Shocking Documentary on Patrice Lumumba

CBC Newsworld had produced eight-Part series on Political assassinations which examines some of the world's most horrific political murders of the second half of the 20th century. The series takes an in-depth look at murders that changed the course of world history and forces viewers to consider some startling questions: Who benefited or was protected by these murders? What role did governments or government agencies play in these murders? Are there conspiracies to suppress the truth? POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS looks at these assassinations in light of new evidence, little known facts, and through vivid re-enactments and interviews with first hand witnesses.

In this series one documentary is on Patrice Lumumba. The interviews of the murder witness and murders can shocks you. When u hear the interview of Belgian agent saying

"i have chopped the dead body of lumumba into small pieces. we don't want to show his dead body to the public. so we burnt his body, then i brought Sulphuric Acid and put the remaining parts in it. we ensured nothing remains.." The cruelty of colonial rulers and CIA has no limits.

The film will surely shocks you.......

Patrice Lumumba was an African anti-colonial leader, and the first legally elected Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo. But for western powers he was a threat. It was at the height of the Cold War, and Congo was vital to Western interests because of its vast mineral resources. CIA agent Larry Devlin received 100,000 dollars from the Agency along with telegraphed instructions to make the "elimination of Lumumba" the "priority goal" of his covert action.

Only ten weeks later, Lumumba's government was deposed an army coup, inspired by the West. Colonel Mobutu, the key figure in the coup, supported by the Congo's former colonial power, Belgium, and the CIA, became the Congo's ruler.

In the early December, 1960, Patrice Lumumba and two of his Ministers were killed by members of the Belgian Secret Service. None of the murderers - or the men behind them - has ever been indicted, but Lumumba's voice still echoes throughout Africa today.
