Patrice Lumumba died 48 years ago. The first Prime Minister of independent Congo, father of the country, an ideal that inspires dreams never realized and achieved independence from Belgium, just three months after he was deposed from his office, then stop by the then Colonel Mobutu was made and executed January 17, 1961 .
declassified U.S. documents and the testimony of a former CIA agents long held that the murder of Lumumba was ordered and planned in full coordination with U.S. intelligence, that ill-digested a nationalist leader who wanted to expand dangerous communist ideas in the heart of black Africa.
With an official ceremony at the monument dedicated to him, the "Father of the Nation" was celebrated today by the Congolese President Kabila in the lead. But who knows what they think of Lumumba, today if they saw the work and if he knew how to be reduced, and sold off its rich, very poor country.
