Patrice Lumumba, the iconic DRC independence leader and its first Prime Minister, was brutally murdered on January 17, 1961. Remarkable to think he was overthrown by the venal and treacherous Mobutu Sese Seko after just 73 days on September 5, 1960, having ascended to office on June 24, 1960.

‼️ Although the rumour of big-scale evictions of camps by the Tunisian authorities that made its way around some weeks ago did not come true, we want to stress that there have been several smaller but no less violent raids. Migrants die every day as there is no medical care available.
