FINAL TOOTH IN THE COFFIN

One of our greatest heroes was assassinated 63 years ago today by Congolese men under the orders of Washington, Brussels and London.

It was Congolese men from Katangan who shot and killed Lumumba; the Belgians disposed of his body by dismembering it by melting it in acid and in a disgusting twist, his teeth were taken as a ‘souvenir’ by a former Belgian police chief. A singular tooth is all that remains of Congolese independence legend Patrice Lumumba. This happened more than 60 years ago yet it was only in 2020, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, that Belgium’s King Philippe apologised for atrocities committed in DRC and agreed to return Lumumba’s tooth.

It’s now been buried in DRC - over 60 years after colonialists assassinated him.

“Preferiría morir con la cabeza en alto, la fe inquebrantable y una profunda confianza en el destino de mi pueblo que vivir en la esclavitud”. #PatriceLumumba.

La memoria de la negritud es una historia de dignidad, hoy fue de esos días donde las marcas de la historia florecieron en el carácter. La vida sin dignidad no tiene sentido. #ElPoderDeMiTurbante

Reposted from @mediaoutrage2 Reposted from @amhur75 For nearly 80 years, Belgium ruled the Congo with nearly unprecedented brutality. Between 1885 and 1908 alone, King Leopold II treated the entire Congo like his own personal rubber plantation and subjected workers to mass rape, mutilation, and death, ultimately leaving some 10 million murdered.⁠ ⁠ But in 1960, the Congo finally gained its independence — and it seemed like Patrice Lumumba would be the perfect man to usher in a new chapter for the country. A longtime activist for Congolese independence, Lumumba was a popular choice to become the country's first prime minister. After all, he helped the country win its freedom and boldly spoke out against Belgian brutality. ⁠ ⁠ Despite attracting many supporters, Lumumba also made plenty of enemies — especially Western countries like America who feared his anti-colonialist message. Soon, Belgium and the U.S. collaborated with a Congolese faction in torturing and assassinating Lumumba at the age of just 35 ⁠ Credit By: @realhistoryuncovered ⁠ #drc #congo #patricelumumba #cia #1960s #africa #historyofafrica #africanempowerment #panafrican #africandiaspora #westafrica #eastafrica #afrique #françafrique #knowyourhistory #stevebiko #kwamenkrumah #malcolmx #wakeupafrica #blackfamily #blackfathers #blackandproud #blackwomen #africanwomen #blackman #blackwoman #africandiaspora #Chicago #atlanta #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/CTM5CRMA6zlgu1wN-GewViInE5NX-hiBO6iSI80/?utm_medium=tumblr

In a recent interview that aired, Seon was asked about her decision to go and work for Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba. The broadcast is worth listening too. But Seon’s life also represents a more profound connectivity harbored in the Black Atlantic in the twentieth century especially, which has connected the Congo to North America, and the Caribbean. . .  #CongoToGlobal  #PatriceLumumba  #PanAfricanist  #BlackLegend  #BlackExcellence✊🏾 (at Crenshaw and Slauson) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TMRKbD4ER/?igshid=1w45esvnregwo

Portrait of Patrice Lumumba, first ministerpresident of independent Congo after the end of the cruel and bloody belgian colonial rule. After only 3 months in office Lumumba was forced to escape from a military coup and was murdered by an postcolonial alliance of belgian, british and congolese secret service. Congo subsequently became a cleptocratic dictatorship under Joseph Mobutu.

Reposted from @ronniesidneyiiauthor - Rest in Eternal Power to one of the Greatest African Heroes #PatriceLumumba “My beloved companion, I write you these words not knowing whether you will receive them, when you will receive them, and whether I will still be alive when you read them. Throughout my struggle for the independence of my country, I have never doubted for a single instant that the sacred cause to which my comrades and I have dedicated our entire lives would triumph in the end. But what we wanted for our country — its right to an honorable life, to perfect dignity, to independence with no restrictions — was never wanted by Belgian colonialism and its Western allies, who found direct and indirect, intentional and unintentional support among certain high officials of the United Nations, that body in which we placed all our trust when we called on it for help. They have corrupted some of our countrymen; they have bought others; they have done their part to distort the truth and defile our independence. What else can I say? ‘That whether dead or alive, free or in prison by order of the colonialists, it is not my person that is important. What is important is the Congo, our poor people whose independence has been turned into a cage, with people looking at us from outside the bars, sometimes with charitable compassion, sometimes with glee and delight. But my faith will remain unshakable. I know and feel in my very heart of hearts that sooner or later my people will rid themselves of all their enemies, foreign and domestic, that they will rise up as one to say no to the shame and degradation of colonialism and regain their dignity in the pure light of day. We are not alone. Africa, Asia, and the free and liberated peoples in every corner of the globe will ever remain at the side of the millions of Congolese who will not abandon the struggle until the day when there will be no more colonizers and no more of their mercenaries in our country. I want my children, whom I leave behind and perhaps will never see again, to be told that the future of the Congo is beautiful and that their country expects them, as it expects every Congolese, to fulfill the sacred https://www.instagram.com/p/BsHeDChnuqc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vkcxjhcxjpf

Bélgica devolve restos mortais de Patrice Lumumba, 60 anos depois

Bélgica devolve restos mortais de Patrice Lumumba, 60 anos depois. Patrice Lumumba foi assassinado há mais de 60 anos, por separatistas congoleses, mas até hoje permanece a dúvida se o assassinato não terá tido a participação do Governo belga e do envolvimento dos EUA. A repatriação dos restos mortais do primeiro líder democraticamente eleito do Congo, Patrice Lumumba, ocorre no momento em que a…
