The barbaric assassination of Patrice Lumumba of Congo

 Patrice Lumumba was Congo 's first democratically elected president in 1960.Patrice Lumumba wanted the country's mineral wealth to stay inside the Congo for the benefit of its people..And in a matter of months in 1060,the U.S,Belgium,France and even stakeholders at the U.N. had conspired to assassinate him,chop him to pieces and dissolve him in acid and replace him with a bloody dictator ,Joseph Mobutu,who would keep the minerals flowing to the West,and particularly not the Soviet Union.-CBC,The Current,March 3,2023.

                           Patrice Lumumba's body was never recovered and the world must never forget nor forgive this barbaric murder.Western nations are complicit in the environmental degradation and exploitation of the Congo for its vast mineral resources.

                              Patrice Lumumba's murder was even more barbaric than the murder of Saudi American journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey.
