The story of Lumumba will never be forgotten!
He will never be forgotten and the hole of Africa will never forget his death.

They know in Africa .
I am Indonesian and from Jakarta, in my childhood, I learned there is a road, near my parent's house, around Pasar Baru, it's called Jalan (rue=road) Patrice Lumumba... Never knew who he is, until today, I thought he is one of our hero (Indonesian war hero). So today, I knew that my country and government had give him an honor & remembrance of his courageous fight for independence of Kongo...

My respect to Your people and Government !
Never too old. I also learned this about Indonesia today. Good comment👍
I read deWitte's book its disturbing the way they killed and tortured that man. He is a national hero of Africa.
French and US are complicit. Today it against Russia but Russia will succeed.
@@ProjectHyena amen
Africa is a continent . He is a national hero of Congo . He is a hero for all The African continent .
@@fightback397 Solid leadership like that is needed for developing countries more than it is here. …No wonder why he was targeted.
I did a project on Patrice Lumumba in grad school and he was an amazing and inspiring man. Then to be murdered the way he was…so freaking sad…and for his family to have all that’s left of him, I can’t even begin to imagine…Belgium royals should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to the people of the Congo 😓
Should be trialed for Genocide War Crimes ! Y Westerners getaway with it !?
Not just Belgian Royals, the entire west should be ashamed
@@tyme5514 Very true! 👍
This is greatest evil on the planet earth. This is inhuman to humanity. Eminent Patrice Lumumba, u remain our heroes in our hearts. I'm convinced you are in a better place in the corridor of heaven. Obrigado Pape
He was killed by his own people.
He was one of the African heroes, and the western knew that they would lose their bread if they let Lumumba to rule Congo because they are poor
Africa we need to wake up, can't settle for a square in Belgium and return if a tooth😂😂😂😂
@@amagarajerome1800 I'm telling you. That should've even provoked war. We can't continue like this.
@@daveo2431 Thanx for the insight..it's so annoying the way many in the west take Africans and a big shame on the part of many Africans always wanting to please the very people who messed up the Cradle of humanity
@@amagarajerome1800 So true, I agree. I can't wait for the day that we'll stop being taken advantage of in this modern slavery. We keep running in circles, infighting and selling out, and everyone just trying to survive. The main issue is that we don't have enough power, and our visionary leaders who take the steps are too few, that's why it's always easy for the West to eliminate them and send us 10 steps back. I wonder for how long and, I pray we'll outlive this in our generation.
@@daveo2431 first the guns must go silent on the continent,gotta be able to feed the people, also be careful with opposition politicians those will in many cases sell their souls to get into power and hand keys to the continent natural resources to those that got them their and today the Wef is doing all it can to prop up opposition figures all over the continent ...Africa needs to start finding solutions to her problems and not always run to the west..need to fund education and research that is Africa meant to lift Africa to greatness ...but importantly need to find out who funds the armed conflicts on the continent and shame them...
I don`t see why the tooth matters.
They should be apologizing for what their King did to that country.
And paying some reparations.
Apology goes a long way. It makes the heart lighter.
Shameful people,why returning the body now? Indeed unipolar world is over.shameful people.
@@smileylady485 idiotic thing to say
Yes Congolese need reparations
@@bbfunny1622there is no body ! They melt it with acid!
The tooth was a trophy!
Barbaric Act
A wild assassination story. Belgium was, considering its legendary “neutral status” and the heart of the EU, probably the most brutal colonial administrator pound-for-pound.
From 1892 until 1894 was fought the Belgian-Arab War in what was at the time it occurred the Congo Free State of SM King Leopold II. This was a conflict Belgium undertook to eradicate an ancient evil from central Africa. This was the heart of the human trafficking that had been enduring since hundreds of years in spite of being struggled against by the entire civilized world. In history the British had done away with the Arab slave trade on the African west coast (once known as the slave coast) and later by the French. This had been a major artery for slave trading by the Arab caravans across the Sahara. Over time the Portuguese abolished slave trading on the lower west coast but the Arab slave trade survived in central and eastern Africa. Africans from the Congo region were taken captive by the Arabs for shipment up the east coast or over land and rivers to Ethiopia, Sudan and on to the Middle East. Zanzibar had long been a major base for slave trading.Kasongo which had long been a central hub of the Arab slave-trade network. Finally on 20 October 1893, west of Lake Tanganyika, the Force Publique fought the final battle in which Sefu was killed and his slave army was left without a leader and in small following engagements were totally defeated one at a time. The slave trade network was broken up and by January of 1894 the war was over with the Congo Free State Force Publique victorious and the slavers driven from the region. It was a great achievement for the Congolese soldiers and their Belgian officers (though many were not Belgians but professional hired soldiers from Scandinavian countries). Against a greater number of enemies in wild country with an unhealthy climate they had prevailed with courage to wipe out an ancient evil from central Africa.The Congo Free State, also known as the Independent State of the Congo (French: État indépendant du Congo), was a large state and absolute monarchy in Central Africa from 1885 to 1908. It was privately owned by and in a personal union with Leopold II of Belgium; it was not a part of the Kingdom of Belgium, of which he was the constitutional monarch.
Britain is still top dawg in that category, but they’re up there
@@commando2113 Thank you for the information. You sound very intelligent. The Roman Catholic Church was also involved with the colonialism.
The King should be present at this ceremony to acknowledge what they did personally
Acknowledging their bad deed is the right thing to do but they also need to be punished for it. Having the king visit Congo before deploying the remain of Lumumba is a flattery which the Congolese people will not accept. Actionable apologies should be centuries of repayment to the Congolese population and economy.
@@gagratitudeabundance9002 Payed by who? The people who had nothing to do with it? The Royal Family should be repaying not the people.
@@jed1mindtricks857 Nonsenese!!!
@@gagratitudeabundance9002 What is nonsense? I am from Belgium, 25 years old, you want me to send Congo money?
@@jed1mindtricks857 Just give back what your grandfathers stole!
His brutal murder led to a power vacuum which enabled the authoritarian and dictatorial Mobutu Sese Seko to rise and hold on to power. His death led to the impoverishment of the DRC, as Mobutu was infamous for embezzling state funds from the national treasury.
“His brutal murder led to a power vacuum which enabled authoritarian and dictatorial… to rise and hold onto power.”
Sounds like the history of most countries south of the equator in relation to the West. And the world isn’t talking about it.
@@robsusername1042 because it was planned cia sponsored mobutu. He was a cia plant
Patrice Lumumba killed by Mobutu with backing from US and Belgium. Mobutu proven to be loyal dog to deter communism until Soviet fall, US seen Mobutu as unnecessary and cut off ties. Mobutu gone sour over this and denounced western power.
The colonist are never change.Not to long ago they killed my beloved president Jovenel Moise in Haiti to put a assassin in power USA,France, and Canada ambassader did the conspiracy on our president in Haiti.
It was military coup arranged by USA and Belgium.
Rip Lumumba. You’re an icon to we Africans wherever we may be or come from on the continent. I just want you to know wherever you may be that we your people are still suffering and longing for when we may finally get to enjoy good governance in Africa without western powers interfering and distabilizing our continent.
Not only western but others who see Africa through imperialistic grasses!
Africa never really recovered from his loss. We will not forget.
DRC should increase international ties with China and fully cut ties with Belgium/France as reparations
Learn your history, pal. If somebody has to pay reparations it is the Roal family of Belgium. When the atrocities took place it was when the Kongo was the private property of Leopold II (Kongo free state) and the same oligarchy that was oppressing the Flemish part of Belgium.
With China??? Oh mate, another African death wish... China 😀😁😂🤣
People from Congo, Mali,Senegal, Guinea, Cameroon,Ivory Coast love France. Most British countries are okay like Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.
That's something odd you said, DRC is reviewing their contracts with China, since they look a bit shaddy and they are not as prosperous as they first thought
Like seriously you’re rit
Brussels must be made accountable ever! Its not settling between Brussels and family only BUT Brussels with People of Congo and humanity in general. How can u destroy the body in acid a person who never went to court?Had never been apology from brussels no prosecution for the killers untill today! Congo stand firm for this untill justice done
His speech , his ideas must be printed .
Well as preseented with the help of USA they managed to kilk him and it is obvious that the orders were to disolve his body never to be found...It's not only Belgium...Belgium is now a USA puppet vasal State as many others in Europe
Hero never died RIP LUMUMBA
colonialization & the murder of Lumumba wouldn't be possible without the cooperation of the African power hungry elites.
Power hungry elites or slave's of Belgium. I think you got it mixed up.
Yeah, we swing from one pretend myth to another, it's not progress.
So you mean, they are to be blamed… for being murdered and exploited. Very clever of you!
@@watchman1thewaycher169 they were already independent at the time they murdered Patrice ...
@@kenny4459 yep...the CIA together with the Government of Belgium conspired to murder Patrice lumumba & put a puppet president submissive to their interests.
hero, revolutionary, and one of the few african leaders who stood up for his own people, the likes of lumumba, nkrumah and nyrere will never be forgotten
Samora , Mondlane , Agostinho Neto , Amilcar Cabral , Sankhara .
Wait, I would like to understand if Belgians are seeking applause for returning Lumumba's tooth?
Please make it make sense; just a humble question?
Yep. What an insult.. a tooth...Belgium should pay for what they did ...
criminals, Belgium should pay reparations and offer official apology
The Belgian monarchy, they treated Belgium like their personal backyard
They killed Lumumba but they simply made his ideas remain thus making him immortal. Like all who have fought for freedom, peace and independence he shall live forever in our heart.
I have studied him for years. Unless you do your research you will never know the truth about him, what he believed, what he stood for, what he tried to do, what his aims were......those who murdered him were in league with each other and I'm talking about countries and heads of states including those who could have stopped it but turn a deaf ear.......they will never teach us about him in their schools because they dont want or children to know about him.....their fear is there may be a lumumba among us
We learned about him in school in Belgium. We learned he was killed en tortured by Belgium and the CIA after the coup.
Viva Mr. Patrice Lumumba. He is one of my most respected heroes of the world. His legacy will remain as world heritage forever.
10 million deaths!
One of the most influential political figures who was way ahead of his time and wasn't appreciated enough
Please guy's search for "Congo colonial amputations" to have an idea of how inhumane the Congolese gone through with Belge colonialism
Lol the CIA had a hand on that assassination too
The entire West had a hand in murdering or deposing great African leaders simply because most of them chose Socialism/Communism over Capitalism.
@@Exxperiment626 Because Russia has successfully propagated its false narrative?

Thanks so much for this news.
good i was always sitting in a caffe on Patrice Lumumba Street in my town till they renamed the Street for unknown reason
Tears rolling my eyes 👀 the true Sun 🌞 of Africa love and respect from INDIA 💕❤️💖💜
Nobody has been prosecuted for his murder yet we know that the government killed him and cut his body to pieces.
This is nonsense
Belgium should be held accountable for his killing
The perpetrators should be publicly named and locked away for life. They all have the blood of innocent man i their hands. What a painful and tragic way to die. RIP Sir Patrice Lumumba, hearing about you for the first time. The wicked will never have peace. My heart bleeds.
@@temmyn1943 he was killed by the Belgium government but they trying to act as if they didn't do it
They was mobutu sese seko also who allowed all this,the un soldiers too
Along with the US. The CIA was involved with the assassination. Allen Dulles, the CIA director at the time wanted him dead or removed and helped rebels and political opponents with their coop.
😭 long live Lumumba an icon
Never forgotten alongside comrades gallant Joseph Okito and Thomas Mpolo.May their souls Rest In Peace and Power .
Pretty trifling for them to hold the ceremony in Brussels. It's like they answered a text 60 years and said you can come pick it up.
Im from belgium and what my country did at that time is atrocious. And not just to the big man that was Lumumba. proof that you can't judge other countries horrors without looking at your own history. All we can do is not do the same "mistakes" that have been done before and trying to be good for others... I dont know what else to say honestly. I hope Congo will get better in the futur
And will not forgive USA and EU for atrocities you did to Africa during scramble and partition of Africa
You can indeed do something. Advocate for overthrowing the monarchy which is the symbolism of colonialism and teach your colonial past to the school kids of the crimes Belgians committed in Congo.
@@gotfan7743 I am not for monarchy as most of belgian people. But the king now isnt the one of the past, he is not that bad and hasn't much power here now. Politicians now are the one doing the mess, not in congo but here in belgium, as in most countries in the world the gouvernement is the one messing with his own people. For the education, im not a teacher myslef but i can tell you i got told at school the colonial past of my country and the exactions commited, as much as in documentaries on tv and in articles in newspapers. We know perfectly what some of our ancestors have done and our children will know about it too
Sounds like Belgium is worse than what Russia is doing to Ukraine ...Europe is the worst colonizers ever
Leopold ll
Sadly,one of many such freedom loving activists across the globe.Such outrage continues.
Atrocity begets atrocity,those women,sadly,paid the price for others crimes.
a man among men, he fought for his country he died for his country, our truest hero, cia and Belgium robbed us from our greatest son, we will never forget nor forgive
So sad 😭
Thank you lumumba we will never forget you ❤️
What an humiliation.
That’s sad
Africa has history to tell. Those who liberated freedom should be honored in a special way. Our African founding fathers had courage to get us where we are today.
West must surely pay for their atrocious activities in Africa.. Only time will tell..
Pay for civilizing Africa? Btw Europe gives billions of dollars to african countries each year so we already payed reparations
yes only the west! because africa never did such things! Be woke!
@@oranjeboven6363 Africans never went to someone's continent to enslave the population for centuries and after that colonialize their descendants for 100 years. Be woke buddy.
@@nkenowear9776 Wow, you must be very ignorant of history.
hmmm i don't think you know how people are in belgium, but yeah, many of our people wish we could heal the wounds for what our ancestors did, share more economics with eachother for a better future for congolese people. However, it's not really our thing to apologize for something our ancestors did while we weren't alive, all we can do is condemn for what our ancestors did to congo and hope for a better relationship to heal those wounds.
So sad !
This pasification Era can't End soon enough. The vile antics of Brussels MUST NEVER be forgotten! Paris, London, Washington and Berlin should also NOT be forgiven for Their Projected Antics unto the People of the Global South. If you notice, Tokyo knows where Beijing stands on the antics of the occupying forces during the early 20th Century, so too must Peoria, Luanda, Lagos, Kinshasa and countless other African nations. They SHOULD NOT allow them to think, they are Forgiven, Not now, Not Never.
That’s all they can do ? give them reparations
Murdered!

............and the sick part is all who were involved went unpunished
That is foolishness.. so congo recieved. The tooth of Lumumba and we should reconcile? and abid with the ties? Let me ask Belgians why did they kill 10 million plus Congolese in their own soil and Territory,? Why did they kill lumbumba after? Then in all these why did take all the resources that belonged to Congolese? Why did also take their artifacts and their spirits and gods?. Am Congolese answer me
What's ghe difference between expressing regret and apologising?
Belgians are enjoying
And he was named after my favorite cocktail, or maybe it's the other way around... Now, can we find out who shot down Dag Hammarskjöld?
VERY GOOD QUESTION/ALSO INTERESTING,!,,POOR DAG HAMMERSJHOLD'S DAUGHTER IN SWEDEN 🇸🇪 IS ALSO GREATLY IN SEARCH OF THE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HER LATE FATHER,!,,🤔😏😒🙄

@@froglifes6829 Same old skillful Eurocentric narrative.
@@munguci12 Yes because all the people that congo has done wrong to deserve nothing meanwhile when something happens against congo you need reperations,apoligizies,money...Etc. What a shameful and weak nation. Take responsbility for what your country has done if you want others to do the same.
@@froglifes6829 reread my script to find out if reparations, apologies, money, etc feature anywhere save "brought to book". Therein lies the shameful thought!
@@munguci12 Shameful thoughts are when you want one country to do something meanwhile yours refuses to do so aswell. You have to stop being a hypocrite. If you want reperations then give reperations to those that you have killed from and stolen from aswell.
the west was soo cruel...
And still it is so cruel with even stealing Africa's natural resources
This is a real real evils 😈 deeds as far as humanity is concerned 😟 🤔.
If the circumstances that led Germany, Italy, France, The UK, Portugal, Belgium, Spain# poverty# to murdered million of African people throughout the continent resurrect, do you think they will hesitate to do the same for their survival?
Rip
Belgium still has fingers in DRC.
Their recent visit to the DRC only proves that further, the King didn't apologize, only said it was "regrettable". Millions of Congolese died and were brutally treated under Belgian colonial rule, and the only statement you can offer was that it was "regrettable". Shame.
Lumuba is the real hero for all Africans he showed us that the most important thing in life is to believed in public interest
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Millions worth wealth is taken and the tooth of Lumuba is given back to congo
Woow great
Thank you Belgium
Cannot wait to the final judgment, someone will pay....
You will all pay the heaviest price for these injustices!
🇹🇷We are here, we will come for you...
Belgium most live to regret to all those evils deeds against Congo 🇨🇩, to Patrice Lumumba and to the rest of Africa at large.
to the rest of Africa at large? explain.
Revenge is coming; Divine Providence.
It is a shame for your colonisers, looters, torcherers , thieves and killers come back to you with a tooth of your hero. That's not what DRC people expect. Return looted natural resources too, help them build better and bigger their nation. Handing over a tooth? After Belgian Kingdom murdering him using assassins? Whatever you Belgians do, won't remove that curse and scar , you will always be remembered as Immoral Torturers, Killers and Thieves ... that is how Africans know you , and will last forever
The real leader patrice lumumba 🥺
I remember watching the documentary never seen so much evil the guy laughing about killing him.
Congo is a wealthy nation . So rich it should be on the list of top 5.
It is the second richest nation in the world, after india.
"Lumumba may be the greatest man that ever walked in Africa" Malcolm X
In some regions there are headhunters and other primitive tribes who took body parts home with them like trophies when they went on a rampage. But I had never heard that there were also those who gave back those trophies...
Some regions… you mean Western Europe? Oh yeah, those guys were and are very good at hunting people.
Good spin.. paternalistic
Will the big bad wolf do the same for Charlemagne Peralte and Makcolm X.
These colonists have no heart... just wicked... God sees and one day, He will judge.
I'm fed up of hearing about this geezers teeth now🤦♂️
RIP LUMUMBA
Why Patrice Lovumba was assassinated who wanted him dead, was someone have hatred towards Patrice Lovumba? Explain to me
Remains???you meant a tooth...
⭐... "OUR FIGHT IS NOT TO LOVE OR HATE THE SETTLER, IT'S A MATTER OF SOVEREIGNTY AND SURVIVAL".
... "SAID" ONE "DAY": "PATRICE EMERY LUMUMBA" ... WHO ALSO "SAID": "WITHOUT DIGNITY THERE IS NO FREEDOM, WITHOUT JUSTICE THERE IS NO DIGNITY AND WITHOUT INDEPENDENCE THERE ARE NO FREE MEN. ... !!!
That is what West is !
I love you Patrice, I just wonder were Congo would have been if these evil people would have not killed him and allowed our country to flourish.
You failed to report on the CIA's involvement. Pfffttt ...
For the Congo and Africa, this was their assassination of JFK.
Right! And Kennedy was killed not long after this so many think it was the revenge of the congo
😢
We don't need no apology.Apologizing saying I'm sorry is worth noting.
Theyh needs to say how he's going to compensate the people for all that they have gone through taken from them reparation. Apologies stop asking, wanting people to say they're sorry.
Maybe " He accept the money an walk away
I usually wonder how the coloniser descendants have audacity to preach for Human rights
the country of Germany is no different done Belgium when its come to the evil they have committed against Africa and it's people all their money cannot erase this evil against Africa
This was made possible by the tooth and reconciliation commission.
It's just a matter of time
Africans it’s high time we read and understand the book of Deuteronomy 28:1-68 for ourselves 👊🏿✍🏿🩹
Africa beware. There is a reason why all these symbolic things are being returned and apologies are being issued to Africa as of late. It's just like in America, they passify you with symbolic gestures and political theatre to have you ignore the major/more important play. Please pay attention and prepare accordingly.
What IS major play
Y'all can't make up for destroying not just a man's life but a nation 😢
Truth and reparations.
