YappariThe story of Patrice Lumumba, leader of #Congo, killed during the cold war by #Belgium and the CIA.
“The Congolese people will gain little from prosecuting a man who drafted cables.
What would actual atonement look like? For Belgium, it would entail a forthright apology and an admission of institutional responsibility. For the United States, it could mean the same, as well as investing in Congo’s governance, its institutions and its people, instead of merely racing to secure its cobalt.“
