Statement by the Central Organizing Committee (COC) of the Communist Party of Kenya
On this solemn occasion, we extend our deepest condolences to the comrades in arms of Hezbollah, the Palestinian people, and the wider Resistance Axis for the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, who has been cowardly assassinated by the Zionist entity, Israel. His death, though a great loss to the struggle, is yet another testament to the failure of the Zionist regime's policy of eliminating leaders of the resistance. Just as the colonial powers failed to suppress the liberation movements in places like our country Kenya, so too shall Israel fail. Their actions only serve to ignite the spirit of the oppressed masses and fuel the resistance with renewed vigour.
The sacrifices of the Resistance Axis, led by the brave men and women fighting for the liberation of Palestine, are deeply appreciated. Their steadfastness in the face of overwhelming adversity is a beacon of hope for all who struggle for justice and self-determination. We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, whose glorious resistance continues to inspire oppressed peoples worldwide who are fighting a fight of life and death against US imperialism. The Resistance Axis, bolstered by the sacrifices of its martyrs, grows stronger every day, reawakening the spirit of Mau Mau among the Kenyan people. The Palestinian people must never doubt the permanent and unconditional solidarity of the Kenyan masses. Indeed, our struggles are interconnected at the hip. The enemy is US imperialism.
We also take this opportunity to praise the heroic people and government of Iran, who have consistently stood on the right side of history by providing unwavering support to the Resistance Axis. Their solidarity with the oppressed, in defiance of imperialist forces, demonstrates their commitment to justice and resistance against the forces of tyranny.
As we honour the legacy of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, we repudiate the Zionist entity's failed policy of targeting resistance leaders. This strategy has not only failed but has become the greatest recruiter to the resistance. The Zionist regime's genocidal actions have only fortified the resolve of the people, swelling the ranks of Hezbollah and the broader movement with some of the finest sons and daughters of the oppressed masses. History shows that ideological, popular movements cannot be crushed by brute force or assassination, and Hezbollah is no mere collection of mercenaries; it is the vanguard of a people’s struggle against settler colonialism and oppression.
In the days to come, we foresee the beginning of the end for the Zionist entity and its imperialist backers. As US imperialism deepens its involvement in Gaza, it digs its own grave. The tipping point of a global confrontation approaches, and this war, should it come, will transform into an anti-imperialist struggle that will decimate the forces of US imperialism and its Zionist collaborator. The cost to humanity may be great, but it is the inevitable consequence of the contradictions inherent in the imperialist system, which is doomed to be consumed by the very forces it has unleashed upon the world.
In closing, we reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with Hezbollah, the Palestinian people, and all those who resist imperialism and Zionism. The martyrdom of leaders such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah strengthens, rather than weakens, the resolve of the oppressed people. The Zionist entity will be broken into atoms, and the liberation of Palestine will become a reality. The future belongs to the oppressed, not the oppressors.
Victory to the resistance!
Death to imperialism!
Death to Zionism!
In solidarity
