In Honor of Comrade Abiodun Aremu: A Teacher and a Fighter for African Liberation
Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team

Abiodun Aremu

We honor the life of Nigerian organizer Abiodun Aremu, a true Pan-Africanist whose legacy demands we intensify the fight for African sovereignty. His recent, suspicious death only underscores the urgency of his work.

Originally published in Black Alliance for Peace.

The Black Alliance for Peace Africa Team and U.S. Out of Africa Network join the masses in Nigeria and across the African continent in mourning the tragic loss of our comrade and U.S. Out of Africa Network Steering Committee member, Abiodun Aremu.

Comrade Aremu was a Pan-Africanist and an internationalist in the truest sense. His profound understanding of the struggle extended beyond the borders of Nigeria, rooted in a deep commitment to the liberation of the entire African working class from the grip of imperialism. As a teacher and a steadfast general, his life was dedicated to the ideological and political work necessary for our collective emancipation, exemplified by his founding of the Amilcar Cabral Institute of Ideological Studies.

His death in a suspicious hit-and-run incident demands more than grief; it demands answers. We echo the call by the Nigeria Labour Congress for an immediate, transparent, and thorough investigation. The African working class cannot afford to lose its generals to mysterious accidents without explanation.

The greatest tribute we can pay to this fearless comrade is to intensify the work he helped lead. There is no more fitting way to honor his legacy than by throwing our full weight into the ongoing Month of Action Against AFRICOM. This campaign, central to the USOAN's mission, embodies the anti-imperialist fight to which Comrade Abiodun Aremu dedicated his life. He understood that the struggle against U.S. militarism and imperialism is a struggle for African sovereignty.

We are all impoverished by his passing, but enriched by the ideological clarity he gifted the movement. His work continues through us.

Abiodun Aremu, Presente!
