Story of Asia and africa are twin and not much difference as far as white man greed is concerns and the modus operandi to deal with it as it suits their agenda.
This brother here reminds me so much of Malcolm X. Two erudite, uncompromising brave cats. Who were willing to risk their lives on behalf of their people. Lumunba, like Malcolm, had to know that those speeches that they made( the chickens coming home to roost.And the one that Lumunba made before the Belgium King would cause them some detriment. But the veracity of the subject to them was more important than the penalty that they would incur. Even if the penalty was death, I call that medal of honor kinda brave. Where you're willing to risk your life for your fellow man. There is no more braver individual on earth in my opinion, than somebody willing to do that.
It hurts so much seeing how black men tied his arms up with rope in benefit of Belgium. I believe Congo is playing for all the betrayal committed against Lumumba. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏿
It must really hurt to know that it was black people like the Ashanti tribe that got rich from slavery and the Dohemi that fought a war against Britain when they were told that they could no longer be slavers
It's the fate of the black race . Vladimir Putin once said , with a measure of truth , that it's easy to kill a black man as his brothers will do it for you . After centuries of slavery and colonization , Africans remain at the bottom of the world development index . It's a deliberate policy by the greedy Western imperialists . Their strategy is to pick some traitors , ensure their rise to power and then continue in the plunder of Africa's resources . DRC , for all its vast mineral wealth , remains among the poorest of nations . Well , Mobutu , Kasavubu , Tchombe , etc. who took part in the death of Lumumba , have all gone to where they sent him prematurely . They will each give an account of their roles in his death .
U see it the savagery in colour, so don't for a minute think blacks didn't help capture n sell blacks into slavery. You should do some research on Niger and what the French did

Patrice Lumumba inspired the civil rights movement in America SNCC! I was a small kid listening to my uncles and their college friends speaking of liberation in America. I always thought Patrice Lumumba was a personal friend of theirs.
It took a while to fully watch and digest this video, what's going there now hurts so bad and yet again the continent of Africa failed the children of Congo. How our leaders go to sleep at night while Congo children die for resources that has never benefited them baffles me. It hurts so much because as an individual you feel helplessness.
How do you fully watch the video and not understand the tragedy that will inevitably befall any African leader standing in between the capitalist West and the natural resources they insatiably seek after?
I know!! Truly tragic. But for me, the saddest part is that Africa has learnt little from history. The African leadership has taken over the role of the colonialists and still getting rid of those who try to bring liberation for Africa. Truly tragic..

Both heroes. I feel the same way about Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Fidel Castro, and the Afro-Cuban soldiers that helped liberate Namibia from colonial apartheid rule. Incredible historical figures that should never be forgotten.

The biggest case study of American imperialism and greed is showcased in the Congo (DRC), through the way they (Eisenhower, Nixon & CIA) handled H.E. Patrice Lumumba
Yet Esseinhower is seen by many as a great President despite his horrible record of Amerikkkan imperialism. He was responsible for overthrowing Democratically elected Iranian leader,installed the Shah to be a puppet for the West,Iran has not recovered from that. Esseinhower also supported a coup in Guatemala to overthrow leftist leader and install a puppet so they can profit from their citrus fruit plantations there. When the Bay of Pigs invasion happened in Cuba during the early months of Kennedy administration,it had been the Eisenhower regime that had recruited Cuban exiles,trained them to plot the invasion. Kennedy only found out when it was in advanced stages and he was powerless to stop it,so he allowed it to happen,thankfully it failed. That’s Amerikkkan imperialism for you.
The shame is that President Esseinhower was no hero as you can see his record.People don't want to see the hypocrisy in these political leaders and the damage they done to freedom. Lumumba was a man of truth and greatness but was taken away by greed.
The Belgians did the most in the assassination of the great Lumumba. The US government played second fiddle. As long as you don't put the blame on who it really was, the Belgians, your comment is simple fodder. The Assassination of Lumumba by Ludo de Witte is a good start for those who think they know but don't.
To whoever who is sad don't be Patrice Lumumba's dream is alive and well he did not die for nothing and we who are Africans have studied his ways and are fulfilling his wishes on earth the East African Union is liberating Congo as we speak and Belgium is not a Colonial power Patrice your son's from all over Africa are alive and well your objektives will be meet whether they like it or not
😢😢😢😢 💔 I never really knew about Patrice until I started watching few videos. Watching this today really swelled my eyes with tears. I felt no fear but pure anger. How can any African leader fear the west or europe after knowing who Patrice was and what he stood for. Is Congo any better today ?. 😢😢😢😢
It is a blessing ,but the mind set of those that are being attacked by a powerful enemy who refuse to unite but betray one another having a defeated mind ,that's the curse
Thanks for the unbiased content. As a Congolese, Lumumba was indeed our Moses [like I saw someone's comment], our hero but the imparialism didn't want the DRC to go forward by itself all these 'cause if greed of these western evils (sorry for the use of an explicit word, I'm so anxious and it's heartbreaking). May his soul rest in eternal peace!!!
You did an excellent job on this topic! Can we expect coverage on Julius Neyere? I'm sure I misspelled it. I think he was the first President of Tanzania.
@@augustopinochet1670 Soviet union was just not an imperilistic country, but you would not know that, your nick is a western imperialistic nazi lapdog pinoche.
I remember watching a documentary about him. It’s absolutely horrible and disgusting how they did him. I truly believe the country would have been better off with him as their leader
The African continent's (and the WORLD'S) most intriguing "what if" scenario, in my personal opinion. Imagine if Patrice Lumumba's vision for a completely independent, self actualized, and UNITED (!) Africa was allowed to manifest itself...
We celebrate our radical African revolutionaries and rightly so but we shouldn't forget that their revolutionary zeal and idealism is one of the reason why some African countries are so messed up...what if Lumumba didn't have great speeches but was boring and patient? Independence might have been delayed for five or so years allowing for the training of an officer Corp and civil service and that may have set Congo on the right track after all in the long run...Lumumbas zeal and charisma may have rallied crowds but people don't eat zeal and charisma....
Without influencing the masses they would do as their told through western influence. His words were necessary to spark critical thinking among his people.
Mr Lumumba was a Martyr!! He died for the People!! Revelation 17:6 [6]And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
All it takes is just 1 brave voice to speak up against the hypocrisy and other atrocities to plant the seeds for freedom and liberation from tyranny and imperialism. Lumumba was a great man, and it is a pity he is not alive today to witness the evolution of Africa. 🙏🏽
The Americans Belgians and all the Congolese including Mobutu should have been drag before the Hague tried and either imprisoned or executed for the demise of a gigantic Congolese patriot! And until today the Democratic Republic of Congo is still reeling from this mishap!
Cobalt mining exploits is the new form of struggle they endure. Majority of the workers are children. People complain about slavery of the past and do nothing about it today.
These are wonderful videos you create; you’ve earned a subscriber! This greatly helps (albeit doesn’t complete) my understanding of Africans’ glowing view of Patrice Lumumba.
It's because he was honest. At a time when everyone was expected to pretend that grievous horrors had been forgotten, he never stayed silent. He paid for it with his life. Very few honest people remain.
No matter what you read of another culture ,if you can't get rid of the trailers amongst you like Castro did and Mau Mau did in China then ,you will get nowere
I cried so much during this video. Thank you African Biographics for creating an informative space where Africans can empower each other to continue fighting against oppression!
We can only thank God for giving us this fearless african leaders whoz love for their country n freedom was outmost may God remember them wherever they are without them we uld still b in bondage.
One of the few figures in African history that seemed to be both a martyr and untouched by the corrupt nepotism that plagued so many. Some say he wanted to play both sides of those in the Cold War, but he urged for neutrality and I think he was genuine in that. I doubt he was the next Messiah by any means but his record seems less besmirched that so many of that region who chose to use the trust of the public to vie for just an ounce more of power, putting them higher than most of the other crabs, but still lingering, far away from the mouth of the barrel. His advocation for the unification of Africans, like so many others, was what probably led to his assassination. Africa is much more profitable to colonizers if horrors like Rwanda and such happen on an iterative enough basis such that every native is wrecked with paranoia and malnourishment. Hopefully, something will break that cycle.
Than God for the advancement of technology and social media platforms. Being a blk man in the USA. This African history of a great black leader in Africa being plotted against and murdered by evil powers that be,. Thanks for bringing this archived history to the forefront of minds that seek education in light of a dark history
What a great man and sacrifice Patrice Lumumba made! When black men in particular Stop killing each other, we as a race will win! Lioness Kush Lumumba ( my name was changed a few years ago to reflect my support of Patrice and his vision for Afrika ❤)
I am so sad and angry, this frustration of a young educated man, trying to share the greater picture, a big vision of a great Africa, expecially Congo with all its huge natural resources. Looking at Ghana celebrating their independence, filled with hope for the independence of his own country, but instead ending up being killed brutally by your own people, your OWN. Worse than that, his friend Mubutu, the one he trusted and gave charge over the Army, ended up getting one with the West, doing this. I don't want to see or talk about Lumumba again, I have realized it makes me angry and sad

Story of Asia and africa are twin and not much difference as far as white man greed is concerns and the modus operandi to deal with it as it suits their agenda.
It is all in history, with out conscience, anything to satisfy their greed and control. But most of all, keep the Black man down.
This brother here reminds me so much of Malcolm X. Two erudite, uncompromising brave cats. Who were willing to risk their lives on behalf of their people. Lumunba, like Malcolm, had to know that those speeches that they made( the chickens coming home to roost.And the one that Lumunba made before the Belgium King would cause them some detriment. But the veracity of the subject to them was more important than the penalty that they would incur. Even if the penalty was death, I call that medal of honor kinda brave. Where you're willing to risk your life for your fellow man. There is no more braver individual on earth in my opinion, than somebody willing to do that.
It hurts so much seeing how black men tied his arms up with rope in benefit of Belgium. I believe Congo is playing for all the betrayal committed against Lumumba. May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏿
the operation overseen by a fellow countryman Mobutu who was Belgian and CIA puppet, how sad
It must really hurt to know that it was black people like the Ashanti tribe that got rich from slavery and the Dohemi that fought a war against Britain when they were told that they could no longer be slavers
That part made me so emotional 😢how could you do that to your own? 😭😭😭
It's the fate of the black race . Vladimir Putin once said , with a measure of truth , that it's easy to kill a black man as his brothers will do it for you .
After centuries of slavery and colonization , Africans remain at the bottom of the world development index . It's a deliberate policy by the greedy Western imperialists . Their strategy is to pick some traitors , ensure their rise to power and then continue in the plunder of Africa's resources . DRC , for all its vast mineral wealth , remains among the poorest of nations .
Well , Mobutu , Kasavubu , Tchombe , etc. who took part in the death of Lumumba , have all gone to where they sent him prematurely . They will each give an account of their roles in his death .
U see it the savagery in colour, so don't for a minute think blacks didn't help capture n sell blacks into slavery. You should do some research on Niger and what the French did
I first heard of Patrice Lumumba through Malcolm X's admiration of this man .
Modern African history is a subject which was not well covered in my American education. I really appreciate this channel, your content and your concise, economical and straightforward style.
The truth of African history will never be told in American education because that's like admitting their involvement in the many atrocities.
You have to self study. Stay in the libraries, bookstores, and take a course in African Studies.
Neither is South East Asian or South American history, why would it be? Do you think they learn American history?
@@augustopinochet1670 we covered a pretty large swath of South American history, and modern but not ancient south East Asian history, probably because of the political import ascribed to them.
@@frana.4086 there’s an uncomfortable truth.
The legacy of colonialism is something I’m genuinely not sure how to confront.
I have been waiting for this forever. Great works @African Biographics This is one of the most painful death on the soils of Africa. Lumumba leaves on Great Son of Africa
Patrice Lumumba was African voice silenced by western colonial powers
He was afrcian voice propped up by soviet money
@@augustopinochet1670 so you admit the Soviets spoke of freedom and independence through him. That makes the Soviets allies of Africans.
@@36G Exactly.
@@augustopinochet1670 If the U.N gave him aid, he wouldnt have to do all that.
@@augustopinochet1670Had the UN simply agreed to help him, he wouldn't have had to do that
A true hero of African freedom from all forms of oppression and exploitation. His focus and approach frightened the racist fascist oppressors to assassinate him. Rest in eternal peace son of the Soil. Your legacy remains a shining flame to generations to come!
You are a really good RUclipsr! Thank you for telling Africa's story and putting It on the map.
Patrice Lumumba inspired the civil rights movement in America SNCC! I was a small kid listening to my uncles and their college friends speaking of liberation in America. I always thought Patrice Lumumba was a personal friend of theirs.
History repeats itself unfortunately. Hopefully we’ll progress together one day ❤
There is so much to learn about world history. Terrific content, pal. Bring more and more.
It took a while to fully watch and digest this video, what's going there now hurts so bad and yet again the continent of Africa failed the children of Congo. How our leaders go to sleep at night while Congo children die for resources that has never benefited them baffles me. It hurts so much because as an individual you feel helplessness.
How do you fully watch the video and not understand the tragedy that will inevitably befall any African leader standing in between the capitalist West and the natural resources they insatiably seek after?
Love from South America much respect to this man and Africa
Sorry I can not watch today's video because of what happened to Patrice, it haunts me every time I hear his name.
He's actually my Super hero.
I know!! Truly tragic. But for me, the saddest part is that Africa has learnt little from history. The African leadership has taken over the role of the colonialists and still getting rid of those who try to bring liberation for Africa. Truly tragic..
@@gracenjuguna7292 Leaders are still puppets of the Western world they selling us Africans out for their benefit neo colonialism it is
@@gracenjuguna7292 if you can read his last letter to his wife you'll also understand that he actually wrote it to all of us and warned us about those who've been bought.
He also gave us hope.
I feel you, same happens to me but I am watching with pain.
I have been ignoring it since it showed up cos I feel the same way but I've failed to resist
As a man of African descent here in the United Snakes of AmeriKKKa I have profound Respect for men such as Patrice Lumumba, Malcolm X (Brother Omawale)
Lol, that the good one ,United snakes 1🥰✌️👍
Both heroes. I feel the same way about Kwame Nkrumah, Thomas Sankara, Fidel Castro, and the Afro-Cuban soldiers that helped liberate Namibia from colonial apartheid rule. Incredible historical figures that should never be forgotten.
@@fubub3595 that's what it is, right?!!!...lol
@@jokerwick Long live Fidel...it was through reading that I found out the likes of, Huey Newton and Assata Shakur, sought refuge in Cuba!!!
@@shumonbrown5229 yes ,you right
I know little about African history, especially modern. Thank you for helping cover Africa’s rich history!
You are welcome
Anyone who has the courage to speak truth is my hero.
MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR CETTE PAGE SUR LE PLUS GRAND REVOLUTIONNAIRE NOIR AFRICAIN DE TOUS LES TEMPS, LE CONGOLAIS PATRICE EMERY LUMUMBA...
Fantastic video! Lumumba was a hero and should never be forgotten.
He was a murderer of his own people…..Go to the Congo and find the small villages where people remember his atrocities….Fake history and edited videos….
@@vonvanhoolandt4483interesting name, buddy. Feeling guilty?
@@saebelorn why would I feel guilty i was only six years old…The great patrice Lumumba was a mass murderer “his so called troops “ I always wondered how they stated he received %25 of the Congolese people’s votes …. I lived it you don’t know a thing about this mass murderer….Sure Russia supplied him with weapons…They even named a college after him….Why? Uranium and diamonds…..The Great Patrice who educated this man ? Everyone who is the present leader is following in his footsteps….Innocent villagers forced to work horrendous hours in very unsafe mines ? Why is this still going on to this very day….My sister was born in the Congo ! Where were you born ? How many of the old timers did you interview ??? Moscow got rid of his name of their university….If you didn’t live it than all the stories are written by people who most likely have never stepped a foot on one of the most beautiful countries on the planet..So keep writing about your unfaithful history…..
He wanted the best for his country and Africa as well. He is a true African. Western greed persists and Africa is falling. This system is nothing but a scam.
to say that africa doesnt also have greed would be dishonest.
Ironically its 😔 that Mobutu his trusted' friend'ends 👆 indirectly betraying him because of personal Greed before national interest for the people who suffered so much atrocities at the ✋ of the Belgians.Religiously speaking,easiest way to kill any 👪 nation ➗ them.Joseph sold by his blood brother's because of jealousy,Esau killed his brother...such is human nature.Having watched the 28:00+ video on how his covert operation was carried out,i really salute this Great leader who might have 😡 brought such difference in Africa.I Always wonder where such people will really go after this life,Pure Evil,worse than the Devil because with him,he is a' titled' son of Perdition but with them,im flabbergasted by their evil souls if they have any.Rest in peace,Sir,definitely they didnt touch you're spirit,you're a HERO hence investigation into today 12- April-2023! Aggrieved South African citizen.
Black history ❤ should be told. Great Man ❤
The biggest case study of American imperialism and greed is showcased in the Congo (DRC), through the way they (Eisenhower, Nixon & CIA) handled H.E. Patrice Lumumba
Yet Esseinhower is seen by many as a great President despite his horrible record of Amerikkkan imperialism. He was responsible for overthrowing Democratically elected Iranian leader,installed the Shah to be a puppet for the West,Iran has not recovered from that. Esseinhower also supported a coup in Guatemala to overthrow leftist leader and install a puppet so they can profit from their citrus fruit plantations there. When the Bay of Pigs invasion happened in Cuba during the early months of Kennedy administration,it had been the Eisenhower regime that had recruited Cuban exiles,trained them to plot the invasion. Kennedy only found out when it was in advanced stages and he was powerless to stop it,so he allowed it to happen,thankfully it failed. That’s Amerikkkan imperialism for you.
The shame is that President Esseinhower was no hero as you can see his record.People don't want to see the hypocrisy in these political leaders and the damage they done to freedom. Lumumba was a man of truth and greatness but was taken away by greed.
The Belgians did the most in the assassination of the great Lumumba. The US government played second fiddle. As long as you don't put the blame on who it really was, the Belgians, your comment is simple fodder. The Assassination of Lumumba by Ludo de Witte is a good start for those who think they know but don't.
He was a filthy communist who got what he deserved. How ignorant are you to think that the Soviet imperialism and the KGB wasn't just as influential?
@@augustopinochet1670 Fascist trol alert 🚨
Great channel, your videos have educated me on African history which was partially given to us in school
Oh God 🙄
To whoever who is sad don't be Patrice Lumumba's dream is alive and well he did not die for nothing and we who are Africans have studied his ways and are fulfilling his wishes on earth the East African Union is liberating Congo as we speak and Belgium is not a Colonial power Patrice your son's from all over Africa are alive and well your objektives will be meet whether they like it or not
😢😢😢😢 💔
I never really knew about Patrice until I started watching few videos. Watching this today really swelled my eyes with tears.
I felt no fear but pure anger.
How can any African leader fear the west or europe after knowing who Patrice was and what he stood for. Is Congo any better today ?.
😢😢😢😢
Viva Patrice Lumumba Vivaa✊🏿
It's sad that in the video, It's actually his own people binding and arresting him , what blindness😢...oh God
The true Sun of Africa,this african history tears roling my eyes whate a great leader love and respect from INDIA 💕💕❤️💖💜
In retrospect, those days if an African country was blessed with resources it was actually not a blessing but a curse.
It is a blessing ,but the mind set of those that are being attacked by a powerful enemy who refuse to unite but betray one another having a defeated mind ,that's the curse
Thanks for the unbiased content. As a Congolese, Lumumba was indeed our Moses [like I saw someone's comment], our hero but the imparialism didn't want the DRC to go forward by itself all these 'cause if greed of these western evils (sorry for the use of an explicit word, I'm so anxious and it's heartbreaking). May his soul rest in eternal peace!!!
You did an excellent job on this topic! Can we expect coverage on Julius Neyere? I'm sure I misspelled it. I think he was the first President of Tanzania.
Nyerere
Brilliant piece. Thank you!
Brave man, we feel his fight against westren imperialism here in the Balkans, respect to you mr. Lumumba. Love from Serbia.
Not like that soviet imperialism?
@@augustopinochet1670 Soviet union was just not an imperilistic country, but you would not know that, your nick is a western imperialistic nazi lapdog pinoche.
I remember watching a documentary about him. It’s absolutely horrible and disgusting how they did him. I truly believe the country would have been better off with him as their leader
The same things happened to those of the past, the same things happened to this present day but in different fashions.
The African continent's (and the WORLD'S) most intriguing "what if" scenario, in my personal opinion. Imagine if Patrice Lumumba's vision for a completely independent, self actualized, and UNITED (!) Africa was allowed to manifest itself...
Another very good and well researched video.
We celebrate our radical African revolutionaries and rightly so but we shouldn't forget that their revolutionary zeal and idealism is one of the reason why some African countries are so messed up...what if Lumumba didn't have great speeches but was boring and patient? Independence might have been delayed for five or so years allowing for the training of an officer Corp and civil service and that may have set Congo on the right track after all in the long run...Lumumbas zeal and charisma may have rallied crowds but people don't eat zeal and charisma....
Without influencing the masses they would do as their told through western influence. His words were necessary to spark critical thinking among his people.
Rest in power forever ,and peace ✌️
Mr Lumumba was a Martyr!!
He died for the People!!
Revelation 17:6
[6]And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
It’s sad that he learned too late that the un was only in the Kongo for themselves
All it takes is just 1 brave voice to speak up against the hypocrisy and other atrocities to plant the seeds for freedom and liberation from tyranny and imperialism. Lumumba was a great man, and it is a pity he is not alive today to witness the evolution of Africa. 🙏🏽
Salute my brother, you are great and appreciated @AfricanBiographics
The Belgian King has no shame in praising his bro for contributing much to Congo, stealing its resources, chopping off people's hands😁
The great Belgian handjob
A true leader and thanks you 🙏🏽💯
found your channel the other day and went through all your videos looking for this one! your content is excellent thank you!
Thank you
I wholeheartedly agree!
Whenever I hear this story. I feel very very sad
rest in peace righteous son of Africa
One of my youthful hero's ✊
This channel is gold. Happy to subscribe.
I don't know much about the Congo so I'm looking forward to this video thank you
The Americans Belgians and all the Congolese including Mobutu should have been drag before the Hague tried and either imprisoned or executed for the demise of a gigantic Congolese patriot! And until today the Democratic Republic of Congo is still reeling from this mishap!
lol yeah i'm sure socialism would of worked out there and not led to widespread death and misery, like everywhere elese
Great respect from kenya. Long live the King
I have never heard of him. Thank you
Cobalt mining exploits is the new form of struggle they endure. Majority of the workers are children. People complain about slavery of the past and do nothing about it today.
These are wonderful videos you create; you’ve earned a subscriber! This greatly helps (albeit doesn’t complete) my understanding of Africans’ glowing view of Patrice Lumumba.
It's because he was honest. At a time when everyone was expected to pretend that grievous horrors had been forgotten, he never stayed silent. He paid for it with his life. Very few honest people remain.
They may have stopped this man, but no one can stop his ideas or the country he loved.
Lumumba was brilliantly showing African men how to stand up to the Western Capitalists, and of course Exceptional America couldn't stand for that.
Standing up to Western Capitalists while on his knees for Soviet marxists
@@augustopinochet1670 So he should be allied to the West not the most supportive nation.
His own friends and people betrayed him definitely a hero. You lot know accurate biography about him I can read
I really enjoyed the film by Raoul Peck. The actor looked remarkably like Lumumba. They always kill the people who want to change things.
It’s sad that every African hero assassinated was betrayed by another African…
May his memory be a blessing 🙏 to all Africans ❤❤
The first time I hear of this.
Thank you.
How i wish Patrice Lumumba had been more careful and possibly read Sun Tzu the art of war
First comment That i feel it's really Genius
No matter what you read of another culture ,if you can't get rid of the trailers amongst you like Castro did and Mau Mau did in China then ,you will get nowere
We do not need knowledge from outsiders.
@@Kolesha sure.
I cried so much during this video. Thank you African Biographics for creating an informative space where Africans can empower each other to continue fighting against oppression!
Some people are wicked.
Thank you for this historical education. God bless you Sir
Great patriotic African leader.
We can only thank God for giving us this fearless african leaders whoz love for their country n freedom was outmost may God remember them wherever they are without them we uld still b in bondage.
One of the few figures in African history that seemed to be both a martyr and untouched by the corrupt nepotism that plagued so many. Some say he wanted to play both sides of those in the Cold War, but he urged for neutrality and I think he was genuine in that. I doubt he was the next Messiah by any means but his record seems less besmirched that so many of that region who chose to use the trust of the public to vie for just an ounce more of power, putting them higher than most of the other crabs, but still lingering, far away from the mouth of the barrel. His advocation for the unification of Africans, like so many others, was what probably led to his assassination. Africa is much more profitable to colonizers if horrors like Rwanda and such happen on an iterative enough basis such that every native is wrecked with paranoia and malnourishment. Hopefully, something will break that cycle.
God will judge all of these atrocities.The descendants of these people will know mo peace.A lesson to all African people and leaders.
A very small detail, but thank you very much for naming the 2 men that were murdered with him🙏🏿❤
Oh my! I have learnt a lot watching all these documentaries on the struggle of African leaders that tried to liberate Africa! So sad!
Patrice Lamumba lives forever.❤
Than God for the advancement of technology and social media platforms. Being a blk man in the USA. This African history of a great black leader in Africa being plotted against and murdered by evil powers that be,. Thanks for bringing this archived history to the forefront of minds that seek education in light of a dark history
What a moving history of our brothers who fought for freedom
What a great man and sacrifice Patrice Lumumba made! When black men in particular Stop killing each other, we as a race will win! Lioness Kush Lumumba ( my name was changed a few years ago to reflect my support of Patrice and his vision for Afrika ❤)
Long live the Independence movements of Africa!
Patrice Lumumba was a truly and exceptional leader ,imagine what the Congo would have become.
Am always very sad about his death and all that was done on his He is my Hero on African Soil
African countries stronger as they unite 👍👍👍👍👍
A necessary video! The developed world was built over exploiting the "underdeveloped" world.
Another great video and awesome material!
A sad story of a young courageous man....I've watched this 10x,still sad. History will never forget Lumumba.
I am so sad and angry, this frustration of a young educated man, trying to share the greater picture, a big vision of a great Africa, expecially Congo with all its huge natural resources. Looking at Ghana celebrating their independence, filled with hope for the independence of his own country, but instead ending up being killed brutally by your own people, your OWN. Worse than that, his friend Mubutu, the one he trusted and gave charge over the Army, ended up getting one with the West, doing this. I don't want to see or talk about Lumumba again, I have realized it makes me angry and sad
