On March 18, 1977 President Ngouabi was assassinated.

A number of people were accused of shooting Ngouabi tried and some of them executed, including former President Alphonse Massemba-Débat, but there was little evidence to prove their involvement, and the motive behind the assassination remains unclear.

Marien Ngouabi ( or N ' Gouabi ) ( December 31, 1938 – March 18, 1977 ) was the military President of the Republic of the Congo from January 1, 1969 to March 18, 1977.

Marien Ngouabi was born in 1938 at Ombellé, Cuvette Department, in Mboshi territory.

In 1963 Marien Ngouabi was promoted to Lieutenant.

Known for his leftist views, in April 1966 Ngouabi was demoted to the rank of soldier second class when he refused to be posted again at Pointe-Noire.

Ngouabi's arrest provoked discontent among the military, and on July 31 Ngouabi was freed by soldiers.

The National Revolutionary Council ( CNR ), headed by Ngouabi, was created on August 5, 1968.

Ngouabi was a Kouyou from the north and his regime shifted control of the country away from the south.

It is claimed that Ngouabi was under French pressure to annex the oil-rich Cabinda enclave, a part of Angola, and his refusal to act cost him French support.

On March 18, 1977, President Ngouabi was assassinated by an alleged suicide commando.

When Massamba-Débat was overthrown in 1968 Lissouba remained in government under Marien Ngouabi and although he was suspended from political activity from 1969 to 1971 he was on the Central Committee of the Congolese Workers Party in 1973.

In 1977 he was implicated for involvement in the assassination of Ngouabi and arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1977.

He was later part of the 1968 military coup that brought Marien Ngouabi to power and was a founding member of the Congolese Labour Party ( Parti Congolais du Travail, PCT ) in December 1969.

When Ngouabi was assassinated in March 1977, Nguesso played a key role in maintaining control, briefly heading the Military Committee of the Party ( CMP, Comité Militaire du Parti ) that controlled the state before the succession of Colonel Joachim Yhombi-Opango.

Under President Marien Ngouabi, Yhombi-Opango was Army Chief of Staff ( with the rank of Major ); he was suspended from that position on July 30, 1970, but subsequently restored to it.

The PCT was founded by President Ngouabi in December 1969 and was Congo-Brazzaville's sole ruling party from the moment of its creation.

Ngouabi was assassinated under unclear circumstances in March 1977, and Yhombi Opango succeeded him.

One year later, President Ngouabi proclaimed the People's Republic of the Congo, Africa's first People's Republic and announced the decision of the National Revolutionary Movement to change its name to the Congolese Party of Labour ( PCT ).

Once in power, President Ngouabi changed the country's name to the People's Republic of the Congo, declaring it to be Africa's first Marxist-Leninist state, and founded the Congolese Workers ' Party ( Parti Congolais du Travail, PCT ) as the country's sole legal political party.

The Congolese Party of Labour ( French: Parti congolais du travail, PCT ), founded in 1969 by Marien Ngouabi, is the ruling political party of the Republic of the Congo.

After a period of consolidation under the newly formed National Revolutionary Council, Ngouabi assumed the presidency on December 31, 1968.

President Alphonse Massamba-Débat had Ngouabi and Second Lieutenant Eyabo arrested on July 29, 1968.

Massamba-Débat, whose powers had been curtailed by the CNR, resigned on September 4, and Prime Minister Alfred Raoul served as acting head of state until December 31, 1968, when the CNR formally became the country's supreme authority and Ngouabi, as head of the CNR, assumed the presidency.

Some leaders on the left-wing of the party, such as Ange Diawara and Claude-Ernest Ndalla, favored a radical pro-Chinese position ; they unsuccessfully attempted a coup d ' etat against Ngouabi in February 1972.

President Massamba-Débat's term ended in August 1968 when Captain Marien Ngouabi and other army officers toppled the government in a coup.

There is some speculation that the French financed some of the following attempts to remove Ngouabi.

March 18 is Marien Ngouabi Day in the Republic of Congo.

The country's only university is the Marien Ngouabi University in Brazzaville.

Other features include the Marien Ngouabi Mausoleum, Brazzaville Zoo and the Poto-Poto School of Painting.
