PATRICE LUMUMBA said these words to us 😭😭💔💔 : “Neither brutality nor cruelty nor torture will ever bring me to ask for mercy, for I prefer to die with my head unbowed, my faith unshakeable and with profound trust in the destiny of my country, rather than live under subjection and disregarding sacred principles.” “Dead or alive, free or in prison by order of the imperialists, it is not I myself who count. It is the Congo.” “As to my children whom I leave and whom I may never see again, I should like them to be told that it is for them, as it is for every Congolese, to accomplish the sacred task of reconstructing our independence and our sovereignty.” “Long Live the Congo. Long Live Africa!” #powerfulafrica #patricelumumba #africa #congo #IbrahimTraore
