BAP’s Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network Endorse and Support the Weekend of Action Against Zionist and “Israeli” Presence in Africa April 24–26, 2026
The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team and the U.S. Out of Africa Network stand in full support of the Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa’s Weekend of Action Against Zionist and “Israeli” Presence in Africa, taking place April 24–26, 2026.
We call on all anti-imperialist, Pan-Africanist, pro-Palestine, and peace-loving organizations and individuals to use this weekend to expose and oppose the expanding Zionist and “Israeli” role on the African continent and its links to the broader architecture of U.S.-led imperialism.
The political basis for this action is clear. The Zionist entity is not an isolated state pursuing narrow regional interests. It is a colonial and imperial project that has functioned for decades as a strategic outpost of Western domination. Its genocide against the Palestinian people is inseparable from its role in Africa, where it has armed reactionary forces, deepened surveillance and repression, strengthened neocolonial regimes, extracted resources, and helped consolidate the political and military infrastructure of imperial control.
For African people, this is not an abstract question of foreign policy. It is a matter of sovereignty, self-determination, and liberation.
From military and intelligence cooperation with comprador regimes, to spyware and cyber-surveillance targeting organizers and movements, to the ideological warfare of Christian Zionism and the deepening of sectarian divisions, the Zionist entity has worked hand in glove with U.S. and European imperialism to undermine African liberation. “Israeli” penetration of Africa is one more mechanism through which the U.S./EU/NATO axis of domination seeks to maintain neocolonial control of the continent.
That is why the struggle against Zionism in Africa is inseparable from the struggle to shut down AFRICOM and defeat the broader war on African people.
The forces arming and funding genocide in Palestine are the same forces that destabilize the Sahel, occupy Haiti, surveil and repress African people in the diaspora, and militarize the African continent under the fraudulent banner of “security cooperation.” Their role extends across multiple fronts on the continent, including support for militarized arrangements and proxy dynamics in places like Sudan, the Horn of Africa, including the destabilizing implications of “Israel’s” recognition of Somaliland, and resource-driven conflicts in the Congo. These interventions have contributed to mass displacement, mass death, and deepening humanitarian crises affecting millions. The underlying logic is consistent with what we are witnessing in Palestine and Lebanon: a system that governs through force, dispossession, and the devaluation of human life. “Israel’s” role in Africa strengthens the same imperial system that treats African land, labor, and life as disposable.
The Weekend of Action Against Zionist and “Israeli” Presence in Africa provides an important opportunity to deepen political consciousness, strengthen solidarity between African and Palestinian liberation struggles, and demand that African states sever all diplomatic, military, and intelligence ties with the Zionist entity.
We encourage organizations and communities to participate in ways that reflect their local conditions and capacities.
The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team and the U.S. Out of Africa Network affirm that African liberation requires opposition to all forms of imperial domination, including Zionism and its presence on the continent. Palestine and Africa share a common enemy and common objectives: true sovereignty and emancipation from the violence of Western imperialism. Our solidarity must therefore be political, strategic, and uncompromising.
No Compromise. No Retreat.
