#africanews #blackhistory #patricelumumba On July 2nd, 2025, Patrice Lumumba would have turned 100. Maybe he would’ve been a retired elder statesman, living quietly in a Congo he helped shape—free, strong, and sovereign. But that future was stolen from him. Because on January 17th, 1962, Lumumba was murdered in one of the most brutal and shameful assassinations of the 20th century. He was beaten. Shot. And then, his body dissolved in acid—erased, as if history could be rewritten.
But history doesn’t forget. And neither do the people of Congo.
What makes this tragedy even more haunting is that the world knows the truth. Belgium orchestrated the assassination. The United States gave its blessing. The United Nations stood by in silence. And for more than six decades, justice has been denied. Apologies have been whispered. Documents have been declassified. But no one has truly been held accountable.
Until now.
A recent report has shaken old ground. A 92-year-old former Belgian official, long suspected of involvement in Lumumba’s murder, may finally be prosecuted. After all these years, the wheels of justice are slowly turning. But the question remains—will they stop before they crush the truth, or finally bring it to light?
Could this be the moment when justice, long delayed, is no longer denied?
