The U.S. left also played a role in this two-year ordeal by acquiescing to the threat of Democrat-led government repression with little resistance and deafening silence. Whether due to fear of being next, because of their belief in the Democrat-created lie of Russiagate or because of their own internal Russophobia, or worse anti-communism (even though Russia is not a communist country any longer), the lack of support given to the Uhuru 3 reminds U.S.-based African anti-imperialists that we are largely on our own. Therefore, our greatest strength is found in international solidarity with like-minded and focused peoples around the world.

this US leftist didn't even know that this was a thing until right now (JFC!!!)
it's not fear of being next, russophobia, or anti-communism; it's plain, old fashioned ignorance coupled with captured media ensuring that we don't hear about this no matter how much you try to expose yourself to media outside american oligarchical control. (apparently)
