ROTFL!

Has it ever occured to u that congo's problems may b cos its too big to administer? A country more than twice the size of Nigeria and with more ethnicities, tribes and languages than most other parts of Africa and with vast reserves of natural resources was always bound to experience the problems Congo has experienced, and continues to experience. That country is just too big and too rich to be governed centrally. The situation in d Congo is so bad that neighboring countries have assumed control over the countries resources in areas where the central government in Kinshasa has no control.

. Give this guy/girl a medal! Same problem plaguing "Lie"geria

Patrice Lumumba was the great Congolese leader who was accountable, progressive, and popularly elected after their independence. He was about to turn Congo into the economic powerhouse of Africa, but was overthrown and assassinated in a CIA led coup in the 1960s, and they promptly imposed an illiterate sergeant, Mobutu Sese Seko on the nation. The rest is history.

How is that about ''Africans having no one but themselves to blame''? People like you need to simply think before playing loud lapdog to western manipulators. It does appear that a generation of progressive post independence nationalist leaders were suppressed by western powers either through assassination or threats etc, which gave rise to a new generation of pro-western stooges.

a medal for this guy/girl too!

Just the other day, I learned a few things about Mugabe that made me have so much respect for him and his country. He might be crazy, but that man loves his people & his country. Who knew Zimbabwe was the most educated country in Africa, with a 90% literacy?

The hallmark of a leader with foresight! While would-be-leader of the nomeclature of the Doomsday General (Buhari) are busy fustrating the effort of the FG to get the Almajiris of the streets; so that they would have enuff foot soldier to prosecute their senseless wars on hardworking christains living in the north. When it comes to, even the yoruba muslim are not speared. I laugh them in chinese #APC

on May 1960, a growing nationalist movement, the Mouvement National Congolais or MNC Party, led by Patrice Lumumba, won the parliamentary elections. The party appointed Lumumba as Prime Minister. The parliament elected as President Joseph Kasavubu, of the Alliance des Bakongo (ABAKO) party. Other parties that emerged included the Parti Solidaire Africain (or PSA) led by Antoine Gizenga, and the Parti National du Peuple (or PNP) led by Albert Delvaux and Laurent Mbariko.

On 5 September 1960, Kasavubu dismissed Lumumba from office. Lumumba declared Kasavubu's action unconstitutional and a crisis between the two leaders developed. (cf. Sécession au Katanga – J.Gerald-Libois -Brussels- CRISP)

On 17 January 1961, Katangan forces and Belgian paratroops – supported by the United States and Belgium – kidnapped and executed Patrice Lumumba. Amidst widespread confusion and chaos, a temporary government was led by technicians (Collège des Commissaires) with Evariste Kimba. The Katanga secession was ended in January 1963 with the assistance of UN forces. Several short-lived governments, of Joseph Ileo, Cyrille Adoula, and Moise Tshombe, took over in quick succession.

Lumumba had previously appointed Joseph Mobutu chief of staff of the new Congo army, Armée Nationale Congolaise (ANC).[citation needed] Taking advantage of the leadership crisis between Kasavubu and Lumumba, Mobutu garnered enough support within the army to create mutiny

We couldnt have known how succesful lumumba would have been, he spent less than 8 months as a leader (1960 -1961)

From the article i quoted, the division and crack started from within in a matter of months after independence between prime minister lumumba and president kasavubu, a self centered tussle for power between the two most powerful congo men of the time.


Do not also forget as you can see from the article i quoted immediately above, it was lumumba who empowered mobutu sese seko as the chief of staff of the army. it is the same man that backstabbed him, and declared mutiny

The crack was from within, my point is more reaffirmed, Africans are typically self centered and care little about the greater good, once a situation does not benefit them .

i will repeat, Africans have themselves to blame, the "west" can only take advantage of a divided house.

I said it was the largest in sub-saharan Africa & 2nd largest in Africa. You didn't read correctly.

My bad, i saw wrongly

There's too much division in Africa! It's sad. Africans, especially sub-saharans, need to unite & liberate Africa.
