It is clear , america and belgium ordered his death , Killing Lumumba was a “PRIORITY” through “OPERATION BARACUDA” . They even wanted to send a real crocodile killer to finish off LUMUMBA .
Patrice lumumba wasnt a forward thinking person, he was going to be eliminated either way with or without mobutu.
He should have been smarter in His tone with the colonisers knowing quite well the interests they had in congo and the state of world affairs at that time. The moment he threw diplomacy at his speech infront of the belgian king is when his fate was sealed
America wanted zaire that much,they even brought in muhamad ali to entertain the zaireans. Fuck JFK, it didn’t last long before he got a 52mm slug parked in his brain pan
He wasn’t even supposed to talk in that meeting… anyway , i still think that congo citizens should have fought for him . Si kuacha lumumba to singlehandedly fight for independence while they were busy hunting HIV laden monekeys … alafu independence ikifika then ichukuliwe tena by westerners wanajiangalilia tu .
That population failed him , maybe it 's congo’s geography and size that was a hinderance …
hio kukosa kumuunga mkono seems to be biting them now
lakini that country is rich in resources, from timber to uranium…they are fucked unless a resolute leader emerges who wont give shit about westerners
