At this international conference, hosted by influential Pan-African President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Lumumba further solidified his Pan-Africanist beliefs.

There was further rioting, during which 24 people were killed, in Stanleyville on October 31, 1959 after Patrice Lumumba was arrested following a meeting of the MNC.

Kasa-Vubu was able to continue broadcasts from Brazzaville across the border and made a further announcement on September 10 that the Lumumba government was dissolved.

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.

Lumumba and Kasavubu blamed it all on the military intervention by the Belgians, and appealed to the United Nations to send troops to oust them.

On 14 July 1960, in response to requests by Prime Minister Lumumba, the UN Security Council adopted United Nations Security Council Resolution 143.

Because the Congolese army had been in disarray since the mutiny, Lumumba wanted to use the UN troops to subdue Katanga by force.

Lumumba and his cabinet responded by accusing Kasa-Vubu of high treason and voted to dismiss him.

His two-year sentence was commuted to twelve months after it was confirmed by Belgian lawyer Jules Chrome that Lumumba had returned the funds, and he was released in July 1956.

" Lumumba responded by reminding the audience that the independence of the Congo was not granted magnanimously by Belgium:

On 14 September, a coup d ’ état organised by Colonel Joseph Mobutu incapacitated both Lumumba and Kasa-Vubu.

This cable goes on to state that the writer's sources ( not yet declassified ) said that after being taken from the airport Lumumba was imprisoned by " all white guards ".

The report of 2001 by the Belgian Commission mentions that there had been previous U. S. and Belgian plots to kill Lumumba.

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 ).

In July 2006, documents released by the United States government revealed that the CIA had plotted to assassinate Lumumba.

Both Belgium and the US were clearly influenced in their unfavourable stance towards Lumumba by the Cold War.

Meanwhile Russia took every opportunity to meddle in the Congo, sending Lumumba equipment for his `` wars '', dispatching `` technicians '' and even threatening, on occasion, to intervene openly.

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

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.

President Kasavubu became exasperated with Lumumba and fired him.

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.

President Kasavubu had clashed with Prime Minister Lumumba and advocated an alliance with the West rather than the Soviets.

On 14 September 1960, with U. S. and CIA support, Colonel Joseph Mobutu overthrew the government and arrested Lumumba.

Lumumba was beaten, placed in front of a firing squad with 2 other allies, cut up, buried, dug up and what remained was dissolved in acid.

Many of the executions were carried out with extreme cruelty, in front of a monument to Lumumba in Stanleyville.

Many of the street names reflect an African nationalist or anti-colonial theme, with names such as " Independence Avenue " or " Patrice Lumumba Road " being main roads.

Lumumba and the MNC won this election and the right to form a government, with the announcement on 23 June 1960 of 34-year-old Lumumba as Congo's first prime minister and Joseph Kasa-Vubu as its president.

On 17 January 1961 Lumumba was flown to Elizabethville ( now Lubumbashi ) bound, with tape across his eyes, ears and mouth, and receiving regular beatings.

The Belgian Commission investigating Lumumba's assassination concluded that ( 1 ) Belgium wanted Lumumba arrested, ( 2 ) Belgium was not particularly concerned with Lumumba's physical well being, and ( 3 ) although informed of the danger to Lumumba's life, Belgium did not take any action to avert his death, but the report also specifically denied that Belgium ordered Lumumba's assassination.

Also, the CIA station chief helped to direct the search to capture Lumumba for his transfer to his enemies in Katanga ; was involved in arranging his transfer to Katanga ( p. 158, Hoyt, Michael P. 2009, " Captive in the Congo: A Consul's Return to the Heart of Darkness "); and the CIA base chief in Elizabethville was in direct touch with the killers the night Lumumba was killed.

In early January 1961, ANC units loyal to Lumumba invaded northern Katanga to support a revolt of Baluba tribesmen against Tshombe's secessionist regime.

The new republic was immediately disrupted by political and military strife and regional secessionist movements, while the central government was paralyzed by conflict between the conservative Kasa-Vubu and his nationalistic prime minister Patrice Lumumba.

Lumumba was later handed to Moise Tshombe's secessionist forces in the southern province of Katanga and murdered.

Advisor to Patrice-Emery Lumumba of the Mouvement National Congolais ( MNC ), Tshisekedi left the MNC to follow Albert Kalonji on his secessionist adventure in Kasai, acting as Minister of Justice in the newly autonomous State of Kasai.
