The arrest of Patrice Lumumba, 1960.
Patrice Lumumba๐จ๐ฉ was the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo. He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower.
For over a 100 years, the US and Belgium have played key roles in shaping Congo's destiny. In April 1884, seven months before the Berlin Congress, the US became the first country in the world to recognise the claims of King Leopold II of the Belgians to the territories of the Congo.
In the few months prior to his assassination, Lumumba had been the first elected prime minister of the Republic of the Congo, newly founded on June 30, 1960.
A revolutionary nationalist, he was a major leader in the countryโs fight for independence from Belgian colonialism.
He intended to use the countryโs vast resources to improve the lives of the Congolese people. They had endured unspeakable suffering under Belgian rule, with literally millions having died on its plantations and in its mines.
His rise to power alarmed Belgium. While having been forced to grant the Congolese people formal independence, it had no intention of giving them real independence or surrendering its economic interests in the mineral-rich landโrubber, ivory, and copper, diamonds, gold & more.
Nor did U.S. imperialism. By 1960s, it too was exploiting the Congoโs resources & was determined to expand its economic, political & military influence in Africa.
It wanted to establish a compliant, bought-off government that wouldnโt stand in its way & they saw him as a threat.
The U.S. with Belgian assistance, began plotting to remove Lumumba from office and silence him...for good. To accomplish this, they took advantage of the fact that the country was not yet really in the hands of, as Lumumba had put it, โits own children.โ
Behind the faรงade of formal independence, Belgian military officers still controlled the Congoโs army and police. The mineral corporations still had tight control over the wealth of the country and over an apparatus of corrupt politicians.
Secret agents of the U.S. CIA, Belgian intelligence, and other powers were working day and night to keep power firmly and permanently in the hands of forces subservient to imperialism.
Among those eager to collaborate with imperialism was Joseph Mobutu. He had been a colonel in the Belgian colonial army, and was made head of the โnewโ imperialist-controlled army. And Mobutu was working hand-in-hand with the CIA on how to kill Patrice Lumumba.
To carry out the CIAโs assassination directive, Mobutu staged an army coup dโetat, suppressing political organizations in the capital.
On January 17, 1961, a firing squad shot to death the Congolese anti-colonialist fighter and leader Patrice Lumumba.
His body was buried, but then dug up and dismembered and burned and dissolved in acid so there would not even be a corpse around which his supporters could rally.

Africans shouldnโt forget that in 1960, when Patrice Lumumba ๐จ๐ฉ was under house arrest, Egypt ๐ช๐ฌ was the only country to offer asylum to his family while they were hunted by Mobutuโs forces, who handed their father to the Belgian forces that killed him, cut him into 34 pieces, and dissolved his body in acid.
Three of his young children (Franรงois, Patrice Jr., and Juliana) were smuggled out of Leopoldville using Egyptian diplomatic cover, fake passports, and UN-linked Egyptian personnel. They were taken to Cairo and raised in the household of Egyptian diplomat Mohamed Abdel Aziz Ishak under the protection of President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Nasser later sent a plane to rescue Lumumbaโs widow Pauline Opango Lumumba and their remaining children.

They told the whole world to avoid China. Decouple. De-risk. Sanctions. Tariffs. War rhetoric.
Then 12 US capitalists flew to Beijing to beg the Communist Party for deals.
Elon Musk. Top CEOs. Trump himself. All in China. Smiling. Shaking hands. Asking for business.
The same politicians who call China an "evil empire" are now standing in Beijing with their hands out.
Told Africa to stay away from China. Told Europe to cut ties. Told everyone China is a threat.
But when their economy is burning, when their factories are shutting, when their own system is failing, where do they run?
Beijing.
They do not believe their own lies. They just want you to.
Hypocrisy has no borders. But neither does desperation.
