Patrice Lumumba’s Struggle Against Belgian Imperialism

The struggle of Patrice Rumba against Imperialism in Belgium is difficult to believe that imperialism is still in the world in 2002, but it is. Imperialism is a policy to expand the territory and power of the country by dominating other countries. An example of modern imperialism is Congo. At the Berlin meeting in 1885, major European countries split the majority of Africa into Africa and they approved the sole power of Leopold II of King Belgium to Congo, which is 75 times the size of Belgium.

On June 30, 1960, Joseph Kasavubu and Patric Lumumba became President of the Congo and Prime Minister of Belgium. After the independence of Congo there was a power struggle between Casabu and Rumba. On September 14, 1960, Congolese army staff chief Joseph Mobuts intervened in a military struggle and arrested Lumumba. Mobutu returned power to Casaboo in 1961. In August 1964, the country was renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 1965, Mobutu took office as president, using the age of political crisis. In 1970, Mobutu established his revolutionary people movement (MPR) and became the only party in the Congo. On 27th October 1971, Mobutu changed the country name to the Zaire Republic, and in 1973 he announced a "Zaire" policy to allow the government to detain 2,000 foreign-funded enterprises.

1960 Congo: Patrice Rumba, the first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was expelled by President of the Congo, Joseph Kasab, under Belgian military intervention supported by the United States. Please work hard. Maintaining business interests in Belgium after the colonization of the country However, Lumumba maintains opposition to the Army against the Belgian army, and after approaching the supply of the Soviet army, the government has newly established Joseph Mobutz Judging that it poses a threat to the government, it will be the target of the CIA. Lumumba was arrested at the end of 1960 and was murdered in January of the following year.

Malcolm X once called Congo's independent leader Patrice Lumumba "the greatest black who has never walked the continent in Africa." Rumba led the anti-dominant movement, kicking out the dominant Belgian from the Congo, becoming the first elected leader in the country. America thought of Lumumba, immediately killed him and assassinated it (I understood that it is wrong to say that it is the quality of the Soviet Union). Belgians led conspiracy against Le Mumba, but the US is an optional participant. When he was finally arrested, he suffered torture and murder. In order to prevent the public from understanding this crime, he painted acid so that his body would disappear. As the assassin ran out of this material, they crushed their bodies, hacked them, crushed their bodies to pieces, and later interspersed the ruins in an area named after Rumumba It was. There was a conflict for more than 50 years. His murder was called "the most important political assassination of the 20th century."
