Patrice Lumumba Full Movie - With English Subtitles

Patrice Lumumba

Patrice Lumumba was a Congolese independence leader and the first democratically elected leader of the Congo. As founder and leader of the mainstream Mouvement national congolais (MNC) party, Lumumba played an important role in campaigning for independence from Belgium, threatening Belgium's access to Congo's rich natural resources.

Within twelve weeks of Congolese independence in 1960, Lumumba's government was deposed in a coup organised by the Belgium Government who encouraged in the resource rich Katanga province to succeed from Congolese rule in an attempt to guarantee Belgium's continued access to Congolese resources after Congo's independence. During the Congo Crisis Patrice Lumumba was subsequently imprisoned by state authorities under Mobutu and executed by firing squad. The United Nations, which he had asked to come to the Congo, did not intervene to save him. Mobutu Sese Soko then went on to rule Congo as a dictator for the next 30 years with the full support of the Belgian Government. This documentary provides first hand witness reports that claim Belgium, the United States, and the United Kingdom have all had involvement in Patrice Lumumba's death.

Hutu’s, who lost loved ones, have to remain silent

Infused with this one-sided picture the twentieth commemoration of the genocide has Tutsi’s giving testimonies on radio and television while Hutu’s, who also have lost loved ones, have to remain silent for a hundred days. “If I would plea for a memorial for all perished Hutus, I would be arrested immediately”, Francis smiles bitterly. The journalist refers to the Rwandese politician Victoire Ingabire, who lived in the Netherlands for 16 years and returned to Rwanda in 2010 to participate in the presidential elections.

Upon her return, at the genocide memorial in Kigali, Ingabire called for an investigation into ‘crimes against humanity’ allegedly committed by Tutsi soldiers against Hutu civilians in 1994. In Rwanda, such a remark stands equal to ‘divisionism’ and ‘denying the genocide’, although foreign researchers several years after the genocide already documented how tens of thousands of Hutu’s indeed had been murdered during and right after the hundred days when the massacres took place. This statement, plus alleged links with the in Eastern Congo active Hutu rebel movement RDR, led to a prison sentence of 15 years for Ingabire.

While Kagame is Hunting for Medals, The US Congress has included his Regime in Totalitarian States.

President Kagame was decorated by His Majesty King Mohammed VI with the Grand Collar of Wissam Al-Mohammadi, Morocco's highest national award of honour

King Paul is finding new medals - not in USA or UK anymore. The medals from the USA/UK have dried up. Kagame is getting medals from the Arab world these days. The hunt for new medals is on. Kagame just landed a new medal from Morocco.


Meanwhile a new US Congress "national security white paper" places his regime in the company of tyrannical regimes around the world. http://abetterway.speaker.gov/_assets/pdf/ABetterWay-NSTF-PolicyPaper.pdf

According to the White Paper, "the historic expansion of freedom worldwide has been eroded by democratic backsliding. Many of the democratic transitions that marked the end of the Cold War and were sustained over the following decade have stalled or reversed.

Freedom House reports that 72 countries experienced a decline in freedom in the last year, while only 43 countries posted gains, continuing a decade-long decline in global freedom...In Rwanda, a constitutional referendum on presidential term limits will effectively allow President Paul Kagame to stay in power until 2034. In Venezuela, the regime has cracked down on the opposition and imprisoned itsleaders such as Leopoldo Lopez.

The regime in North Korea likely has the worst human rights record in the world. Over 140,000 North Koreans are kept in forced labor camps where many are worked to death. Yet for years, the global community, including U.S. administrations, largely ignored this barbarity in a failed attempt to arrest North Korea’s nuclear development."

Mr President — Who Owns Prime Holdings?

Kagame dominates the Rwanda government in every sense. Without a genuine opposition, or business sector voice, or genuine independent media to raise questions, Kagame’s word is taken as gospel truth. The only voice of reason seems to come from donors — in particular, from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to the IMF, the PSI “helps countries design effective economic programs that, once approved by the IMF’s Executive Board, signal to donors, multilateral development banks, and markets the Fund’s endorsement of a member’s policies.” That is the very instrument that the IMF uses to regularly review Rwanda’s economic performance.

Mr President — Who Owns Prime Holdings?

In its 2006 PSI review, the IMF discovered serious financial irregularities in Rwanda, pointing out to the government of Rwanda that its “adherence to conditionality was poor.” The reason the IMF gave for its conclusion was that the Kagame government had failed to supply the financial audit of the construction of the hotels that later became the Kigali Serena and Kivu Serena. The two projects were at the time under the management of company called Prime Holdings.

The then Finance Minister James Musoni and the then Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda, Francois Kanimba, confirmed to the IMF that indeed the government of Rwanda had failed to supply the said audit. Immediately an audit of Prime Holdings was made — and the results were shocking. Prime Holdings could not account for the financial resources that had been poured into building of the two hotels. Musoni and Kanimba then assured the IMF that the government of Rwanda had ended the management of contract of Prime Holdings. Nothing was ever heard of regarding Prime Holdings from 2006 onward.

Fast forward to 2016 — in researching for my book Kagame’s Economic Mirage, I discovered that Kagame had not only revived the long-discredited Prime Holdings, the Rwandan ruler had given the corrupt firm an even larger assignment. Prime Holdings now “owns” 50% of the US$150 million Kigali Convention Center (KCC) funded by out of the US$400 million Eurobond money raised in 2013. Not only that. The RPF’s Crystal Ventures Ltd is also now said to be one of the “owners” of KCC.

Kagame who has branded himself as Mr Clean, must explain how he revived Prime Holdings that made millions of dollars “disappear” in the mid-2000s. How could he reward a corrupt company with an even bigger responsibility of “owning” KCC? And who is the real owner of Prime Holdings? Shame! Perhaps IMF might save us again…..from Prime Holdings.

Watch this and see what happens when sycophancy replaces diplomacy.

In international diplomacy, international relations are conducted through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, trade, war, economics, culture, environment, and human rights.

Diplomats are gentlemen and ladies. No shouting. Diplomats engage brain. Not mouth.

Rwanda is a different. Like its president, Rwandan diplomacy is name-calling, abuse, finger-pointing, and personality insult.

Watch Rwanda diplomat at the UN - with diplomacy thrown out of the window. The victim of the undiplomatic crudeness is no other than the United States.
