Patrice Lumumba : The Man Ahead Of His Time
We come back on the life of one of the most famous and important African nationalists, Patrice Emery Lumumba of the Democratic Republic of Congo. A born orator, charismatic figure and highly intelligent, Lumumba is an iconic figure to Africans and beyond. Respected by an entire continent, Lumumba took on the Belgian colonial system put in place over decades and dismantled it, alongside with his comrades, and led Congo to a long difficult road to independence. In this podcast, we review his life, struggles, eventual arrest and assassination. We discover how the plot to kill him was way bigger than Congo, and was orchestrated by the highest officials of countries like Belgium, France, Britain and the USA. We also see how far they went to protect their dirty secret, by going as far as assassinating the Secretary General of the United Nations Organization. Find out in this week's podcast of Colonialism and it's effects on modern day Africa.

An overview of the Scramble and Partion of Africa and the Berlin Conference
MTN: 651108636
ORANGE: 690424686
In the previous posts, I gave an overview of the Scramble of Africa. Essentially revealing the reasons for this and how it was done. After the abolition of the Slave Trade, the European powers in quest for a new sense of pride and financial gains, decided to exercise their imperial ambitions by conquering Africa, mostly in the guise of civilizing them, which was a fallacious story told by the European Monarchy and governments to it’s populations to avoid politically correct citizens from protesting. Except, there were already civilizations in Africa, and fully functional societies. The greed and insatiable appetite of the European powers reached its apex during the Berlin West African Conference in 1884.… In the recording below, I will give a detailed explanation of everything in regards to the topic. Now keep in mind that it’s my first podcast and I am pretty nervous, but I believe I will ameliorate with time to give everyone better content. Don't forget to subscribe and reply in the comments if there’s any criticism.
As explained in the recording, very little of the continent was occupied. The presence of European powers was mostly along the coast, and they barely ventured in the interior. But with several technological innovations and The Berlin Conference, only two territories were not colonised and occupied at the eve of the First World War of 1914
This image personally reminds me of the Mafia syndicates of New York City. Where a group of powerful people sit together and carve out territories where they can rob and pillage the people of that area. It aligns with my views that the conference was just European powers deciding on how to rob Africa better, like an organized crime syndicate.
