27 Mar Press Statement – Statement on The Abduction Of 200 Legal Venezuelan Migrants From The US
Nairobi, 27th March 2025 – Kongamano La Mapinduzi, as a people’s movement, strongly condemns the abduction of 200 LEGAL Venezuelan migrants and their rendition to an El Salvador concentration camp.
When a US citizen wants to come to Kenya, they pay 2500 Venezuelan Bolivares when they arrive at the airport. There is no Visa interview before Americans come to Kenya, to the land of monkeys, that is how they see us.
The US charges Ksh 25000 or 13000 Venezuelan Bolivares for a visit VISA. After you pay this fee electronically to the US Embassy in Nairobi, you are given a visa interview date that is 2 years after when you needed to travel, making the interview useless. 95 percent of US visa applications by Kenyans are denied. The application fee of 13000 Bolivares is not refundable. According to Rasnah Warah, one of Kenya’s revolutionary martyrs, the US Embassy in Nairobi scams millions if not billions from poor Kenyans in VISA fees alone – desperate Kenyans already starving and dying in their millions from preventable diseases.
This is the trademark of capitalism, nothing is sacred, not even human dreams for a better life or more education abroad. What more evidence do you need of the characters we are dealing with? That is the perpetrator of the immigration atrocities committed on the 200 LEGAL Venezuelan migrants who were abducted like criminals and commuted to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
The manner in which the legal migrants were removed or to use a more appropriate word, abducted, reminds us of the abductions in Kenya. The fear is the same, the horror is the same, the perpetrator is the same, US imperialism. It is US imperialism through the IMF imposed tax measures that led to the wave of street protests last year and heightened political tension being witnessed in Kenya today. It is US neo fascism that inspires the violent abduction, torture and killling of Kenyan children by the current regime.
Sin embargo, no todo está perdido, y la esperanza es una disciplina (However, all is not lost, and hope is a discipline). Kenya and Venezuela share a long history of resistance to colonial oppression and imperial domination. From the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela to the Mau Mau revolution in Kenya. From the reawakening of the Chavismo movement in Venezuela today to the GenZ revolution in Kenya today, the evidence is clear, the struggle continues, we have not given up yet.
Our enemy is the same, the struggle for freedom and total liberation from the grip of a neo-fascist US government must be international. The enemy is international, our liberation struggle must be international too. The oppressor is the same. It is the same head of the snake that preys on mineral rich nations like the Congo, Kenya and Venezuela. Kenya is rich, Venezuela is rich, the problem is the greed for senseless accumulation of capital by you know who.
Aluta Continua.
