Socialist Party President, Dr. Fred M’membe, has called on the international community to resist what he described as the United States’ imperialist approach to global governance.
In a statement issued in Lusaka on Sunday, M’membe condemned what he termed the abduction of Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
M’membe said such actions reflected a long-standing pattern of American aggression against sovereign nations, adding that this behaviour was not new to Africa.
He recalled the 1961 assassination of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, who, he said, was painfully humiliated, killed, and his body allegedly dissolved in sulphuric acid.
M’membe also referenced the killings of Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, along with the U.S. invasion of Grenada, as further examples of violent foreign interventions driven by imperial interests.
He accused the United States of lacking regard for human dignity outside its own borders.
“Their sense of humanity is zero as they respect only their own humanity,” M’membe stated.
He argued that even America’s European allies were now being treated with similar contempt, attributing this to what he called composite arrogance in U.S. foreign policy.
“The world cannot be ruled this way. The world cannot be governed this way,” he declared.
M’membe added that the global order dominated by American capitalism is in crisis, increasingly relying on violence and criminality to maintain control.
“The more troubled it becomes, the more brutal and criminal it gets,” he observed.

He dismissed the drug-trafficking allegations against President Maduro as “ridiculous,” insisting that the real motive behind the U.S. stance was Venezuela’s oil and its geopolitical influence in Latin America.
“There is nothing in Venezuela that justifies linking Maduro to those accusations,” he said. “What they want is oil. What they want is power.”
M’membe criticised the use of overwhelming military force to assert dominance, stating:
“Yes, America is militarily powerful. They have created a killing machine beyond comparison. But humanity cannot be governed this way.”
He called for global solidarity against imperialism, urging people worldwide to fight for a more just international system.
“A better world is possible,” he said. “But only if we struggle for it. A more human world will be created through that struggle, and we have a duty to fight for it,” M’membe added.
