Күн бұрын

On 30 June 1960, as he sat listening to King Baudouin of Belgium deliver his address to the assembled dignitaries in Léopoldville on the Congo’s independence day, the new prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, became increasingly agitated, scribbling notes furiously.

I saw a man of great courage, intelligence, and love for his people. As a fellow African, I am deeply hurt that the Congolese people failed him, and indeed this great man was the change they needed. I can barely get through this video knowing how Leopoldo of Belgium murdered my fellow African brothers and sisters, and what nerve of the nephew/colonizer to reject the truth.

The overthrow and killing of Lumumba is one example of many. I hope my country and the DRC can both help and learn from each other as the U.S. helps to pay off the immense debt it owes to the DRC for the neo-colonization of its people. I have so much respect for Congolese cultures. Love from Michigan, USA.

African youth should be taught about such history. I'm a young South African man and I believe in a united Africa. Men like Mr Lumumba are heroes and I wish their visions for Africa can live through us and into the future. The whole continent is lead by pensioners and we are very grateful for what the earlier generatons have done for us but if you look at the wealthiest people in our continent it's these same pensioners who hold all the wealth. It's no coincidence. We need new leaders to come up from our youth. Leaders who will not conform to the corrupt systems that have been established. Leaders who want unity and prosperity for our people. One thing is for sure is that such documentaries will spark that flame. #africa #unitedafrica #unitedstatesofafrica

But the veracity of the subject to them was more important than the penalty that they would incur. Even if the penalty was death, I call that medal of honor kinda brave.

Their strategy is to pick some traitors , ensure their rise to power and then continue in the plunder of Africa's resources . DRC , for all its vast mineral wealth , remains among the poorest of nations . Well , Mobutu , Kasavubu , Tchombe , etc. who took part in the death of Lumumba , have all gone to where they sent him prematurely . They will each give an account of their roles in his death .

I cannot understand why President Tshisekedi and former President Kabila did business with Belgium, France, and the US from a position of servitude. If these leaders are so blind that they can only see the lining of their own pockets instead of national growth then they are the ones who deserve to be executed.

The Belgians did the most in the assassination of the great Lumumba. The US government played second fiddle. As long as you don't put the blame on who it really was, the Belgians, your comment is simple fodder. The Assassination of Lumumba by Ludo de Witte is a good start for those who think they know but don't.

We celebrate our radical African revolutionaries and rightly so but we shouldn't forget that their revolutionary zeal and idealism is one of the reason why some African countries are so messed up...what if Lumumba didn't have great speeches but was boring and patient? Independence might have been delayed for five or so years allowing for the training of an officer Corp and civil service and that may have set Congo on the right track after all in the long run...Lumumbas zeal and charisma may have rallied crowds but people don't eat zeal and charisma....

I am so sad and angry, this frustration of a young educated man, trying to share the greater picture, a big vision of a great Africa, expecially Congo with all its huge natural resources. Looking at Ghana celebrating their independence, filled with hope for the independence of his own country, but instead ending up being killed brutally by your own people, your OWN. Worse than that, his friend Mubutu, the one he trusted and gave charge over the Army, ended up getting one with the West, doing this. I don't want to see or talk about Lumumba again, I have realized it makes me angry and sad

One of the few figures in African history that seemed to be both a martyr and untouched by the corrupt nepotism that plagued so many. Some say he wanted to play both sides of those in the Cold War, but he urged for neutrality and I think he was genuine in that. I doubt he was the next Messiah by any means but his record seems less besmirched that so many of that region who chose to use the trust of the public to vie for just an ounce more of power, putting them higher than most of the other crabs, but still lingering, far away from the mouth of the barrel. His advocation for the unification of Africans, like so many others, was what probably led to his assassination. Africa is much more profitable to colonizers if horrors like Rwanda and such happen on an iterative enough basis such that every native is wrecked with paranoia and malnourishment. Hopefully, something will break that cycle.

As a Belgian, I am deeply ashamed of the actions of my country. A positive thing is that now this history is taught in schools, unlike in the past. I was lucky, I had a history teacher who explained us outside the curriculum. For Lumumba, he was a victim of his time, 1960 is the time when the American policy of containment of communism started. He might have been a bit naive, being a genuine politician did/does not work... The US and Belgium had no control over him, so he paid the price. Who knows what the DRC would look like now. I will visit the DRC to learn more about the country and be a tiny part in building a positive relation between our countries, we owe it.
