Epidemic Sound,
Patrice Lumumba. A great man indeed.
This is the only documentary that has brought tears to my eyes. What has happened to Congo and is still happening is very sad and very unjust. Love from Kenya my Congolese brothers and sisters.
Same with me just as his mentioned Patrick Lumumba
Same with me just as his mentioned Patrick Lumumba
Brethren stop tearing wake up together we can,, don't think that its happening in congo only its allover the entire GONDWANALAND i mean AFRICAN continent if not solved now😮😮😮 the future will judge us mercilessly
Wake up - they tear us apart. They make us slave - they take everything we have. We must stop them now
This is by far the best channel for real African history. RIP to Lumumba, betrayed by his own countrymen…
The history of the Congo is definitely one of tragedy, especially for Lumumba and Kasa-Vubu. From leaders of a large African country full of promise, to mere pawns in an international game we call the Cold War.
VERY good work - I'm an American, but I remember all of this from the 70's onward. Good that you have created such a comprehensive history!
Lumumba was such a bright and tragic figure.
I remember Mobutu's "last return" to Zaire after a hospitalizaion - Coca Coca actually SPONSORED the event!
Verily talk about UN,of what value is UN to AFRICA
Some tough members of Africa like Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are really trying out new ways of international relations. Mali got solar power built by Iran after selling them uranium. Now I hear Burkina Faso is to get Nuclear power station built by Russia. Soon all African countries have to make sure we trade with each others because our exports to West has not improved us but set us backwards.
im senegalese i follow since your 1st videos i love them keep going please i sometimes listen to your videos while sleeping and then i start the next day in case i sleep to early. Please dont change the quality and your style of making them❤❤
Human greed knows no boundaries
And us African's admire the wrong things that is why end up being dictator's thinking we are benevolent dictatorship
Good stuff brother
Just few touches at 58:22, Kisase Ngandu died earlier in the conflict. Instead Kabila had a fallout with the tutsi kadogo leader Anselme Masasu of AFDL. The AFDL coalition was mainly formed of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi, Angola joined much later in the conflict. Also Selemani is Joseph Kabila’s adoptive brother. The twins have a biological brother Zoe Kabila.
The assasination of Patrice Lumumba resulted in the loss of stability which started then and it is still enduring in the DRC.
West don’t like strong leaders Lumumba who is uniting people. West like divide and rule
Massive work, man. Great documentary as always. Thanks for continuing to educate on African history.
Really great work. It's mind-boggling how these sellouts have destroyed, and are still destroying Africa in collaboration with blood and resource-thirsty foreign adversaries. Who will deliver Africa?
@@amakaadeyemo4328 The people have to do the work. It's human nature to be evil and easily corruptible
Really greatly crafted narrative and your delivery is great! Please keep going
Really do appreciate these vids. I started reading books on modern Africa as a hobby and it’s nice videos like this exist. Hate how America hardly mentions the modern DRC at all when the Second Congolese War creates ripple effects around the world today. At least I was taught about the genocide of King Leopold II, but the Cold War in Africa, an in-depth look at decolonization, and people like Mobutu are pretty absent. They might briefly be touched on one day in high school world history but that’s one day in one class out of 4 years. Obviously European history takes center stage 😔 Hopefully you can see how bad American history education is from this and why Americans hardly know geography. I studied history and international affairs in college but not a lot do sadly.
The reason stuff like this is never mentioned is because how little impact it has on America. You won't see Japanese, Brazilian, Colombian, Korean, Chinese, Uzbek (etc) schools teaching this either. Trying to teach the entirety of world history would be impossible and pointless, so all schools cherry pick what the government determines is best to teach
very enlightening I have really learnt a lot of this piece..thanks bro
Awesome documentary. Only gripe is the constant background music is unnecessary and very loud. Thank you for reading. Keep up the good work!
Great work, thank you.
This is a well put video
Thank yoi
Great stuff. It is indeed a complicated and painful history, but also a fruitful one that has finally put the Congo like other African countries we see today in a perfect position to complete their journey to complete independence from former colonial powers and their friends so the people can enjoy the fruits of their country and be free of poverty. Peace and love
Same story, different African country. Enlightenment of the mind and a widespread realization that the good of all guarantees the good of one will break the cycle
i like the way you showing the events , good job keep going
Tinoda content itsva baba. You've given us these before in parts and combined them which is great but we want more.
Lol, it’s coming don’t stress. I have 2 lined up for December
Typical Shona that’s why zim is a mess
@@AfricanBiographics can’t wait!
@@xolanimpofu6040 what are you upset about?
Why does everythin has to be tribal with you Ndebele's?? @xolanimpofu6040
Great work and always informative. Question could you make a video on Joseph Kasa-Vubu, the first president of Congo? Thank you.
I loved it … got informed and enjoyed all the way … keep it up 😊
Your work is so exemplary and informative. Thank you sonmuch for the work you put in and sharing with us.
" Long Live the liberation fighters, Long Live an independent and prosperous congo, Long Live Independence and African unity!" Patrice lumumba 🇨🇩
Very informative..keep it up
Sir,can you make a special video on Major General Fred Rwigyema
This is amazing, you have one of the best channels on youtube. I learn so much from your videos.
Let me make this clear as a Political Studies student, Lumumba wrote on three occasions to Eisenhower for help which the U.S president refused his grievances before he turned for the help of the Soviets.
Eisenhower personally phoned the head of his agents for Africa that he wanted Lumumba dead,which really disturbed his head of agents for Africa.
The head agent plainly told Eisenhower that Lumumba is the most intelligent guy he has seen and he can dispose him from office easily without even killing him, because he can be useful to the people of Congo in the future.With almost two hours of trying to convince Eisenhower, Eisenhower angrily told the agent that the discussion was over and his instruction to kill Lumumba is an order and agent replied"yes sir".
You may not be with us but we live your dream !
Will make proper time for this tomorrow. 💪🏾
Please do a one-hour video about Jean-Pierre Bemba
Excellent political history of modern congo, very well done.
Hey Man, me again :) your channel is way too small for that quality content!!! i am from germany and in school african history (or any other, except european and a bit U.S, for that matter) never really was/is a topic but i always was interested. So big thanks to you and your great telling!!!
What a beautiful documentary
Enjoining your Video’s on African politics 🎉 please continue the good work
Good documentary
the music is a little loud. great documentary as always ❤️
Good work sir. Looking for documentary about Jean Pierre Bemba.
Coming from a fellow Zimbabwean,I must say you did an excellent job in this documentary until about 1:01:26 where you did some window dressing for Kagame.You did not include the plans Kagame had to create his own state in Eastern Congo run by Tutsis and Western powers were willing to support his mission.That triggered falling out with Kabila sr who no longer wanted to be a vassal of Kagame and M7,so he went on to fire Tutsi security chiefs that he had been manipulated into installing.It was the firing of those Tutsi chiefs that created 2nd Congo War.
When Kagame's rebels were about to overrun Kinshasa in 1998,that was when ZDF was called in to save Kinshasa from falling .
It must be noted that fall of Kinshasa was going to enable Kagame to chop up Congo into 5 nations/territories and Western powers were backing that plot to loot Congo's minerals .However ZDF forces derailed those plans and Zimbabwe was hit with sanctions as punishment for that.
So to sum it up,Kabila jr was literraly a puppet of Kagame and M7 as he allowed them to loot Eastern DRC and kill with impunity.
That was the time where Uganda and Rwanda began posting record Gold exports as they were looting it from the Congo.
I could go on and on,but the days of looting Congo are coming to an end as Felix has won another term after defeating Kagame's puppet Moise Katumbi.Congo is now fighting back against Rwandan backed M23 rebels and we are seeing beginning of another conflict.
I am hoping you are not one of those guys on youtube who Kagame pays to write propaganda docos that suit his narrative and exonerate him from his horrendous thieving crimes,in which there is overwhelming evidence against him.
Now that I got this out of my chest,let me say I still love you my Zimbabwean brother,keep on making excellent documentaries,even though we may disagree on certain things,but we are of one blood.
Tatenda,Ishe komberera Africa ne Congo!
Do you ever think you should get a wider variety of music? The history is very good but I have been listening to the same three tracks for I think years now.
The Brutal History of Alkebulan people. Is so sad and wicked. It is so important not repeated history In 2024 these people are still experiencing rape pillage and Genocide by colonisers other Africans and the West. The continent of Alkebulan is the Mother land of mankind. I hope this beautiful conitent and the people start to gain sovientity over their land and countries. They is so much to beneifit. The west and many other countries have gain so much out of Africa yet Africa has not gain
.The poverty and struggle continues to repeat a pattern and rape pillage and killing continues . I hope peace prosperity harmony Wealth Emanicapation and they stand within their power and AWAKEN. to build be come to united all Alkebulan people it is is important to return to speaking their mother tongue languages. I hope the universe can help and the collective to bring a great good to all the Alkebulan people.
Awesome video,I’m a American follower of Patrice Lumumba ❤
the music is too loud, it overpowers your voice..... great content!
Though the Belgians , Americas and Mobutu and Tshombe are brutally unjust to Lumumba and excuted him, though Lumumba is dead, his legacy isn't, he is still a hope to Pan-African revolutionaries, it was sad that the news of his execution and torture came to international attention
Lovely documentary but noisy background.
my Africa. 😢
It’s no complicated it’s a simple case of fathomless greed of money and power
When I travelled in Brussels many buildings in the capital were owned by African ieaders
At 22:40 you mention "Czech personel" being forced out of the country I have to correct it that at that time it was "Czechoslovak" personel as at this point the Czechoslovak state still existed (dissolved in the year 1993). I am not surprised about our little involvement at this point since we tried to be quite active in Africa for better or worse at that point (at least as active as was allowed by our Soviet overlords that were to brutally invade us in 1968). Lumumba became a sort of a hero for Czechoslovak communists at the time, many streets still bear his name (but some were renamed after 1989 when the communist dictatorship was ended) but he is not widely known around here. First time I've heard the name was in high school from my history teacher who is funilly enough now a minister of agriculture in the current government :D
I always believed in the Presidential System of government than the Parliamentary System
Tatedai I love your page and the new series you are doing but please consider cutting it to 30 minutes interval s 1 hour 30 minutes Is too long
Yet no single Congolese president followed his footsteps we must follow our footsteps African
He suffered, whilst he was using one hand to fight for his country, he was using the other to fight his own people
our role model a true Pan Africanist !
There’s a saying in the western part of Nigeria, and I paraphrase, if you don’t have grip of the staff of power don’t make enquiries as to what led to your father’s death. Lumumba was naive
Yes and not swift with action
Mobutu Sise Sekou: After learning of his reign of the Congo, how is he in God's hands now, how? We pray to God forgiveness. General Eisenhower who later became President Eisenhower was the president of the United States when Patrice lumumber was murdered in a heinous way. The same President Eisenhower perhaps did more for the advancement of civil rights than any other US President in recent memory.
18:43....wow.had balls....
The Belgium and Her Evil France empire has a lot of African and The people of Haiti 's Blood on Their Hand. Remember my fellow CZcamsrs and it Audience, My Late 112 years- old- grandmother, once said Nothing Evil, in these world, goes without unpublished !
My Beloved Continent, continued failure, many years later after its independence
😊
King Leopold was a savage who ordered the cutting off of children’s hands who failed to collect enough of the Congo’s natural resources.
🥺
Who among the politicans can we blame for the dark history of the people of Congo DRC because this has caused political instability in Congo today
@AfricanBiographics What do u guys know about Pierre Mulele?? a Congolese Freedom Fighter!!
While the Belgium rule of Congo was was grim, the Congole were by no measure ready to rule a country.
They are still not .....
this had me thinking; why won't they just leave why stay what chasing you out of Europe? for real help make it make sense
we are own problem and till date we are still living under this sort of rule
What a damn shame!
He was very young, if only he had matured a bit The DRC would be far
Sucks you added music.
Kasai is my home.
It seems to me that the U.S and company brutalized Lumumba so completely not to kill his body! He was probably long dead towards the end! But were trying to murder his ideal! And trying to completely destroy every shred of his body to kill their own shame and guilt! Lumunba being the example of the truth of their treachery and under-handedness! But yet..his ideals and beliefs in the Pan African policy of self determination lives on in the hearts of the people on up 2024! Oh Africa! My ancestral homeland! With the power of the resources found only there! The African continent should be the richest in the world! And its people guaranteed a stable and prosperous! But now and as before! Both here in America! In Africe! And the European continent people of African consent and African proper continue to be abused and robbed of our birthright! With connivance of our so called "leaders"! Our "Holocaust" continues! Up to today! But we wont be granted our just due! Until we as the people push those forward among us whom will turn from corruption! To true cooperation to keep our work ourselves! And then we thrive! As those in the Middle East!💯💯💯💯💯

This is sad. This is disgusting. Congo 70% of the world's diamond, 50% of world's uranium. And the Congolese ppl are starving. King Leopold what an evil man. America always has to be involved. Extremely sad.... they found his tooth in 2022. Yoh..
Sad it’s your own people they use
Mobutu and Habyarimana were an embarrassment to Africa. You forgot to mention Mobutu had to exhume Habyarimana's remains, cremated and dumped his ashes in the ocean before he fled Congo. I think they are in hell where they belong.
How was Habyarimana an embarrassment to Africa?
@@1wun1 do you know about the Rwanda genocide and where all the whole thing began?
@@Jo-vk6zl
Yes, so how was he an embarrassment?
@@1wun1 you must be an interesting character 🤔
@@Jo-vk6zl
Is that your argument?
DRC is still struggling to recover from the economic and political instability that Mobutu's despotic rule placed it in
Wild history from beginning to end. Country won’t ever prosper.
In 1971 Idi Amin staged a coup against President Milton Obote and became president of Uganda .
Milton Obote had criticized the apartheid regime in South Africa and the UK government detested his position on South Africa . Britain then supported Idi Amin’s coup against Milton Obote .
In 1979 Uganda exiles in Tanzania, Kenya led by Gen Tito Okello, Gen Bazillio Olara Okello, Gen Oyite Ojok supported by Tanzania President Julius Nyerere and Kenya VP Oginga Odinga launched a rebellion against Idi Amin through Mwanza ,Tanzania/Kisumu ,Kenya on L. Victoria restoring President Milton Obote . In 1982 VP Oginga Odinga supported Kenya Airforce coup against Daniel Moi led by Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka, Sgt Pancreas Oteyo Okumu,Sgt Ogidi Obuon,Sgt Samuel Opiyo,Cpl Obuon,Capt Agola,Fenwicks Chesoli,Cpl Njereman,Major Mutua . In 1982 VP Oginga Odinga was placed under house arrest by Daniel Moi .
At least 800 Uganda Luo-Langi and Luo-Acholi soldiers died in the rebellion against Idi Amin . At least 300 died in Lake Victoria when their boat from Mwanza in Tanzania and Kisumu Kenya towards Entebbe capsized .
The soldiers had been trained in Uganda by Gen Bazillio Olara Okello as an Infrantry instructor at Jinja . Together with Lt Shaban Opolot ,Gen Bazillio Okello had established the 2nd Battalion in Moroto Uganda .
In 1980 Yoweri Museveni disagreed with Obote and Launched Luweero war . Gen David Oyite Ojok(one of best trained soldiers in Uganda history,at least 6 years EU,US) died in a plane crash on his way to Luweero .
This changed the direction of the war . As Chief of Staff Gen David Oyite Ojok had contained Yoweri Museveni’s NRA(National Resistance Army) rebel insurgency in the Luweero Triangle .
Between 1981-86 Paul Kagame and Fred Rwigema together with other banyarwanda tutsi exiled in Uganda fought alongside Yoweri Museveni in Uganda .
In 1985 regional/nepotistic disagreements between Uganda National Liberation Army Commander, General Tito Okello(Luo-Acholi) and President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) over the promotion of Smith Acak Opon(Luo-Langi) to replace the late Gen Oyite Ojok(Luo-Langi) instead of General Bazillio Okello(Luo-Acholi) caused a coup against Milton Obote .
Gen Tito Okello became president(1985-86) and Gen Bazillio Olara Okello became army commander . Daniel Moi of Kenya called peace talks in Nairobi between Yoweri Museveni and Gen Tito Okello .
The agreement(witnessed by Ambassador Bethwell Kiplagat of Kenya) required Gen Tito Okello to be president and Yoweri Museveni to be vice president .
Gen Tito Okello proposed Harvard Trained Uganda Lawyer exiled in Kenya Ambassador Olara Otunnu(Luo-Acholi) to be president after transition to civilian rule .
When kabila died. Joseph kabila is a fraud. Is name is hypolyte kagame not the please update your records Joseph is not kabila son but a fraud is name is hypolyte kagame. Not kabila
You guys are very crazy. How Joseph Kabila steal the me? Africa people stop that spirit of jealous 🖕🖕🖕🖕
Please expansitate your claim
Here we go. Congolese finding a pretender amidst them when they are a bunch of tribes put together by whiteman.
Why did Laurent Kabila present him as his child to the Congolese?
I am an African living in the UK 🇬🇧. I don't think Congo will ever have peace. The people have been so brutalised that they can't understand what it means to live a peaceful life anymore. Congo is supposed to be one of the richest country in the world but what do we have today? Its very sad.
and there is even a civil war happening there as we speak.
Never for give White Man d
Patrice Lumumba HAD GOOD INTENTONS BUT HE WAS STUPID IN HOW TO DO POLITICS.
Why didn’t the Africans build wide boulevards and movie theatres themselves? Why would they expect to be able enjoy the things Europeans built?
They did. Research on the old Kongo kingdom before it was ravaged by Leopold.
Which white people built these boulevards and movie theaters? Or are you unaware that these same fixtures were built with money collected as taxes from the people and minerals stolen from the land? Take your ignorance among your people
It might interest you to know that there were settled areas of Africa (Egypt) LONG before anything similar in Europe or the Americas. Look up "cradles of civilization." The article in Wiki gives multiple sources you can check.
@ Aped....what kind of stupid and nonsense question was that? If the evil Whites want to build theaters for themselves alone then they should have stayed in their impoverished European countries back then. It's only people with demonic mindset will take-over your home after you have welcomed them peacefully into your home. Africans Weakest from back then and till now is that we welcomed Foreigners on our lands very easy. But Don't worry they are all changing...the new generation are waking up. Let me give you a little story you never heard on any mainstream Western media. According to Ghana history when The first Europeans- The Portuguese were sailing to Africa, they were Stacked, lost and stranded in the middle of the sea until they were found by Ghanaian fishermen - a coatal tribemen who rescued them and led them to the land. Their king at that time received them peacefully and gave them food fresh water and a place to rest. It's in our history that few men at the time suggested and begged the king to have the Portuguese killed because they smelled something evil about them but the King refused saying we are Humans and Human Don't kill their guest who have done nothing to them so they allowed the Portuguese to stay and learn everything about the people. Well we all know what's happened after....if we would have killed them and killed he next group when they arrived and again the next group arrived they would not have the chance to start Slavery because at the time they have no sophisticated weapons than us or Africans but we continued to entertain them till they learned every secret about us- who is whose enemy, which Tribe is big and small, the powerful and Weakest for almost 100 years until when America made a maching gun ( thanks to Chinese for discovering and improving gunpowder) then gave the guns to the Europeans which changed everything....started from killing, torturing, ra***pn babies and women, land grab, resources seized all the way to Slavery. So you see now? An evil is evil and the evil demonic European continued their massacres to Australia India,Americas all because they had a powerful gun before all others and since then they javelin made sure that any country trying to have a sophisticated weapons they'll attack you first because Whites are not naturally Bron fighters like we blacks but rhey are Killers and can't stand compete if they allowed every nation to have their own weapons
Hope BY Now CONGO would have been leaned a lesión,
Hope CONGO would NEVER forgets what MOBUTU DID to CONGO But it ceems that the CONGO presidente Don't THINK And thats why he never THINKS to be in good tarms with his brothers THAN to be hearing From They outsiders And It Will never helps África or the CONGO It selfe.
Needs someone who can speak proper english to make this listenable / digestible
