"Western culture was, at its core, individualistic and democratic and liberty-minded and tolerant and progressive and rational and scientific. Never mind that pre-modern Europe was none of these things, and that until the past century democracy was the exception in Europe, something that few stalwarts of Western thought had anything good to say about. The idea that tolerance was constitutive of something called Western culture would have surprised Edward Burnett Tylor, who, as a Quaker, had been barred from attending England’s great universities. To be blunt: if Western culture were real, we wouldn’t spend so much time talking it up."

33 years ago today, April 10, 1993,
Chris Hani—leader of the ANC’s armed wing, veteran of the Zimbabwe liberation struggle, and SACP firebrand—was assassinated just as South Africa neared its transition. A frontline fighter whose radical vision never wavered.

THE UPC: CAMEROON'S TRAGIC INDEPENDENCE HEROES

On 10 April 1948, Cameroonian workers and trade union organisers came together at the Chez Sierra bar in Bassa to establish the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC), a movement dedicated to securing full independence.

From the beginning, its members were deeply committed to both national liberation and the broader goal of pan-African unity. The UPC waged a determined struggle for Cameroon’s freedom and unity, as well as that of the wider continent, but the cost of that fight was immense.

In 1955, after violent repression of protests triggered an anti-colonial uprising, the UPC was outlawed. This moment is often seen as the start of the Cameroon War. By 1960, President Ahmadou Ahidjo, backed by France, was overseeing a brutal campaign targeting not only the UPC but also the Bamiléké people, among the movement’s strongest supporters. Even under severe repression, the UPC continued to organise nationwide, advocating unity across linguistic and regional lines.

Since independence in 1960 and the suppression of the UPC, political power has remained concentrated, with only two leaders ruling the country: Ahmadou Ahidjo and Paul Biya.

The UPC also cultivated close relationships with key figures in the pan-African movement, including Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, and Ahmed Ben Bella. Although their vision of a fully united and liberated Africa remains unrealised, it continues to inspire.

As Cameroon reflects on its independence today, there is a growing need to revive the spirit of the UPC and the wider pan-African struggle.

[All-African People's Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) @AAPRP]

Nigeria once stood tall as a moral voice in Africa and the world. It was a country that claimed to defend the oppressed, to stand against apartheid, colonialism, and injustice wherever they appeared. From Southern Africa to Palestine, Nigeria projected itself as a champion of liberation and human dignity. Today, that proud legacy is being dragged through the mud. The reported pact between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government and Israel is not just a diplomatic move; it is a betrayal of history, of principle, and of the African soul. https://t.co/1JtzEjA4gj

Walter Rodney was a decolonial Marxist academic and political activist. Although he was killed at 38 years old, his theoretical contribution has been one of the most important life giving arteries to our anti-colonial Marxist movement.

Walter Rodney continues to teach us every day by providing us with a theoretical framework that de-centres the European and Western worldview.

He teaches us that Marxism is only valid when we apply it to our own history and conditions. He also teaches us that it is not enough to engage in intellectual pursuits - but to use these to apply it to the concrete struggle against the capitalist imperialist system.

We NEVER see images like this in the Western media because it completely demolishes their propaganda.

It’s international women’s day. Remember, no imperialist power has ever attacked a nation to save or help the women. The latter are often the first victims. These vile warmongers hate women, children, workers, and oppressed peoples.
