The Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa Condemns the Violent Assassination Attempt Against Comrade Booker Omole of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya
The Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa (CEIA) is aware of a shocking and violent attack that occurred at the residence of Comrade Booker Omole of the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya (CPM-K) in Nairobi on January 10, 2025 at 3:00AM.
Armed gunmen stormed the residence of Comrade Booker Omole, the General Secretary of Communist Party Marxist Kenya, and attempted to carry out an assassination against Omole and his comrades. Due to strategic foresight, our comrades were armed as well, and successfully repelled the attack on their lives after a fierce exchange of gunfire.
These gunmen are suspected to be reactionary operatives led by the criminal gang leader Benedict Wachira, who has ties to President William Ruto’s ruling party. Benedict Wachira has repeatedly issued threats against the Communist Party Marxist Kenya. This calculated plot is the latest escalation of the violent repression of our comrades in Kenya, who are on the forefront of the struggle against the Kenyan state for the just and democratic aspirations of Kenyan people. This is a pattern seen elsewhere on the continent, where our comrades are facing serious reprisal and must be defended. The attack on Comrade Booker and the CPM-K is a reflection of the growing strength and power of their movement, as well as their critical role in challenging the state and fighting for the Kenyan people.
The CEIA unequivocally condemns this failed assassination attempt against Comrade Booker Omole and the CPM-K, and we condemn the dirty tactics used by state-backed operatives to threaten and thwart the revolutionary work of our comrades.
Despite this attack, the CPM-K remains resolute in their struggle for liberation, justice, and socialism. We urge all our comrades and friends to join us in this condemnation, spread the news, and remain vigilant and prepared to support and defend Comrade Booker Omole and the CPM-K.
Long live the Communist Party Marxist-Kenya!
Long live the anti-imperialist struggle!
Forward to the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism!
