La mémoire de #patriceLumumba résiste à l’annihilation occidentale
https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/international/050826/la-memoire-de-patrice-lumumba-resiste-l-annihilation-occidentale
Soixante-cinq ans après l’assassinat de Patrice Lumumba, aucun responsable belge impliqué n’a été jugé. Le 18 mai 2026, la mort du mis en cause Étienne Davignon, 93 ans, a définitivement clos la procédure ouverte à Bruxelles à la suite d’une plainte déposée en 2011 par les enfants de l’ancien premier ministre congolais contre dix personnes.

World Cup Moment #2: Lumumba Lives!
https://world-outlook.com/2026/07/18/world-cup-moment-2-lumumba-lives/from #WorldOutlook July 18, 2026
At the #WorldCup on Tuesday [June 23, 2026] — a man in a red suit stood completely still for 90 minutes in the stands. Then he covered his mouth and used two fingers to simulate pointing a gun to his head….His name is Michel Kuka Mboladinga — known as “Lumumba Vea,” which means “Lumumba Lives.” For more than a decade he has stood motionless at every DR [Democratic Republic] Congo match — suit and tie, arm raised — as a living tribute to #PatriceLumumba, the first Prime Minister of an independent Congo. This story provides historical background on who killed #Lumumba and why.

On June 30, 1960, Patrice Lumumba stood before King Baudouin of Belgium and delivered an Independence Day speech that shattered the fiction of Belgian colonial benevolence. Instead of thanking the colonial power, he spoke of forced labour, racial humiliation and systematic violence. Six months later, he was assassinated.

Por qué mataron a Patrice Lumumba
Georges Nzongola-NtalajaTraducción: Pedro Perucca El Chasque2/07/2026 Patrice Lumumba fue un líder radical del movimiento independentista congoleño que se opuso al colonialismo belga y a los intereses corporativos. Por eso fue asesinado en un golpe de Estado respaldado por Estados Unidos en enero de 1961. Nacido el 2 de julio de 1925, Patrice Émery Lumumba fue un líder anticolonialista radical que se convirtió en el primer primer ministro de un Congo recién independizado a la edad de treinta y cinco años. Siete meses después de asumir el cargo, el 17 de enero de 1961, fue asesinado. […]https://elchasque.com/2026/07/02/por-que-mataron-a-patrice-lumumba/

“Gone too soon at 93 – no, really
A former Belgian diplomat charged
for the 1961 murder of Congolese
leader Patrice Lumumba has died
before he could stand trial. Étienne
Davignon was accused of involvement
in Lumumba’s unlawful detention
and transfer to Katanga Province
before his assassination by Belgian-
backed rebels. Lumumba’s killing
remains one of the most significant
political assassinations of the post-
colonial era and a lasting indictment
on Belgium’s colonial history. The
93-year-old, who denied wrongdoing,
was the last surviving suspect in the
Belgian investigation into the murder.
No consequences: No Belgian will now ever
stand trial for killing Patrice Lumumba.”

None of which have managed to reconcile with their part in African history. I’m not sure any of those countries, Belgium included, ever will.

"The Belgian court’s decision is a poor substitute for a true reckoning. The accused nonagenarian, Mr. Davignon, was a bit player in the events. He is the sole survivor among a list of a dozen or so Belgian officials whom the #Lumumba family alleges bore responsibility for Mr. Lumumba’s death."
