Video: Patrice Lumumba, the first prime minister and great leader of the Congo, was tortured, executed in a firing squad, and his body was dissolved in sulfuric acid by Belgium and USA allies because he tried to protect his country's minerals. His last words were: “My dear countrymen! In joy and in sorrow, I will always be with you. It was together with you that I fought to free my country from foreign rule. Together with you, I am fighting to strengthen our national independence. Together with you, I will fight to preserve the integrity and national unity of the Republic of the Congo. Neither cruelty, nor violence, nor torture will make me beg for mercy, because I prefer to die with my head raised high, with unshakeable faith. In my country’s predestination rather than live in submission, forsaking my sacred principles. 😡😡😡

Some historical context to South Africa's ICJ case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. In the 1970s-80s, Israel was a major weapons and tech supplier to South Africa's apartheid government. This was when Black South Africans and the ANC forged strong ties to Palestinians.

TOTTENHAM CALLER BLASTS PRO-ISRAEL BIAS The British ruling class has often looked down on people of colour, especially if they are from impoverished inner-city neighbourhoods. So, when 'Sean,' who sounds like a Black guy in Tottenham, England, called into a British radio show about Israeli crimes in Gaza—dropping truth bomb after truth bomb—the LBC radio programme host was caught off guard. 'Sean' explained the Western media had used the term 'freedom fighters' to refer to Zionist gangs that murdered innocent Palestinians during the 1948 Nakba (or 'catastrophe' in Arabic). The caller relayed the West supports Israel's illegal actions of blockading food, fuel, electricity and water from entering the Gaza Strip, while it has carpet-bombed the enclave's civilian population of more than 2 million people since 7 October. 'Sean' went on for another few minutes and had twisted the LBC host into a pretzel by the end. Let us know below if you want to hear more from Tottenham's pro-Palestine hero. If so, we will post part 2.
