Speeches and selected writing by Lumumba.

Stevenson's speech, and the spectacular disturbance in the gallery, were both touched off by the death, in Katanga, the day before, of Patrice Lumumba.

Third, there were those ( notably Patrice Lumumba ) who favored a unified Congo with a very strong central government.

The president, Joseph Kasavubu, seemed an able administrator and the premier, Patrice Lumumba, a reasonable man.

The wildly erratic nature of Patrice Lumumba caused constant problems -- he frequently announced that he wanted the U.N. to get out of the Congo along with the Belgians, and appealed to Russia for help.

In February the murder of Patrice Lumumba, who had been kidnaped into Katanga and executed on order of Tshombe, again stirred the U.N. to action.

Most modern assassinations have been committed either during a public performance or during transport, both because of weaker security and security lapses, such as with U. S. President John F. Kennedy and former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, or as part of coups d ' état where security is either overwhelmed or completely removed, such as with Patrice Lumumba and likely Salvador Allende.

In 1964, Cuba supported the Simba Rebellion of adherents of Patrice Lumumba in Congo-Leopoldville ( present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo ).

Parliamentary elections in 1960 produced the nationalist Patrice Lumumba as prime minister and pro-Western Joseph Kasavubu as president of the renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo.

From the day of the arguably ill-prepared independence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the tensions between the powerful leaders of the political elite, such as Joseph Kasa Vubu, Patrice Lumumba, Moise Tshombe, Joseph Mobutu and others, jeopardize the political stability of the new state.

It was also, arguably, in the first steps of the Congo into independence, the underlying cause of the crisis between Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and President Joseph Kasa Vubu, who ultimately dismissed each other, in 1960.

Patrice Émery Lumumba ( 2 July 1925 – 17 January 1961 ) was a Congolese independence leader and the first legally elected Prime Minister of the Republic of the Congo after he helped win its independence from Belgium in June 1960.

The image of Patrice Lumumba continues to serve as an inspiration in contemporary Congolese politics.

Patrice Lumumba was married to Pauline Lumumba and had five children ; François was the eldest followed by Patrice Junior, Julienne, Roland and Guy-Patrice Lumumba.

Lumumba and his team represented the MNC at the All-African Peoples ' Conference in Accra, Ghana, in December 1958.

A graduate of the Saint Joseph Institute and the first native African employee of the Congo Central Bank, Adoula, with Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Iléo, founded the Mouvement National Congolais in 1958.

In 1958, together with Cyrille Adoula and Joseph Ileo, Lumumba founded the Mouvement National Congolais ( MNC ), a national independence party intended to be non-tribal.

However, as Kalb points out in her book, Congo Cables, the record shows that many communications by Devlin at the time urged elimination of Lumumba ( p. 53, 101, 129 – 133, 149 – 152, 158 – 159, 184 – 185, 195 ).

Denard served for two years in the Congo battling Simba rebels supporters of the late Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba, who had been murdered in Katanga in 1961 after having been overthrown by rival politicians and severely tortured while in transit.

It has been alleged but never proved that, fearing Lumumba's increasing popularity amongst the soldiers who might release him ( soldier mutinies and unrest increased by the day at prison camp Hardy in Thysville ), Harold d ' Aspremont Lynden ( Belgian minister for African Affairs ) sent a highly confidential telegram on January 16, 1961 to the government in Léopoldville ( Kasavubu and Mobutu ) to send Lumumba to Katanga.

After the assassination of Lumumba in 1961, Antoine Gizenga installed a government that competed with the central government in Leopoldville ( now Kinshasa ).
