55(P) - Patrice Lumumba & What's Become of The Democratic Republic of the Congo (Patreon)

Milton Allimadi (@Allimadi) of BlackStarNews joins us again to discuss Patrice Lumumba and the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Congo's struggle for independence and Lumumba as the first and perhaps only democratically-elected leader of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lumumba's death at the hands of US-supported Mobutu. Mobutu's use of spectacle and role in undermining African independence struggles. Post-Mobutu bloodshed in the Congo and fights over the Congo's resources.
