        naming a square decades too late while still exploiting DRC’s resources and keeping it dirt poor? Shameless Belgium!

        What this article forgets to mention is that Lumumba was overthrown with the blessing if not the orders from the US to protect their source of uranium and avoid the creation of a communist state in central Africa.

        Yeah they can get fucked...along with the US. They overthrew, killed and destabilised a whole nation but think that naming a square after him while still exploiting the DRC today is enough?!? Yeah miss me with all this bs 🙄😒

        I wonder when the U.S. will make amends considering they were complicit.

        "Jailed and helped overthrow"...umm...he was also taken hostage and tortured by members of that government before they killed him and disposed of his body in acid...all for being African and democratically elected. Convenient to leave that little chestnut out, though...
