The US prides itself on being the champion of democracy, justice, and freedom but the reality is far different from what it portrays. History has shown how the US is all about protecting its interests. And, it will do anything including suppressing other nations, inciting wars, and even carrying out assassination attacks to protect this interest. One region that has been the recipient of these US policies is Africa. For decades, whenever people talk about the injustice suffered by Africa, all eyes point to Europe. While that is true, the fact is that the US has also perpetrated a lot of injustice all in a bid to protect its interest. This is why in this video, we will show you a chronicle of how some US President has created chaos in the African continent.

We are going to start with the 34th President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower who became the first ever US President to order the assassination of a foreign leader. This foreign leader was none other than the first Prime Minister of Congo, the infamous Patrice Lumumba.

It all began in June 1960 when Congo gained Independence from Belgium's colonial rule. Unfortunately, within days, the African rank of the Congolese Army mutinied due to the fact that despite Independence, they remained under the leadership of a notorious Belgian leader, Émile Janssens. In response, Belgian troops landed in Katanga, a province in Congo notable for its rich mineral resources. The Belgians were welcomed by Tshombe, the most important and wealthy politician in the province who Malcolm X once referred to as the worst African ever born. You see, Tshombe was a strong supporter of the Belgians and enjoyed the benefits that came with it.

So, not only did he personally welcome the Belgian troops but with their help, declared Katanga an independent state, thereby throwing the newly former Congo into chaos. Within months, Belgian troops in Katanga advanced towards the capital of Congo. They took over the airfields and gave Patrice Lumumba orders about where he was allowed to travel. In simple terms, Congo was in chaos.
