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...

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.

Acknowledging their bad deed is the right thing to do but they also need to be punished for it.

Actionable apologies should be centuries of repayment to the Congolese population and economy.
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.
@@kenny4459 yep...the CIA together with the Government of Belgium conspired to murder Patrice lumumba & put a puppet president submissive to their interests.
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.
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.

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.
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
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
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

A single tooth. This is painful to even hear much less even see about the atrocity that this man, his family, and the country has gone through. Belgium needs to atone for its past. A verbal apology isn't enough.

His tragic end and the circumstances surrounding his assassination left an enduring impact on Congo’s history, which has continued to struggle with political instability and violence long after his death.
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.
You can only imagine what they did to him and how much his suffered. This is why I carry myself as if he is watching me, watching to see if his death amounted to something.

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
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
Lumumba allegedly said to Belgian king's face, after the fiery speech: "we are no longer your monkeys." Lumumba was correct about the "[not] your" part. Incorrect about the rest. The ongoing events in the Congo and Africa overall have proven it so, many times over.
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?
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.
The story of Lumumba will never be forgotten!

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.
Patrice Lumumba will always be remembered for the great man he was. One of Africa’s giants.
The more I learn about this history the more intense and austere my hatred grows toward these racists
The people pushing him to the truck are HIS people 🤦🏾♂️
His tragic end and the circumstances surrounding his assassination left an enduring impact on Congo’s history, which has continued to struggle with political instability and violence long after his death.
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.
You can only imagine what they did to him and how much his suffered. This is why I carry myself as if he is watching me, watching to see if his death amounted to something.
How about returning the wealth and natural resources they stole from Congo e.g. gold and diamond????
So sad 😭
Ironic that Brussels is the HQ of both NATO and the EU. The imperial spirit of King Leopold II lives in both.
After sixty years they returned his remains.
How evil are the colonizers 😢
All of the so-called great nations were built on these kinds of actions
Belgians are enjoying
Great Man!❤
I first heard about him in 2008 from a taxi driver in Tajikistan who said there was a university named after him.
The blood stains on Belgium is too much. Leopald and his gang
Their day will come
@@Samuelkings Who's day exactly? Im from Belgium.
@@jed1mindtricks857 your day, and for the evil your ancestors have, and continues to perpetrate
GOD bless this man’s beautiful, fearless, heart and soul. May his memory and strength be forever remembered. He was a HERO to the people of DRC. ❤❤❤🤲🏻🙏
The painful part was the killing was done by Africans 💀🤦🏽♀️
M16*
No witch it was carried out by Belgium’s
The arrogance and criminality of the Belgian colonialist regime has no bounds.
So sad !
good men never die, lumumba's name will live on forever as a man that stood on bussiness
Murdered!
They have to pay.
What's ghe difference between expressing regret and apologising?
It’s said to see the clips of the man’s own people turning him over to be executed smh..
Millions worth wealth is taken and the tooth of Lumuba is given back to congo
Woow great
Thank you Belgium
How wicked people can be, the enemy uses your own people
Let him be an inspiration to all❤
Lumuba is the real hero for all Africans he showed us that the most important thing in life is to believed in public interest
You will all pay the heaviest price for these injustices!
🇹🇷We are here, we will come for you...
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,!,,🤔😏😒🙄
Belgium should come out and apologise for this.
Is that really how you see Lumumba !? What a statu
Thank you Lumumba 😢
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 do you mean they took their spirits and gods?
the west was soo cruel...
And still it is so cruel with even stealing Africa's natural resources
Humans are deeply flawed
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
Cannot wait to the final judgment, someone will pay....
Africans it’s high time we read and understand the book of Deuteronomy 28:1-68 for ourselves 👊🏿✍🏿🩹
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.
Lumumba allegedly said to Belgian king's face, after the fiery speech: "we are no longer your monkeys." Lumumba was correct about the "[not] your" part. Incorrect about the rest. The ongoing events in the Congo and Africa overall have proven it so, many times over.
This is a real real evils 😈 deeds as far as humanity is concerned 😟 🤔.
never forget
An African Heroe of all time
Lumumba was an incompetent fool. He was responsible for the Congo crisis, which resulted in 100,000 dead. He does not deserve to be remembered.
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?
So 😭😭😭
............and the sick part is all who were involved went unpunished
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.
