In the wake of Comrade Zarina Patel's passing, we mourn the loss of a fearless advocate, a tireless activist, and a true revolutionary spirit. Zarina's legacy echoes through the annals of Kenyan history, as she dedicated her life to fighting injustice, championing human rights, and preserving the environment.

As a prominent figure in the former Social Democratic Party (Marxist-Leninist), now the Communist Party of Kenya, Zarina was a former member of the central committee and also served as the party’s national treasurer until her resignation. Her commitment to Marxist-Leninist ideals never wavered. Alongside her partner, Zahid Rajan, she stood on the front lines of the struggle for social justice, democracy, and equality.

Zarina's contributions to Kenyan society are immeasurable. From her groundbreaking work in physiotherapy to her prolific writings on South Asian history, she illuminated the stories of nationalist leaders and journalists, ensuring their legacies would endure for generations to come.

Her courageous efforts to save Jeevanjee Gardens from land grabbers in 1991 epitomize her unwavering dedication to the public good. Zarina's leadership in the Asian African Heritage Trust, her role in the Ufungamano initiative for Constitutional Change, and her appointment to the Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation Commission taskforce underscore her commitment to building a more just and equitable society.

As the managing editor of AwaaZ magazine, Zarina's voice resonated far and wide, amplifying the struggles of marginalized communities and shining a light on the urgent issues of our time. Together with Zahid Rajan, she co-founded the SAMOSA Festival, providing a platform for dialogue, activism, and cultural exchange.

In her son Raahat, Zarina leaves behind a legacy of courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the cause of liberation. Though she may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the hearts of all those who continue the fight for a better world.

Comrade Zarina Patel, rest in power. Your gallant spirit will forever inspire us to keep the flame of revolution burning bright.

An Open Letter to the Broad Kenyan Left on Imperialist Funding and Revolutionary...
17 Jul 2026 15:20

By Booker Omole General Secretary   Comrades,   The question before us is not whether money can be used for revolutionary work. The question is whether those who claim to wield imperialist resources possess the revolutionary consciousness, ideological firmness and moral authority to do so without themselves becoming instruments of imperialism.   Many within the broad Kenyan Left argue that imperialist funding can be tactically utilised for progressive or revolutionary purposes. Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that such a proposition is possible. The burden of proof then fall [ ... ]

African Revolutionary Culture and the National Democratic Revolution By Booker Omole, Gloria Gakuru, and Mwaivu Kaluka July 2026   Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”Bertolt Brecht   Art is never neutral.   Every work of art emerges from definite material conditions, develops within definite social relations, reflects definite class interests, and participates, consciously or unconsciously, in the ideological struggle between opposing social forces. Under class society there is no art above classes. Every painting, song, film, poem, s [ ... ]

  The Communist Party Marxist Kenya expresses its unwavering solidarity with comrades Lidia and Diego of the Supernova editorial collective in France, who are facing political persecution for their principled defence of the Palestinian national liberation struggle and their steadfast commitment to Marxism Leninism.   The raid on their home in the early hours of 16 June, the seizure of books, computers, political literature and trade union materials, the search of the Ghassan Kanafani Social Center, and the prolonged ideological interrogation to which they were subjected reveal a deeply di [ ... ]
