OMG you Belgium are so tyrant
Finally, the Congolese, P.E. Lumumba's family, and all Pan-African can mourn him properly according to customs and, at last, finish the mourning of this world hero: P. E. Lumumba. Long live Lumumba! May your spirit haunt all the enemies of Congolese people!
Well, that's nice of them. Better late than never.
What kind of creatures those colonists?
The savages were the Belgians.
Slang they took his body and dissolved it an acid they kidnap the man🤦🏾♂️
They will pay who did it and they will see what going on and son of god they will raise again wait and son of god still slave they're going to be free the age is now
The blood-thirsty clowns in Belgium finally had an epiphany, I guess, about returning what little remained of the murdered Mr. Lumumba. This comes after people in Europe cried their eyes out about Africans not cheerleading the "west" against "big bad Russia."
Even a clueless NBC "reporter," who likely could not place Africa on a map, if pressed, kept spouting off some apocalyptic gobbledygook about Africa disappearing from the face of the planet, supposedly due to "hunger" brought on by "Russian blockage of Ukrainian grains." Nevermind the fact that much of Africa, outside the northern coastlines, does not munch on "Ukrainian grains." These are the same people who were telling apocalyptic stories about Africa "disappearing from earth due to covid-19," but real trouble was actually in their own backyards. Heck, NBC is convinced that "Chimpanzees are monkeys." That's all one needs to know about the credibility of that organization.
The young Congolese should know their history. It seems like today but this happened more than 50 years ago. Lumumba stood for his people. He visited Ghana after Congo's independence and saw how the late Nkurumah was developing Ghana at the time. The colonial master did not like that so they planned with Mobuto and Tsoba (the spelling maybe wrong) to overthrow him. They killed him and put his body in a drum and poured acid on the body.That is the reason they don't have the bones but only the tooth.
Black people are too forgiving.
That’s a nice gesture by the Belgians now can we look toward the future.
I'd like to know more about this then a tooth 🦷, like how is just a tooth his only remains, and why? Did they have his tooth was it torture? This has gotta be the most weirdest news thing I've ever seen, yet I'm now interested and wanna know more
Yea, I read recently that Lumumba wanted complete freedom and reparations for his country and people. Of course, their colonizers/oppresors, french and belgian wanted no part in it so they got rid of him. May the same fate await his killers
Dat big box…..for a toof!?!? He musta had some big…..toofs!
Thats a big box for a tooth
This is disgusting why is a European country honoring some African this is the problem with Europe
whats with all the distraction headlines?
kids think about what happens when they lose their first tooth:
Btw, rest in peace.
What about the wealth 🤔????
*Overthrown and assinated by Belgium
Thanks for showing this news. History remembers great men and women. 🌍
You have GOT to be kidding me. THIS is considered news? 😀
Who overthrew him? What if any part did the Belgian government or citizens play? What was their motivation? Where the assistants ever brought to justice?
It took six men to carry a single tooth?!
Say, "Cheese!"
Not his tooth.
A tooth,??? Return all the looting an pay Congolese their reparations
Is this about Hotel Rwanda ?
