Chairman of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan is
Immortal
The central
committee of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan with immense
grief and deep pain announces to all members, supporters of the
party, other Maoists of the country, parties and organizations of
other countries, and the international communist
(Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) movement that comrade Zia, chairman of the
C(M)PA and one of its founders, and wise leader of the Party passed
away due to a heart attack at the age of 68.
The death of
comrade Zia is an immense loss for our party, the proletariat and
peoples of our country, the international proletariat, revolutionary
peoples, and the international communist movement.
No doubt his
death will cause deep grief and sorrow for the members of our party,
other Maoists, and peoples of our country. The central committee
calls on all members of the party to turn our grief and sorrow into
inspiration for revolutionary struggle, keep party unity, and as
before remain united around the central committee.
Comrade
Zia’s life was full of revolutionary commitment and serving the
people. In his early youth, he joined the ranks of revolutionary
struggle against the obsolete monarchic regime. After the infamous
coup d’état of 1978 and the subsequent Soviet social imperialist
invasion in 1979, he continued his national-democratic and
revolutionary military and political struggles.
Comrade Zia
founded and led the Revolutionary Communist Cell of Afghanistan in
1987, which led to the formation of Revolutionary Communist
Organization of Afghanistan in 1989. Comrade Zia with his
revolutionary comrades founded the Communist Party of Afghanistan in
1990, the central committee of which elected him as the chairperson
of the Communist Party of Afghanistan.
After the
American led imperialist invasion and occupation of Afghanistan on
the seventh of October 2001, the Communist Party of Afghanistan under
comrade Zia’s leadership, and realizing the necessities of
immediate revolutionary struggle, took a stance against imperialist
occupation, calling for the unity of the Maoist movement in the
country. The Organization for the Liberation of Afghanistan and the
Revolutionary Workers Alliance of Afghanistan responded positively to
this call for unity, leading to the unity process of the communist
(Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) movement between the three organizations,
and the eventual unity congress formed the Communist (Maoist) Party
of Afghanistan. Comrade Zia was again unanimously elected as the
chairperson of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan. Likewise,
in the second congress of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan
in 2014 he was again unanimously elected for the same role.
Throughout
his professional revolutionary career, comrade Zia paid relentless
attention and strived for the training of youth and new revolutionary
cadre. He struggled relentlessly for the manifestation of initiating
a revolution based on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and provided a model of
sustained self-improvement in the fire of class struggle and in close
contact with the masses.
Comrade Zia
will remain in our memories as a comrade for all struggles––an
immortal comrade, a tireless comrade, a comrade committed to
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism that never abandoned the camp of the
exploited and the oppressed.
Comrade Zia
rendered a valuable service to the revolution by defining the
ideological and political line of the Communist (Maoist) Party of
Afghanistan. He played an important role in the conduct of the
international activities of the party, whether in relations to the
Revolutionary Internationalist Movement or in relations to individual
international Maoist parties and organizations.
The central
committee of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan pays its
condolences for this huge loss to all members, supporters of the
party, and other Maoists of Afghanistan and the world. In particular
we pay our deepest condolences to family members and loved ones of
our comrade.
Comrade Zia,
as the chairman of the Communist (Maoist) Party of Afghanistan not
only continued the revolutionary line of Akram Yari, but further
developed it.
Yes
comrades,
The camp of
revolution lost a legendary comrade, and this is a huge loss for all
of us. However, the life of comrade Zia has provided us with a model
of an exemplary, committed, and true communist leadership. Comrade
Zia has left behind a valuable legacy, which teaches us to never
abandon our position, and always firmly stand with the proletariat
and swim like a fish within the sea of the masses. He taught us to
constantly challenge and rebel against the situation and solidly
remain committed to the fundamental principles of the party.
Comrade
Zia’s life was truly in the service of revolution and the
international proletariat. In an epoch when imperialism and reaction
are making an onslaught in our region and around the world, in the
darkest and saddest of times, he raised the slogan of revolutionary
people’s war of national resistance against imperialist occupiers,
their puppet regime, and the reactionary ISIS occupiers. He made a
bridge between previous and current generations of revolutionaries,
and as a brilliant teacher spread the seeds of revolutionary ideas.
He performed his responsibilities in this regard in an excellent
manner.
Comrade Zia
will live in the struggles of the international proletariat!
Comrade Zia
will be immortalized in the struggles of the international
proletariat!
Comrade as a
true Maoist leader will remain in the history of our class!
Comrade Zia
is with us!
All party
units within the country and supporters of the party outside are
obliged to hold commemoration ceremonies in celebrating the
revolutionary memories of this comrade within a month.
Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism
Long Live the Communist (Maoist)
Party of Afghanistan
May the path of Comrade Zia
continue forever
Central
Committee of the Communist Maoist Party of Afghanistan
