Fellow fighters this programme is an initiative that was prompted by interest expressed by fighter who were requesting political mentorship. This programme is indeed inspired by the pronouncement of the NPA declaration on political education. “.Political education of all our members shall be the priority of the movement at all times, because we accept the observation by Thomas Sankara that a soldier without political and ideological training is a potential criminal. A fighter without rigorous and active political consciousness becomes vulnerable to counter-revolutionary capture and lumpen radicalism. Our radicalism shall always be based on revolutionary discipline. This is way beyond what any single individual acting alone, or even a loose affiliation of individuals could ever achieve. We shall always strive to thrash out our differences, be faithful to the revolutionary ideas of the organisation through good and bad times and through this whole process look out for each other. In this way we shall express our revolutionary outlook and collectivity while at the same time boosting the revolutionary morale of membership and society as whole.” Base on this profound statement articulated in the declaration on political education, an initiative is taken to facilitated concreate discussions.
