expose the Zionist and imperialist designs in our schools, in our communities, in the media, and in our political organisations.

Let the lessons of 1903 and 1905 guide us. The land belongs to those who till it, those who defend it, and those who live upon it. Foreign powers have no right to lease, buy, or settle on Kenyan soil. The Nakuru project is not a neutral investment. It is an assault on the Kenyan people, an extension of the same imperialist strategies that created Israel, and a warning of what is to come if we do not act.

The struggle against Zionist expansion in Kenya is inseparable from the global struggle of the oppressed against imperialism. It is inseparable from the fight for Palestine. Just as the Palestinian people resist the theft of their land and the destruction of their communities, so too must the Kenyan people resist the encroachment of foreign settlements. Solidarity with Palestine is inseparable from defence of Kenyan sovereignty. The Nakuru settlement is not only a local issue. It is a question of international anti-imperialist struggle.

Comrades, the Nakuru project must be stopped. It must be exposed. It must be opposed. The land belongs to the Kenyan people. The history of the Uganda Scheme teaches us that foreign powers will always test our vigilance. The story of Palestine teaches us that unchecked settlements bring violence, displacement, and destruction. The future of our nation depends on the clarity, courage, and organisation of the working class, the peasants, and all revolutionary forces.

Let the masses be clear. Imperialism, Zionism, and foreign finance are united in their intent to seize Kenyan land. They will not stop at Nakuru. They will seek to extend their influence wherever possible. Our duty is to recognise the threat, to mobilise the people, and to ensure that Kenyan soil remains under Kenyan control. The Nakuru settlement is the first warning. Let it be the last success they ever hope for.

From the masses to the masses, from the land to the people, let the revolutionary spirit guide us. The fight for Nakuru is a fight for Kenya. The fight for Kenya is part of the global struggle for justice. We will not yield. We will not negotiate our sovereignty. We will resist every attempt to replicate the Palestinian tragedy on our own soil.

Ethiopia's secret RSF camp: A dangerous new phase in Sudan's war

A massive, well-fortified training facility in Ethiopia near Sudan's border has been revealed to host fighters from Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The camp in the remote Benishangul-Gumuz region, capable of housing up to 10,000 fighters, represents the first direct evidence of Ethiopian involvement in the conflict.
Eight sources, including a senior Ethiopian government official, confirmed that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) helped fund its construction and provided military trainers.

Chad shuts border with Sudan in bid to stop conflict spreading

Fighting broke out over the weekend in the border town of al-Tina, where Chadian troops were caught up in violence involving Sudanese armed groups.

Officials told the Reuters news agency that five soldiers and three civilians were killed, and at least 12 others wounded.

Sudan's army has additionally accused Chad of supporting the RSF and allowing military supplies to transit through its territory - allegations the Chadian government has previously denied.

Exclusive: US aims to bring in 4,500 white South Africans per month as refugees, document says

The new target, contained in a previously unreported document from the U.S. State Department dated January 27, signals a push to ramp up admissions from South Africa, while refugee applications from other areas have been severely curtailed.

Trump has said the U.S. would only admit 7,500 total refugees from around the world in fiscal year 2026, while a much higher cap of 40,000 to 60,000 was discussed internally last year. Only 2,000 white South Africans had entered the U.S. as refugees as of January 31 under a program launched in May 2025, although the pace has picked up in recent months.

Because of Trump's sweeping refugee ban issued in January 2025, South Africans must be admitted as exceptions on a case-by-case basis by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Prior to the pause on admissions, South African entries had been ramping up, with about 1,500 admitted in December and January, compared with about 500 in the previous six-and-a-half months, according to U.S. State Department figures.

U.S. Considers Withholding H.I.V. Aid Unless Zambia Expands Minerals Access

The State Department is considering withholding lifesaving assistance to people with H.I.V. in Zambia as a negotiating tactic to force the government of the southern African country to sign a deal giving the United States more access to its critical minerals.

OCS Peter Mugambi Summoned to Court as Police Fabrication Unravels in the Booker Omole Case
From the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya

The Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya addresses all Party members, all progressive forces in Kenya, and the international working class movement on the unfolding political persecution of our General Secretary, Booker Ngesa Omole.

The initial facts of the case in the pre trial proceedings of Booker Omole vs Republic are now emerging with clarity. What was presented to the public as a criminal case is increasingly being exposed as a politically motivated fabrication directed against the leadership of the revolutionary movement in Kenya.

The Registrar of the Firearms Bureau has now submitted an updated report confirming that General Secretary Booker Omole is a lawful firearm holder. This official report directly disproves the allegations previously advanced by OCS Peter Mugambi, who had claimed that the General Secretary was in illegal possession of a firearm. Faced with this evidence, the prosecution has already moved to amend the charge sheet and replace the original accusation with a new allegation of misuse of a firearm.

This retreat by the prosecution demonstrates that the foundation of the case that was used to arrest, detain and imprison the General Secretary was false.

During the same pre trial proceedings, the lead police witness, Mr Andrew Amoth, filed an affidavit and took an oath before the court. In his sworn statement he narrated how he was coerced and threatened by the police to frame the General Secretary. In his testimony he specifically named OCS Peter Mugambi and the investigating officer Mr Munene as the officers who directed the fabrication of the allegations.

According to the sworn testimony of Mr Amoth, the OCS demanded that he cooperate with the police without any search warrant or lawful order. He was accused of renting a house to what the police falsely described as an extremist organisation allegedly linked to foreign governments and criminal networks. He was told that he must either assist the police in the framing of the General Secretary or face arrest and the destruction of his business.

He was further threatened that if he did not cooperate he would suffer severe legal and economic consequences. Under these threats he was pressured to assist in the construction of the case against the General Secretary.

The sitting magistrate, Hon. M. Nanzushi (S.P.M.) at the Mavoko Law Courts, has now summoned OCS Peter Mugambi to appear before the court. Both Mugambi and the investigating officer Mr Munene have been ordered to attend the next pre trial session on 7 April. They will be required to explain why the personal effects of the General Secretary continue to be held by the police in defiance of court orders, and the investigating officer will be cross examined regarding the circumstances under which the charges were brought.

This development represents an important moment in the struggle to expose the political persecution that has been directed against the leadership of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya.

The case against Booker Ngesa Omole, the General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, began with his abduction without warrant, his torture in police custody, and his imprisonment on fabricated allegations. What is now being revealed in open court confirms what the Party and the progressive movement have maintained from the beginning: this case was constructed as part of a broader campaign of intimidation against the revolutionary movement.

The Central Organizing Committee therefore announces the launch of the #JusticeForBookerOmole campaign.
Beginning 16 March 2026 at 8am, this campaign will run for the entire week. Its purpose is to raise national and international awareness of the case and to mobilise financial support for the legal defence of the General Secretary

Let the truth be known.

Let the fabrication be exposed.

Let justice prevail.

We urge all comrades and supporters to share the information, participate in the campaign, and support the legal defence effort.
Justice for Booker Omole is justice for the working class.

Benin’s Wadagni wins presidential election with landslide 94% of votes

Benin’s Minister of Finance Romuald Wadagni has secured a landslide victory in the country’s presidential election with more than 94 percent of the votes, according to provisional results.

Wadagni is the chosen successor of Benin’s President Patrice Talon and was backed by the country’s governing coalition.

Benin’s governing coalition holds every parliamentary seat after the Democrats failed to win 20 percent of the vote in the January 2026 elections, the threshold needed to enter the National Assembly. The Democrats won about 16 percent.

Zimbabwe's iconic stone birds were taken by colonialists. Finally, they're all back home

The grey, soapstone carving was repatriated from neighbouring South Africa - it wound up there having been ripped from its column, then sold to British imperialist Cecil Rhodes.

On Tuesday, South Africa repatriated the bird, along with eight sets of human remains, previously exhumed in Zimbabwe by colonial researchers and donated to a South African museum.

There's a jihadi Tet Offensive going down in Mali. JNIM and their Tuareg allies are overrunning towns and cities (Sevare, Kidal, Gao) in different parts of the country. Also Kati which is outside Bamako and apparently inside Bamako. There's also talk that that defense minister's house was attacked.

>Wagner are extremly incompetent and failing to beat the Jihadis, the Jihadis were helped by Ukraine for a bit, but most of their support is local, they're winning because Mali and Wagner is corrupt.
wagner (actually its called africa corps now) is mostly light infantry, the problem isnt that they're incompetent or corrupt (although they likely are, given they're mercenaries fucks), the problem is they dont have much heavy equipment or air support and arent many (and the most skilled guys prolly were kept in russia for the war). They're a small support force mostly there to help with shit like training or radio jamming
And I suspect france is helping the jihadist too. Just after france was kicked out mali had managed to retake kidal, a feat french military never helped with, and now they're becoming stronger and striking back and there were report of ukrainians helping them out, so its safe to assume the west empire is backing them as retaliation for the sahel states giving them the boot and nationalizing shit.

>the end of this war is probably a de facto independant islamic state in Northern Mali
thats the situation since more than a decade at this point

Suriyak got some intel from Wagner: sadly the Malian gouv strategy seems to be like Assadist Syria, with "repositioning and defense" to protect the main centers of power and leaving the rest of the country to rebels
