The revolutionary upsurge demanding independence from imperialism by the peoples of the world is growing intense. The anti-imperialist struggle in the Sahel region of Africa, which reached new heights in 2020, has led to the complete removal of US and French troops from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. The ejection of these troops, which facilitated the political domination and economic plunder of the region by western powers, is one more historic victory for the anti-imperialist struggle on the African continent.
Also in the Sahel region, the Senegalese people have been waging an intense struggle against the pro-imperialist regime, which had deepened its west-backed fascist repression of the popular forces. The recent electoral victory after 12 years of fierce struggle is a significant achievement by the popular movement in Senegal.
Underlying the shining achievements of the anti-imperialist struggle in Africa is the spirit of combative and revolutionary Pan-African anti-imperialism. This combined the constant contemplation and practice of brave African revolutionaries with the great global upsurge in the national-liberation struggle that emerged from the victory over fascism achieved by the socialist forces with the USSR at their head during WW2.
The revolutionaries who fought for African liberation, including Amílcar Cabral, whose 100th birth anniversary we celebrate this year, transcended the borders artificially created by the imperialists, smashed their viciously divisive tactics and raised the strategic banner of anti-imperialism and socialism as the true path to the liberation of the African continent from colonialism and neo-colonialism.
The struggle and activities of the African peoples to realize their dignity and rights in the face of imperialism's aggression and plunder for five long centuries confirm the revolutionary principle that imperialist forces, whose aim is domination and exploitation, are the main enemies of the world's people, and the immutable truth that where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

The world is heading deeper into a third world war
The imperialist camp is now deepening its drive into World War 3 by prolonging the war in Ukraine, escalating the war in West Asia (the Middle East), and driving towards further war in East Asia and the Western Pacific.
The US-NATO Ukrainian neo-Nazi puppet army has been demanding that the US and NATO authorize long-range missiles to hit the Russian mainland, and many within the imperialist camp indeed want to lift the restrictions on the use of these missiles, forcing Russia to revise its nuclear doctrine in self-defence. Despite losing on all the major battlefields, the aggressive imperialist forces continue to provoke Russia and are frantically trying to expand and prolong the war in Ukraine.
Using its zionist proxies, US imperialism is driving towards a wider war in West Asia. The zionist killing machine, with the full support of the USA, the EU, and NATO, continues to massacre Palestinians in its genocidal assault on the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the zionists have been bombing Beirut, southern Lebanon, Syria and Iran, assassinating (among many others) Hezbollah's military commander and the chairman of the Hamas's political bureau in July, and going on to murder Hezbollah's secretary general in late September and Hamas's fighting leader in October.
On 1 October, Iran launched Operation "True Promise 2", and Hezbollah has since then been engaged in close fighting to repel repeated Israeli invasion attempts along the Lebanese border. The Palestinian resistance forces continue to resist zionist invasion forces in the Gaza Strip, and the "Axis of Resistance", the united forces of armed and popular struggle against imperialism and zionism in the region, has announced its intention to fight to the finish in the event of a full-scale war in West Asia.
