| Evergreen Patrice Lumumba's last letter to wife |
Patrice Lumumba was the first indigenous Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo (currently known as the Democratic Republic of Congo). He led the Congolese independence struggle and founded the Mouvement National Congolais, which ultimately resulted in the wresting of reins of power from Belgian colonialists.
However, 200 days after independence Lumumba was assassinated in a plot orchestrated by western powers. Below is his last letter to his wife after he was arrested by western-backed soldiers of Joseph Mobutu.
