- Following the election of Patrice Lumumba as prime minister of the Belgian Congo on the 22nd of May 1960 and King Baudouin’s independence speech on the 30th of June that same year the Congolese people and Eisenhower administration had high hopes that the Republic of the Congo would form a stable, pro-Western, central government. Those hopes vanished in a matter of days as the newly elected prime minister will soon be dismissed. This very dismissal will set in motion a complex series of events that will set the nation in chaos.
you see Lumumba's outspoken criticism of Belgian colonial rule made him a controversial figure, particularly among Western powers. After being arrested by the Congolese army and held incommunicado, Lumumba was transferred to Katanga, where he was subjected to physical and psychological torture.
On January 19 61, he was secretly flown to Elisabethville (now Lubumbashi), the capital of Katanga, where he was imprisoned. Lumumba and his two aides were shot and killed by a firing squad made up of Belgian, Katanga, and other foreign soldiers. Their bodies were then buried in a shallow grave near the location of their execution.
This is the story of Patrice Lumumba an African revolutionary feared by the West.
Patrice Émery Lumumba was born on July 2, 19 25, in the small village of Onalua, in what was then the Belgian Congo. He was the son of a farmer and a member of the Tetela ethnic group, which was known for its long tradition of resistance against colonial rule.

Great leader and national hero for Zaire
They're still doing this in Congo, just using different methods. Glencore is exhibit A.
It's a no brainer. Lumumba will not obey his master, the American, and that's it. He's kaput.
So you just make sure you obey your master too. Obey your master and when you hit the ball back in my court, I guess I got to do the same huh.
Interesting video. The narrator would do well to improve the pronunciation of the French names.
at least you understand so just accept the message
@@zelnando It is painful to hear the French language butchered this way!!
@@zelnandoI agree
It's not his language, don't expect him to be perfect. What's important is the message
Ur pronunciation is quite not up to but good for a white guy so I will give u the credit but btw KWAME Is pronounced just how it’s spelt hence a two syllable word which is KWA-ME not kwemi pls as I’m Italo-Ghanaian and also Leopoldville shouldn’t be Lapoldville but should be pronounced exactly as spelt please but all the same was a good and brilliantly presented vid once again
Africans are funny how did Lummumba travel to ghana 🇬🇭. We don't produce anything in Africa
