Free-Zim Youth and Zimbabwe Youth Movement

Revolutionary programme



In the coarse of your revolutionary struggle to liberate our country from oppression,imperialism and exploitation,we have often been asked many questions by our counterparts and allies:What does your movement stand for? What is your programme?What is your ideology Are you a Socialist movement/Pan-Africanist?How is your movement structured?etc.

It is to supply some of the answers to these questions that this manifesto was written.The answers are far from complete. It will only be when we lay aside our camourflash for our pens that the World will know true nature of our revolution and philosophy. Here we have merely provided a preliminary defination of what we conceive to be the Zimbabwe betrayed revolution.

Some people will find flaws in our programme and ideology. We do not apologise for such mistakes. For in a difficult struggle as one we are waging mistakes are bound to occur. We strongly feel that the publication of this manifesto is imperative and that the material contained therein will provide our supporters and sympathisers with enough useful data to see the direction of the Zimbabwe revolution.

The founding of Free-Zim Youth and Zimbabwe Youth Movement opened a new chapter in the just and historical struggle of the people of Zimbabwe for national independence and self-detemination.Preceeding progressive organisations had sought liberation through constitutional means and reformist strategies.

FZY and ZYM moved away from this policy.In the words of our Nationalist hero Cde Dr Ndabaningi Sithole:"We have turned away from reformist politics. We now enter the era of take-over politics". " We are our own liberators by direct confrontation"

In launching what we now call "Betrayed Chimurenga" (the unfinished war of liberation)FZY and ZYM is continuing the struggle against oppression,colonialism,implerialism started by our fore-fathers in 1896 and 1962. A new dimesion is added to this struggle by the demand for minority independence from the Capitalist rule of Zanu PF and from other neo-liberal systems.

We clearly define the question as under a tyranny,the seizure of majority rule by the Zanu PF regime a former nationalist movement which has betrayed the revolution and have adopted colonialists and imperialists doctrine of oppression. A bourgeois nationalist movement which has replaced Rhodesians white bosses by black bosses or white by black privileged classes creating a class struggle.

With the Ideological guidance of our fallen true nationist Heros Cde Josiah Magamba Tongogara ,Cde Joshua Nqabuko Nkomo, Cde Ndabaningi Sithole and Cde Edgar Tekere we have to complete the revolutionary struggle which has been hijacked by Zanu PF bosses.It means that:

(a)Where political power which was in the hands of a foreign minority now black minority,surely it will be wrested from them and placed in the hands of the indigenous African majority;

(b)Where today a minority and neo-liberal systems enjoys economic and financial privileges , these will be abrogated and rights of the indigenous people to all natural resources and economic and financial betterment restored to them;and ,

(c)Where exploitation and degeneration exist today ,there should be real equality ,freedom and social justice we repeat social justice.

The movement and the unity of the people

The movement is the vanguard of the revolution.It is the machinery through which the revolution has to be planned ,waged and prosecuted and finally consolidated.The movement must unite all the young Africans in a common struggle against a common enemy-the tyranny.All the African people of Zimbabwe must unite in the common struggle ,irrespective of ideological ,religious or regional differences.The unity of the people is absolutely necessary for the successful prosecution of "betrayed Chimurenga" and the full cooperation of Comrades.Those scapegoats serving the interests of the minority regime of Zanu PF either directly or indirectly must be persuaded to see the true nature of the betrayed Revolution.

The Movement must involve all the oppressed people of Zimbabwe, not only in the common purpose of fighting against oppressive rule and dictatorship,but also in the detailed preparation for a new order(fighting a system).In the context of World struggle the Movement will join forces with all progressive movements,being Pan-Africanist,Socialist who are ideologically clear in the fight against class supremacy and put power in the hands of the masses of the working class.

Aims and Objectives

I support those who are true to the principles by which Zimbabwe became free of white supremacy rule. From my perspective here in the USA, I am not at all 100% clear as to what that means in terms of various political parties and movements. So, I hesitate to get too deeply involved in partisan politcs as such. My political position was that laid down by H.E. President Ahmed Sekou Toure, Supreme Leader of the Revolution in his "Politcial Unity" (http://fudaa.blogspot.com/2007/05/po...nity_13.html): we must all find ways and means by which we can unite on matters of common interests. Thus, I am working to develop the concept of front politics; a politics by which political parties can rise above narrow ideological differences to serve the whole African Nation.

To this end, I have called for the Front for the Unification and Development of Africa and Arabia. We believe that African Unity is dialectically linked to African Development. To have one, we must have the other and vice versa. Accordingly, we are working to establish development projects all over Africa. It is by doing so that we shall make our contributions to African political Unity. Thus, our politics is a politics to promote and facilitate African Development all over the world, including in the A frican Diaspora.

Recently, I proposed a project by which we can bring a minimum of $1 million to help finance various projects in Zimbabwe. This money is still available for the asking. Ideally, we would link the wetlands of Zimababwe and other nearby countries to the drylands of such neighboring countries as Namibia and further to the north at as far as the River Nile and the drylands beyond the Nile Valley. This requires cooperation, particpation and support from Africans all over the world.

When we not bogged down fighting among ourselves, there is a need for us to fight for African Unity and Development. You know how to contact me to help.
