CPMK National Chairperson Mwaivu Kaluka today delivered a blistering address marking African Liberation Day, exposing the “62-year betrayal” of neocolonial regimes and demanding continent-wide socialist revolution.
“The AU’s banquet halls reek of imperialist compromise,” Kaluka told a packed press briefing at Nairobi’s Revolutionary Memorial Grounds.
“True liberation demands we resurrect the armed spirit of Kimathi and Lumumba!
Key crucial insights were unveiled during the address, regarding the historical and contemporary struggles for African liberation.
The speech highlighted the often-overlooked communist roots of Pan-Africanism, linking key figures like Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois to movements that were criticized as lacking revolutionary depth.
It emphasized how Lenin’s 1920 Comintern theses equipped African revolutionaries with vital frameworks of scientific socialism, all while condemning figures like George Padmore for downplaying this influence.
Furthermore, the stark contrast between Kwame Nkrumah and Julius Nyerere was drawn, suggesting that “gradualist compromises” have led to the emergence of today’s “puppet regimes,” with the 1958 funding of Patrice Lumumba’s travel by PAFMECA cited as an example of authentic proletarian solidarity.
The address framed neocolonialism as a “three-headed beast,” identifying key enemies such as “IMF debt colonialism,” “comprador bourgeoisie traitors,” and “feudalist remnants,” specifically calling out current African Union leaders.
Finally, the recent uprisings in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger were celebrated as “anti-imperialist ruptures,” with a warning issued against “false prophets” who propose capitalist solutions as the way forward.
This discourse highlights a revived call for a reimagined revolution in Africa that confronts its historical ties to communism.

The Five-Point Revolutionary Program
Kaluka commanded the cadres to actively smash neocolonial state apparatuses, build worker-peasant soviets for grassroots governance, arm the People’s Revolutionary Militia for self-defense, expropriate imperialist assets to reclaim resources, and federate the liberated territories under the Socialist African Union to strengthen unity across the continent.
Internationalist Fire
The speech crescendoed with fiery tributes to Cuba “30,000 martyrs prove internationalism isn’t charity” to Palestine, branding Zionism as “imperialism’s spear,” and to the DPRK’s Juche self-reliance model, before Kaluka dramatically unveiled a blazing red banner proclaiming “Fidel Castro Lives – Forward to African Socialist Federation!” as revolutionary crowds roared the Swahili battle cry “Uhuru sio bure!” (Freedom isn’t free), shaking the foundations of the neocolonial order.
With the Sahel ablaze and IMF riots spreading, Kaluka’s speech positions CPMK as the vanguard of what analysts call “Africa’s Second Liberation Wave.”
