Lumumba a forgotten hero. Belgium an international embarrassment. After 64 years of thorns what to do?
Congo, the world‘s largest producer of cobalt, an ore essential for the aviation industry, also has nuclear ores with remarkable energy potential. This country is rich in tantalum and niobium, which are essential for the manufacture of space rocket heads. It is abundant in gold, uranium, tin, zinc, cassiterite, manganese, petroleum, coltan, of which it is the world‘s largest producer. DRC‘s uranium propelled humanity into the atomic age, ending World War II.
Congo is also the world‘s largest producer of industrial diamonds, producing 40% of germanium and being the fourth largest producer of copper. It has lithium and radium, rare and highly sought-after materials. The DRC has deposits of almost every known metal in the world and fabulous unexploited resources. It has the world‘s first forest in terms of tree spaces, capable of producing pharmaceuticals thanks to its biodiversity.
Its fertile soil accepts all kinds of seeds. Despite its lakes, parks, rivers, oceans and rivers, the population lives in extreme poverty, due to the disconnected management of political actors from the realities of the country.
Democracy is trapped and the political class is marked by great irresponsibility. Political parties are made up of a web of feudal spiders and parasites, protecting the interests of Westerners. Politicians are often mercenaries of U. S. imperialism, hence the misery and famine in the country.
Here is the correction of the text: 64 years of ignorance, ambiguity, irrationality, amateurism, ignorance of the political history of the country by political actors, democracy of traitors and rebellions in favor of Westerners, have led to 64 years of national shame, as the country struggles to take off.
Frantz Fanon said: “Africa has the shape of a revolver, but the trigger is in the Congo. With Congo‘s gold alone, we can have an African bank to launch Africa into the orbit of emancipation and sustainable development. ”
American imperialism is ready to support all the lowlands in Congo to better control our politics and our wealth. This is the reason for our people‘s ordeal. The selection of members of the government is made with random and magical criteria. Everything is done in the form of a lottery in any scheme. Here is another problem to solve. An electoral law with a threshold to trap democracy. Ministers with dubious backgrounds often become masters of constituencies.
A minister is elected as a municipal councillor, a national MP, a provincial MP, a senator, he enters the government to leave a cousin in the national assembly, a big sister or aunt in the senate, the uncle as governor, himself a golden place in government. This is the bleak spectacle of a trapped democracy. A poorly assimilated Western democracy. Provinces are led by ministers by proxy.
Friends, cousins, cousins, grand-cousins in the Cabinets of Ministers, the blood of those who died for the political independence of the DRC is openly mocked. The DRC with its 64 years of independence is a national disgrace. Diggers of national destiny find themselves in the government to leave their families in the national assembly, the senate, the governorates. Our provinces have now become the private shops of millionaire ministers.
Governors govern by proxy. In Kinshasa, handover and resuming take place between the outgoing governor and entering the village languages in a hotel room here in Kinshasa, away from the heads of the provinces. It is a national disgrace, impossible to stand such a political comedy.
Was Lumumba murdered to experience such a bleak spectacle and great humiliation of Congo? Why is the president a one-level candidate in presidential elections but those who claim to support his policies turn the country into their private companies? The public treasury becomes a coffer not of the people, but to take care of the families of MPs, a national disgrace. 64 years of ignorance, ambiguity, irrationality, amateurism and contempt for the principles of democracy.
A potentially rich country, but the population lives in poverty because of individuals without any political line, who often sit in institutions to bleed the public treasury. A political class paralyzed by corruption and incompetence. You get surrounded by police officers as if being a minister, you become more special and extraordinary citizens, a national disgrace. We like to call ourselves excellence, but the record is often poor. Thieves everywhere, here‘s the 64-year-old toll. Today, June 30, 2024, 64 years of independence, we pay tribute to a forgotten hero, Patrice Emery Lumumba.
Forgotten in his country, but become a star who casts his light to enlighten just and respected nations. It is a symbol of good governance. He is big and his music crosses oceans and borders of continents. On June 30, I must celebrate Lumumba because it is a story of the glory and dignity of our people. He‘s the compass of many of the world‘s oppressed. His name is everywhere in stamps, streets, universities, museums, schools and neighborhoods. In Asia, Europe, America and several African nations, Lumumba is a figure of honour and dignity.
A potentially rich country, but the population lives in poverty because Lumumba was endowed with exceptional dynamism, a man of indomitable courage, unwavering tenacity who believed in his destiny and in the development of Africa, our motherland. It was wood of which the chiefs are made. With the beatings he received, the cabal he faced, the attacks and slanders he suffered night and day, another politician in his place, would have been shaken, but endured all these trials with courage and energy.
At no time, even on the way to his cross in Katanga, did he think of giving up his struggle for the establishment of socialism in the Congo for the benefit of our people. He wanted economic independence to allow the Congolese people to enjoy their wealth. His moving testament letter helps us to continue his political struggle with so many thorns, but in perseverance we believe in a new Congo to get rid of savage and barbaric capitalism once and for all.
Lumumba remains the legal prime minister of the independent Congo, so he deserves this podium of honor on the historic day of June 30. It deserves to be taught in our schools and universities. His intelligence was brilliant, he was and remains above all an active conscience. A politician of unfailing loyalty, his patriotism is lucid and fervent, it is a political current that must be taught for the political education of Congolese politicians.
Lumumba is characterized by the absence of vanity, a man with a generous heart, from the love of the homeland to the supreme sacrifice, the unity of the people, the spirit of firmness of views, the passion of Africa and humanity, faith in the homeland and self-giving. A people ignorant of their political history is blind in power and in action, so I celebrate Lumumba because he is part of the glorious history of our nation.
He is the father of Congolese independence. Author of economic independence sabotaged by Belgium. From Mobutu, Joseph Kabila and Félix Tshisekedi, no Lumumba children in the government, this is a serious political fault that must be rectified. Mzee Laurent Désiré Kabila had placed in his government Justine Kasavubu and Juliana Lumumba Amato, this for a good reconstruction of the political history of independent Congo.
Lumumba today is a forgotten hero in his country, yet his name is mentioned all over the world and can be a source of blessing for the diplomacy of our country, the DRC. Lumumba weighs on the conscience of Westerners and heroes of nations liberated from Western domination. It is an added value to the oppressed of the world. Not honoring Lumumba in DRC is a mistake and an ignorance of the political history of this continental nation.
It should be emphasized that the policy of blind submission to Westerners is a factor of ignorance and political blindness. The West has played a disastrous role in the tragedy of the DRC from 1885 until today. Lumumba reinforces the myth even though he is dead. It vibrates in the sun among the righteous nations. It symbolizes the rejection of imperialist domination. Lumumba was the first Congolese to hold a directorship under the colonial regime.
First Congolese to have lived in a white residential area in Gombe. First Congolese to write a political essay. First Congolese political leader to advocate for the education of Congolese women and black women. First black to speak at the International Exhibition of Belgium in 1958. First Congolese political leader to found a trans-ethnic political party.
The first politician to vulgarize the word independence. The first Congolese politician to think in terms of national unity. The first to hold a popular political meeting to demand the Belgian-Congolese round table to speed up the process of political independence of Congo. First political leader to invite the Congolese people to civil disobedience against the colonial order. First Congolese political leader to hold a conference at the Official University of the Congo. First Third World leader to stay at Blair House. The first citizen of the world to have broken relations with the UN in the name of the sovereignty of the peoples.
It remains the history of the struggle of the oppressed for the emancipation of man and colonized nations. I have the right to celebrate this charismatic giant because he is great. Shame on the Belgian government. Sabotaging our independence until supporting the Balkanization of the country in the 60s. International shame on Belgium for being complicit in the agreements between Rwanda and the European Union to plunder the DRC‘s wealth.
Belgium has betrayed the DRC at every stage of human history. Why does Belgium not tell the West the truth, namely that the agreements with Rwanda violate international law? Agreements are signed with a thief of Congo‘s wealth, an active participation of the European Union in the plundering of Congo‘s wealth. This is a real betrayal of Belgium towards the Congolese people. After sabotaging the economic round table, Belgium continues its betrayal.
No nation in the world has been betrayed like the DRC. The West wants to divide the DRC with the complicity of Belgium. What has the DRC not yet given to Belgium to hide behind Rwanda in satanic agreements to plunder the DRC‘s wealth? Nanga Corneille talks about the independence of the DRC while he is with Rwanda to sabotage the national sovereignty and integrity of the country.
It is necessary to avoid speeches by politicians without an ideology or a fair political line. Nanga Corneille and the other traitors cannot talk about independence because they want to liquidate our nation for the benefit of Western multinationals. Nanga Corneille is an unworthy son of our nation and must be viewed with contempt, disdain and horror. A traitor cannot address the nation on our Independence Day.
The traitors will soon be subjected to the rigor of the law. Only punishment, capital punishment to teach other traitors. Every Congolese must become Wazalendo because it is a way of defending our independence and national sovereignty.
64 years of independence, the government must leave the discourse table to embark on the policy of industrialization and we will talk about independence. The political class must now demand economic independence to meet the multiple needs of our people. 64 years old, but the politician is a problem to solve.
We can‘t trust the Congolese politician? Why so many unjust causes in our society with so many university graduates in our society? How many university graduates in 1960? How was the country headed in the right direction until independence with men of integrity and integrity?
The Congolese politician today is a big problem to solve. For Lumumba, Congo must remain the center of radiation for all of Africa. What kind of politician are we going to radiate Africa with? My regrets. Stand up Congolese people to defend your country. There is no such thing as independence, only struggle liberates.
Long live independence.
Tribute to our immortal hero Emery Patrice Lumumba.
Homeland or death, we will win!

General Secretary of the Congolese Communist Party, the lion with a red heart.
