"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."

De familie van de vermoorde Congolese premier #PatriceLumumba reageert opgelucht op de doorverwijzing van minister van staat #EtienneDavignon (93) naar de correctionele rechtbank. De voormalige topdiplomaat zal zich moeten verantwoorden voor betrokkenheid bij #oorlogsmisdaden. "Dit is historisch", zegt kleinzoon Yvan Lumumba. "Maar we blijven voorzichtig."

Belgian court weighs trial for ex-diplomat over [Patrice] Lumumba killing (Radio France Internationale, 2026-01-20)
>> Some 65 years after Lumumba was executed and his body dissolved in acid by separatists with the help of mercenaries from former colonial power Belgium, only one ex-official is still alive to face justice.
>> The killing of Lumumba ... is one of the many dark chapters in the grim history of Belgian involvement in what became modern-day Democratic Republic of Congo.
>> "Refusing this trial would amount to definitively confirming the impunity for major colonial crimes," said Christophe Marchand, a lawyer for the family.
>> The court is expected to deliver its decision on whether to hold a trial within weeks. Marchand said he hopes it would then take place in early 2027.

If you're interested in #Africa #History #UN #Jazz it's really worth your time.
If you want to better understand what happened when #Congo "tried" #Independence from #Belgium in 1960, how USA conspired to kill #PatriceLumumba and why there was a war in #Katanga, then there's a lot in this documentary, while listening to good music.

Dokumentarfilmperle – „Soundtrack für einen Staatsstreich“ (2024)
Es beginnt mit einer Jazznummer. Kein Vorspann, kein erklärender Off-Kommentar. Stattdessen: Trommeln, Bläser, flackernde Schwarzweißbilder – und plötzlich sind wir mittendrin im Jahr 1960. In Kongo. Afrika im Kalten Krieg. In einem Netz aus kolonialer Gier, geopolitischer Intrige und kultureller Täuschung. Ein fantastisch gemachter und unbedingt sehenswerter Dokumentarfilm! (ARTE)

🕊️ When Geneva printed Katanga’s banknotes—and distrusted Lumumba.
On Oct 2, 1960, RTS aired a rare interview with Patrice Lumumba, just ousted as Congo’s PM. Aligned with the USSR, he worried Western powers backing Katanga’s secession.
Marie Wicht revisits this Cold War episode using RTS archives and Swiss diplomatic records.

"The colonialists care nothing for Africa for her own sake. They are attracted by African riches and their actions are guided by the desire to preserve their interests in Africa against the wishes of the African people. For the colonialists all means are good if they help them to possess these riches." — #PatriceLumumba #BlackHistory

"The colonialists have campaigned against me throughout the country because I am a revolutionary and demand the abolition of the colonial regime, which ignored our human dignity. They look upon me as a Communist because I refused to be bribed by the imperialists." — #PatriceLumumba #BlackHistory
