Nijel's "Patrice Lumumba: The Vision, The Legacy"
Patrice Emery Lumumba
(July 2, 1925 - January 17, 1961)
The first freely elected Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Beloved by his people, Lumumba was assassinated by western interests because
he believed that the Congo's vast mineral wealth should be used,
first and foremost, to benefit the people of the Congo.
