“As every year, the Collectif Mémoire Coloniale et Lutte contre les Discriminations invites you to the “Lumumba Day” to pay tribute to Patrice Lumumba, Joseph Okito and Maurice Mpolo, assassinated on January 17, 1961.
The Belgian State has committed itself in 2020 to return the relics of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba to the Congolese State.
