Une partie des programmes du #17Janvier et des commémorations prévues pour Patrice Emery Lumumba à #Kinshasa

A hospice in Uganda asked itself: Can we do more than ease the pain of dying? Can we actually prevent deaths from cervical and breast cancer?

65 years after the assassination of Lumumba and after decades of the family’s tireless struggle for truth and justice, a Belgian court will hold a historic hearing to decide whether criminal proceedings can move forward. A crucial step toward accountability and the confrontation of colonial crimes.

This is a phenomenal piece of writing; it deftly weaves the tournament, the history of Lumumba and Africa as a whole, and the man responsible for honoring him together into something truly remarkable.
