The Pan-African Socialist Alliance stands in solidarity with the Kenyan people as they resist patriarchal violence in the form of femicide.

 

Femicide is the result of Patriarchal violence and can never be resolved in oppressive systems such as the one we currently live in here in Kenya, Capitalism.

 

Capitalism, like other hierarchical systems, weaponizes patriarchy to oppress people on the basis of gender.

 

Femicide, the murder of women by men, is only one expression of Patriarchal violence.

 

Patriarchy uses violence to control oppressed genders' labour, sexuality and reproduction. The violence can either be fast, as in the outright murder of 97 women in 90 days here in Kenya, or slow as in the case of state policies that systematically deny women access to land, food and freedom. The Kenyan government, in total disregard to its constitutional obligation, has meanwhile proved unwilling and unable to protect the women of Kenya from femicide, despite the ever-growing appeals by the people of Kenya.

 

It is for this reason that the Pan-African Socialist Alliance joins the people of Kenya in reiterating the call "Ruto Must Go!"

 

Clearly, the Kenyan neo-colonial state is patriarchal; it carries forth a slow genocidal campaign against the working class; those who own nothing but their labour.

 

Femicide is a form of this genocide. Working women in this neo-colonial state suffer triple exploitation; that of their labour as workers, that of their country's land and resources by imperialist states and corporations and that of their gender by the instruments of patriarchy.

 

It is also important to note that whereas all women  experience patriarchal violence, ruling class women and men don't experience class oppression and  benefit from the neo-colonial capitalist state.

 

Working class women can only be free when liberation from the neo-colonial patriarchal state is achieved.  No reforms can free working women from their national/class/gender oppression.

 

With this, we insist that working women must be organized. They must organize for power. They must organize inside revolutionary parties and other workers' organizations.

 

These are the organizations that can and will vanguard the fight against patriarchal violence in all its forms, including femicide and the structural genocide perpetuated by neo-colonial capitalism.

 

Down with patriarchy, violence and oppression!

All for the total liberation of women and all oppressed people!

Statement by Comrade Booker Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya The Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya unequivocally condemns the reactionary and anti-people actions of the newly installed jihadist regime in Syria, a government birthed in Washington, Tel Aviv, and NATO headquarters, then imposed upon the Syrian people under the guise of democracy. This so-called new dawn is nothing more than a dark night of intensified imperialist plunder, a dictatorship wrapped in the deceptive rhetoric of Western liberalism, and a betrayal of Syria’s national sovereignty.  [ ... ]

Defend Congo! Stop Imperialist Plunder and Rwanda-Uganda Destabilisation
31 Jan 2025 14:20

By Booker Omole, General Secretary, Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya Paul Kagame and his minions continue to justify the existence of M23 by claiming that the Banyamulenge or Banyarwanda are Congolese and have the right to defend their land in Goma. While it may be true that there is a Tutsi minority in Congo, it is equally true that Rwanda’s Hutus, fleeing from Kagame’s killer squads, have sought refuge in Eastern Congo. Given this, why would Kagame support the Tutsi minority community in the DRC under the guise of tribal solidarity without engaging in dialogue with his counterpart, P [ ... ]

Solidarity Statement with the Cuban Revolution January 15, 2025  From the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya The Communist Party Marxist (CPM) Kenya salutes the heroic Cuban people and their enduring revolution on the occasion of the United States’ decision to finally remove Cuba from the list of so-called “State Sponsors of Terrorism.” While this decision is long overdue, it cannot erase decades of suffering, injustice, and sabotage inflicted on Cuba by the imperialist aggression of the U.S. Cuba was never meant to be on this list.
