Stand with the anti-colonial Alliance of Sahel States!

The African People’s Socialist Party stands in solidarity with the anti-colonial mobilizations taking place in the Sahel region of the African continent, led by the Alliance of the Sahel States.

We salute the just and historic struggles of the governments of African people in the Sahel States who have, in a short space of time, expelled the U.S. and French colonial armies from our sacred African soil. The anti-colonial governments of the Sahel States led by Tchiani, Goïta and Traoré are part of the general growing African resistance characterized by the rejection of foreign colonial powers led by the U.S. and supported by unpatriotic African petty bourgeois neocolonial governments.

The governments and people of the Sahel have reintroduced anti-colonial resistance as the main politic in the region, contributing to the mobilization and excitement of African people in the region, in Africa and throughout the world. The Alliance of Sahel States is capturing more and more the imagination of African people everywhere who want nothing less than the total redemption of Africa for the benefit of all black people at home and abroad. A clear example of this desire is the fact that in Guadeloupe, a French-controlled island in the Caribbean, at least half of the people want to go home to Africa. We have to always see the big picture in every national or regional struggle.

The attacks on Chairman Omali Yeshitela and the Uhuru 3, on the Venezuelan government of Nicolás Maduro and the attacks on Captain Traoré are all part of the same war being waged by the colonizers to maintain colonialism as the global mode of production. The Alliance of Sahel States is not just fighting the U.S., France and other parasitic corporations, but against the colonial mode of production and its thousands of manifestations past and present–including coup attempts against Captain Ibrahim Traoré, threats of war against Niger, sanctions against the Sahel States, the bloody overthrow of governments of Lumumba, Qaddafi, the Congo and Rwanda genocides, the Sharpeville massacres, the murders of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, the economics of the CFA, the IMF and World Bank’s structural adjustments, the colonial slave trade, the lynchings of African people in the United States, the punishment of Haiti who dared to be free and the anti-black immigration laws that feed our children to the sharks in the Mediterranean.

Down with the colonial mode of production!

The balance of power within the Sahel States has shifted in favor of anti-colonialist forces, against the forces of the status quo and the African petty bourgeoisie. All these coup attempts against the government of Ibrahim Traoré are desperate efforts to derail the forward motion of African people and reinstate French or U.S. control over the Sahel States. We in the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) understand very well that for Africa and African people to be free, the global colonial mode of production must die. The colonizers must go. No African can afford to be a spectator.

We are all called by history to act decisively wherever we are, to build the modern anti-colonial movement with the final objective of decolonizing the mode of production once and for all, and replacing it with the African working class mode of production. To stand in solidarity with Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Generals Tchiani and Goïta is to be a part of the international effort to mobilize, activate and organize all fronts of the African National Liberation Movement to achieve our final objective: the liberation and unification of Africa and African people.

From one Sahel state to One Africa! One Nation!

Our salvation is in One Africa! One Nation! The salvation of the world is also in One Africa! One Nation! This is what imperialist forces are trying to stop. We are clear that the union of three states of the Sahel is the right direction! It points to the necessary unity of all 54 African states and all black communities dispersed around the world to end white colonial power over our lives once and for all. The defense of the anti-colonial government of Sahel States—Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali is upon us. It is what we do everywhere to build a connected single movement under the leadership of the African working class that will make it impossible for the colonizers and their puppets, unpatriotic African petty bourgeois forces, to attack Captain Traoré and the Sahel States.

The mission of the African working class is the mission of the APSP. The mission of the APSP is to complete the Black Revolution. That is, to complete the revolution of Kwame Nkrumah, Malcolm X, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara and others—but this time, until it has been completed! This time ‘til it’s won!
