Last Message From Patrice Lumumba


Patrice Lumumba shortly before execution


My dear companion,

I write you these words without knowing if they will reach you, when they will reach you, or if I will still be living when you read them. All during the length of my fight for the independence of my country, I have never doubted for a single instant the final triumph of the sacred cause to which my companions and myself have consecrated our lives. But what we wish for our country, its right to an honorable life, to a spotless dignity, to an independence without restrictions, Belgian colonialism and its Western allies-who have found direct and indirect support, deliberate and not deliberate among certain high officials of the United Nations, this organization in which we placed all our confidence when we called for their assistance-have not wished it.

They have corrupted certain of our fellow countrymen, they have contributed to distorting the truth and our enemies, that they will rise up like a single person to say no to a degrading and shameful colonialism and to reassume their dignity under a pure sun.

We are not alone. Africa, Asia, and free and liberated people from every corner of the world will always be found at the side of the Congolese. They will not abandon the light until the day comes when there are no more colonizers and their mercenaries in our country. To my children whom I leave and whom perhaps I will see no more, I wish that they be told that the future of the Congo is beautiful and that it expects for each Congolese, to accomplish the sacred task of reconstruction of our independence and our sovereignty; for without dignity there is no liberty, without justice there is no dignity, and without independence there are no free men.

No brutality, mistreatment, or torture has ever forced me to ask for grace, for I prefer to die with my head high, my faith steadfast, and my confidence profound in the destiny of my country, rather than to live in submission and scorn of sacred principles. History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history that Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations will teach, but that which they will teach in the countries emancipated from colonialism and its puppets. Africa will write its own history, and it will be, to the north and to the south of the Sahara, a history of glory and dignity.
 
Do not weep for me, my dear companion. I know that my country, which suffers so much, will know how to defend its independence and its liberty. 

Long live the Congo! Long live Africa!


Patrice

They have all shown that the first humans that ever lived had lived in Africa. See using DNA to trace   human origin and migration . Then, click through 1-19 to learn. Alternatively, you may watch the video below. It was summarized in this video (9 minutes only). Human ancestry made easy Despite facts from the science of genetics about human origins, yet western movies, books, continue to present Adam and Eve as whites.  Despite facts from archeology and paleontology, yet Hollywood and cinemas continue casting bible characters as whites! Adam and Eve were black- according to science How could Adam and Eve be white; when human life began in Africa?    How could Adam and Eve be white; when the first humans lived in Africa?

Jesus Christ Was a Black Man - According to the Bible

Jesus Christ was a black man-  according to the bible Before I begin, let me say this article is not about religion, but about history. I am not a religious person, I am not interested in religion. It's high time black people got to begin un-learning lot of the information packed into our minds courtesy of long years of slavery and colonialism. It is time for the black race to rise and claim what is ours. History has been distorted extensively to downplay the contributions of black people to humanity.  One glaring distortion is about the character called Jesus Christ in the bible, whom the ancient artists drew as a black man, ancient sculptors carved him as a black man, and even the bible itself described him as a black man in many passages. Before I go further, let me inform you that if you're a serious seeker and you're interested in digging deeper for the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter where it may lead to, then you'll need to first find out What

Role of Christian Missionaries in the Colonization of Africa- East Africa as a case study

Role of Christian missionaries in the colonization of East Africa Christian missionaries in East Africa (1). Missionaries signed treaties which were later used by colonialists to take over colonies e.g. Tucker, a British Missionary interpreted the 1900 Buganda Agreement to the regents of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. This led to loss of political, economic and social powers to the British protectorate government. Sir Harry John stone who signed on behalf of the British government confessed that;      “I John stone shall be bound to acknowledge the assistance offered to me by the missionaries especially the CMS. Without their assistance on my side, I do not think Uganda’s chiefs would agree to the treaty which practically places their country and land in the British hands”. (From partition of Africa by Prof Sempebwa). (2). Missionaries supplied information to the colonialists which they utilized to plan how to effectively impose their colonial rule on how to crash the African res

What is Satan? What is Lucifer?- The biggest secret in the world Satan means a radical advocate for alternative new knowledge.... enlightened    The origin of our problem as black people - The biggest secret in the world   Take note that I said ‘’what’’ is Satan, not ‘’who’’ is Satan because the question of ‘’who’’ is Satan is a misunderstanding of the fact that Satan is a metaphor denoting a principle, not a person. I need to say so before I begin, because so many lies have been told in this world, so much that we're virtually living on heap of lies and our whole existence have been constructed on lies. But when you wake up and you do your research 3 layers deep, you'll see lies everywhere. Then you'll realize that nothing in this world is as you think it is. So, please open your eyes and read this to discover the root of our problem as black people, o pen your mind and you'll discover where our problem as a race began thousands of years ago. We blacks have been dece

The Real Name For Africa is ALKEBULAN

ALKEBULAN = Africa   How Europeans changed the name of Africa The Original name for Africa is ALKEBULAN: Arabic for "the land of original people" Alkebulan is the oldest and the only name of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians. Africa, the current name adopted by almost everyone today was given to this continent by a European invader by the name of Louis Africanus. Like all other methods of manipulation, the Romans sought to completely disconnect the indigenous Africans from their culture, deities, and knowledge. History of Louis Africanus and Alkebulan's name change Publius Cornelius Scipio battled Carthage– a powerful city-state in northern Africa which had established itself as the leading maritime power in the ancient world.  The First Punic War broke out in 264 B.C. when Rome interfered in a dispute on the Carthaginian controlled island of Sicily. The war ended with Rome
