Statement by the Communist Party of Kenya (C.P.K) – 24 January 2019
The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) condemns in the strongest terms the recent attempts by the diabolic United States of America (USA) Government led by Donald Trump to ‘appoint’ a president for Venezuela. These recent moves by the USA not only amount to illegal interference that is contrary to international law and practice, but is also a declaration of war by the USA upon the sovereign Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
What we are witnessing is an attempt by the Imperialist USA to re-create what it used to do in Latin America in the last century, that is, to invade the countries and overthrow democratically elected Governments and replace them with puppet dictators appointed from Washington.
When we see the USA Government threatening to resist the expulsion of their diplomats by a sovereign Country, then the whole world, not just the progressive citizens of the world, must stand up against such violation of international law. The World cannot sit and remain silent and watch while the Hitler of the 21st Century is being born to plunge humanity into a Third World War that may destroy our planet!
The CPK firmly supports the revolutionary masses of Venezuela, and the Venezuelan Government under the leadership of President Nicholas Maduro. The CPK condemns the attempts by the USA, through their puppet Juan Guaido to subvert the popular will of the Venezuelan people and to take Venezuela back to US domination and bondage.
The CPK calls on the Kenyan Government under the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta to come out and condemn the criminal acts by the regime of Donald Trump, and to express support to the People, Government and President of Venezuela. The CPK further calls upon the African Union, to strongly condemn this violation of international law by the USA. We cannot forget that some of Africa’s best political leaders, including Kwame Nkurmah, Patrice Lumumba, Modibo Keita, Samora Machel, Thomas Sankara, Felix Moumie, Muamar Gaddafi and others were overthrown/assassinated directly or at the behest of the Colonialist/Imperialist countries. Indeed, the actions of the USA in Venezuela are a direct threat to peace and democracy in Africa and the World in general.
The World must act to support the right of the people of Venezuela to national sovereignty and self – determination.
The Government of Venezuela must act firmly and with speed against the traitors of Venezuela who are puppets of the USA, and make them answerable to their heinous and treasonable behaviour.
Long Live the Sovereignty of Venezuela!
Long Live the Spirit of Hugo Chavez!
Away with the Traitors of Venezuela!
Down with USA Imperialism Down!
