REMEMBERING MALCOLM X
STICK TOGETHER, FIGHT THE COMMON ENEMY! Sixty years ago, five assassins from the Nation of Islam murdered Malcolm X. The FBI had spent years escalating the serious political differences between Malcolm and NOI leaders—and worsening petty jealousies NOI leaders had for Malcolm as his prominence rose. The NYPD and FBI almost certainly knew the assassination was coming on February 21, 1965. Did nothing to stop it. Seemingly facilitated it. The five assassins knew the police presence at Malcolm’s rallies had declined. They knew no one would be checking for weapons at the rally of Malcolm’s Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). At an OAAU rally on February 15, an undercover NYPD officer who infiltrated Malcolm’s security detail witnessed “a dress rehearsal for this man’s assassination,” as he reported to police headquarters afterwards (as he did not report to Malcolm). “Get your hand outta my pocket!” one person shouted to another. “Cool…

WHERE IS AU, EAC AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS FOR KIZZA BESIGYE!?
Dr. Kizza Besigye was abducted in Kenya and transported to Uganda where he’s been jailed.In an interview with Bobi Wine, Uganda’s Revolutionary Leader, “The present trials and tribulations of Dr. Kizza Besigye must not be seen as an attack on him alone but an attack on all of us. He is being detained illegally. He is being persecuted. He is sick. He needs urgent medical attention. He has served this country and fought for all of us.

THE EUROPEAN UNION DEAF STANCE ON THE ICC ARREST WARRANT OF BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for the atrocities against humanity and Palestine. Humanity and Climate has lost adversely from the wars and machinery orchestrated by Netanyahu yet the EU International law is dying before our eyes, even through our complicit silence. Struck down by actions like Donald Trump’s sanctions on the International Criminal Court, its ability to bring justice to victims worldwide is seriously compromised. The ongoing genocide in Gaza, the disregard for the International Court of Justice, and the European Union’s complicity in trade with illegal Israeli settlements are all signs that justice is being undermined. Yet, it is not just international law that is dying. Our sense of dignity and morality is at stake. Take the case of Al Masri, a war criminal whose hands are stained with blood and torture in Libya’s detention camps. Despite an arrest warrant…

The European Gender Equality Week
The European Gender Equality Week is coming to a close. This week serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing inequalities faced by women and gender minorities. Yet, real change requires more than just gestures—it demands action to dismantle the systems that perpetuate these inequalities. Women continue to earn, on average, 13% less than men, often in precarious and undervalued jobs. Leadership remains overwhelmingly male-dominated, with only 39% of MEPs being women. Austerity and underfunded public services disproportionately affect women, forcing them into unpaid care work and trapping them in economic dependence. These issues can’t be solved with surface-level reforms. Capitalism and patriarchy thrive on these inequalities, exploiting and undervaluing women’s work. The Anti Fascist Movement International, Kenyan Chapter fight for gender equality is revolutionary—it’s about dismantling the systems that profit from injustice and building a society rooted in justice, solidarity, and real equality. #HumanityFirst #peaceforeveryone#AntiFascistKenya

What is fascism?
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and movement that emerged in early 20th-century Europe, particularly in Italy under Benito Mussolini and later in Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. The term “fascism” is derived from the Italian word fascio, meaning a bundle or group, symbolizing strength through unity. It is characterized by its emphasis on nationalism, dictatorial power, suppression of dissent, and the merging of state and corporate interests. Historical Origins and Development Emergence in Italy (1919–1922) Fascism first appeared in Italy after World War I. Economic instability, fear of socialism, and dissatisfaction with the Treaty of Versailles fueled Benito Mussolini’s rise. Mussolini established the National Fascist Party in 1921 and seized power in 1922 after the “March on Rome. “Rise of Nazism in Germany (1933–1945) Adolf Hitler adapted fascism into Nazism, emphasizing Aryan racial supremacy and anti-Semitism. The Treaty of Versailles, economic depression, and widespread unemployment created fertile ground…
