WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

The assassination of Malcolm X was preceeded by the assasination of all of the associates he had gained in his efforts to unify African Americans and Africans. Patrice Lumumba was the first.  "In early April Brown, one of the mercenaries, was captured by UN forces, at which time he tried to bargain for his freedom by confessing his role in the assassination of Lumumba .   Based upon Brown's confession, Tshombe was placed under house arrest on April 26, pending a UN investigation. 

  The UN COMMISSION, which issued its findings in November the same year, concluded that Lumumba's body would never be found.  Three weeks after Lumumba's death the CIA  agents in the Congo  cabled Langley headquarters to notify Dulles that Lumumba had been  "liquidated."  The February 10 cable from. CIA officers involved the plot stated: Lumumba's fate is best kept secret in Katanga. 

The assassination of Lumumba wasn’t confirmed in the international press until a month later, on February 16, when the New York Times reported that Tanyug, the official Yugoslavian press agency, had rung an article claiming that the Belgian mercenaries played a role in Lumumba’s assassination.  On February 13, shortly before the story before the story broke, Tshombe told reporters at his home in Katana that he had notified the UN that he would refuse to deal within commission investigating Lumumba’s assassination. 

The reports confirming the murder evoked worldwide riots against symbols of the United States, France Great Britain, and Belgium.

Embassies were sacked in Egypt, Poland, France, Great Britain, Ghana, Iran, India, Moscow— practically everywhere.  African Americans threw eggs at Belgian Embassy officials in Washington, and Nigerian students in Chicago staged a demonstration at the Belgian Consulate."  Judas Factor by Karal Evanzz
