VENEZUELA 🇻🇪 Today, exactly 60 days since President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Celia Flores were kidnapped by US forces, thousands gathered in the streets of Caracas to demand their release and defend the Bolivarian Revolution.
KENYAN COMMUNIST LEADER RELEASED ON BAIL AFTER TORTURE IN DETENTION
After eight gruelling days in custody, Booker Ngesa Omole, General Secretary of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, is finally out on bail.
He was released alongside seven of his comrades after the court set a combined bail of 1.4 million Kenyan shillings.
What happened over those eight days should concern anyone who believes in basic rights and the rule of law. His supporters say he was abducted rather than lawfully arrested. He was allegedly beaten, injured and mistreated while in police custody before being presented in court.
They are out. But their case is far from over. Ahmed Kaballo brings us the story from outside Mavoko Law Courts on the outskirts of Nairobi.

Gen Sec Booker Omole turns the cell into a classroom and the prison yard into a school of revolution, delivering Marxism 101 to fellow inmates. The state tried to cage a communist. Instead it educated a collective. Bars cannot chain ideas. Walls cannot silence truth.
From prison, Booker Omole sends solidarity to the people of Iran and salutes all resisting United States imperialism. Empires fall. Peoples rise. Forward the struggle.
The Epstein US-Israel attacked Iran because 1) Iran was replenishing its arsenal at a faster rate than they were and 2) time is almost up on the domestic legitimacy of US-Israel formation. They moved with both panic and hubris.
I elaborate on this point in talk below:
It is wild that European countries want to join a war that was started illegally by and for a man who is wanted for war crimes and genocide by their *own* institutions.
If you believe now is the time to talk about the internal issues within the Islamic republic, then you have sided with Zionism and US Imperalism. And if you have spent the last few months doing so, you prepared the intellectual ground for today’s attacks.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Both US & Zionist regime are currently bombing Iran. I have heard over 10 explosions so far, including in the heart of the city's most densely populated area of Tehran, near Tehran University, as well as strategic sites in the South.
This is a blatant act of aggression against Iran’s sovereignty, perpetrated by the worst of humanity. Iran, alongside the Resistance forces, will fight these pedophile genociders to defend humanity itself.
In this interview with Florian Bobin & Amadou Kébé, @MomodouTaal connects the Palestinian struggle to a longer history of Black, African & anti-imperial resistance. For him, the path is clear: “the future is Pan-Africanism & transnational solidarity.”
