The Greatest Man to walk the continent of Africa Patrice Lumumba was born on this day 101 years ago. The first president of Congo he was murdered and dismembered by British and Belgian colonialism then dissolved in acid.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

4 years later, Gadaffi was dead and the entire Sahel belt was plunged into chaos.

So I guess we know whose side we should have taken. There's a lesson there.

[Friendly Neighborhood Comrade @SpiritofLenin]

“He was the greatest Black man who ever walked the African continent. He didn’t fear anybody. He had those [Belgian] people so scared they had to ki!! him. They couldn’t buy him, they couldn’t frighten him, they couldn’t reach him.”

What Belgium’s King Leopold II, one of Europe’s worst genocidal monsters did to Congo:

During his rule, Leopold declared Congo as his personal colonial possession and proceeded to commit horrific genocide upon the Congolese people.

8-10 million Congolese died during ‘personal rule’, with violence as a mechanism of organising production. Through mercenaries, prisons, forced starvation, and executions, Leopold II turned Congo into a concentration camp, using Congolese as the labour to extract vast profits from the rubber quotas imposed on the population.

The profits were used to build Belgium’s grand buildings and landmarks, while Congolese were exterminated systematically through forced labour, mass killings, and famine.

While the metropole of Belgium’s empire flourished, while Congo became an extraction machine. Workers who failed to meet the quotas were mutilated, having their hands cut off. These workers included children.

Villages were punished collectively. Women were held hostage until men delivered rubber. Failure meant mutilation, flogging, or execution. Terror was the incentive structure. Pain replaced wages.

The Congolese people never saw the profits, only the oppression of being used as slave labour. Belgium has still not offered a formal apology to the Congolese people for the genocidal atrocities committed against them…

Because doing so would acknowledge a fundamental truth; that European capitalism was not born from ‘innovation’, ‘free trade’, or ‘liberal values’, but through barbaric destruction of global south nations and the looting of their resources for profit.

Lumumba was assassinated for daring to seek real independence and freedom from the sadistic neocolonial domination that Belgium and the United States had planned for Congo, after the blood of millions of Congolese had been spilled for the benefit of Belgium.

🇨🇩Patrice Lumumba (born on this day in 1925):

“The colonialists care nothing for Africa for her own sake. They are attracted by African riches and their actions are guided by the desire to preserve their interests in Africa against the wishes of the African people. For the colonialists all means are good if they help them to possess these riches.”

Without dignity there is no liberty, without justice there is no dignity, and without independence there are no free men.

Patrice Lumumba (2 Jul 1925 – 17 Jan 1961), Congolese nationalist, Pan-Africanist, and independence leader who served as the first prime minister of the Republic of the Congo, born 101 years ago today. Murdered aged 35. In 2002 Belgium formally apologised for its role in his killing. In 2022, a gold-capped tooth, all that remained of his body, was repatriated to the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Belgium. #PatriceLumumba

"Me han robado la cosecha y nos han robado todo, nos han dejado sin absolutamente nada. Nos han destruido nuestra identidad".

Un abuelo palestino llora después de que los colonos sionistas le destruyeran las tierras de olivos y le robaran las aceitunas en Tulkarem (Cisjordania).

Esta mañana, los colonos han vuelto a destruir otra cosecha en la ciudad de Beita, al sur de Nablus.

Today is Patrice Lumumba's birthday.

Congo is not poor. It is robbed. Thats why he was killed within seven months of taking office for one belief: that the Congo's wealth belongs to the Congolese not the Colonizer.

Sixty-five years on, the robbery just changed owners.

“They imposed slavery on us to destroy us, then religion to divide us; ever since, fear has kept us in servitude, ignorance has controlled us, and the truth has always frightened us.”

Patrice Lumumba, the Congolese anti-colonial leader who was tortured, murdered, and dismembered by the CIA and Belgium for refusing to hand over his country's resources to imperialist powers.

[Afshin Rattansi @afshinrattansi]

On this day in 1925, Congo’s🇨🇩 independence leader and pan-African hero Patrice Lumumba was born. He gained prominence as a charismatic and vocal advocate for independence from Belgian colonial rule, which led to his involvement in the Congolese National Movement (MNC).

Upon Congo's independence in June 1960, Lumumba was appointed as the country’s first Prime Minister. He faced immediate crises, thanks to neocolonial meddling in the country, including a mutiny within the army and the secession of the mineral-rich province of Katanga, orchestrated and backed by Belgium, the country which tortured Congo under colonialism for many years.

His appeal for Soviet aid to quash the Belgium-backed secessionist movement led to Western leaders immediately beginning to plot against Lumumba.

His rule would end in tragedy, when he was captured in Lodi by the troops of coup leader Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. The coup was backed by the US and Belgium, with US President Eisenhower ordering the CIA to ‘eliminate’ Patrice Lumumba.

For daring to oppose Belgian colonialism and US domination of Congo’s natural resources, Lumumba was executed by firing squad on the 17th of January 1961 after being tortured. Before being killed, the colonial conspirators tried to force Lumumba to eat the paper on which his Independence Day speech was written on. After being executed, his body was dissolved in acid.

Lumumba still remains an icon of pan-Africanism to this day, with his image and memory being a rallying point for Africans across the continent against neocolonialism.

[Chetuya Chinagolum @Chetuyachinago]

Today we shed our colonial name. We are no longer Upper Volta; we are Burkina Faso—the Land of Upright People. We will pay no more imperialist debts. He who feeds you, controls you. Let us consume what we alone produce!

[Going Underground @GUnderground_TV]

Patrice Lumumba’s last letter to his wife after the coup backed by the CIA and Belgium:

“Neither brutality, nor cruelty, nor torture will ever force me to ask for mercy…I prefer to die with my head held high, with unshakeable faith and profound trust in the destiny of my country, than to live in submission and contempt of sacred principles…

History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations. Africa will write its own history, and it will be a history of glory and dignity.”
