Last year, the BBC ran two documentaries on the tragic history of this central African state. Who Killed Lumumba?

The film reveals the very close personal and political relationship between Lumumba and his army general Mobuto and how close was Mobutu and several Western leaders.

US Documents released last August reveal that President Eisenhower directly ordered the CIA to assassinate Lumumba. Minutes of an August 1960 National Security Council meeting confirm that Eisenhower told CIA chief Allen Dulles to β€œeliminate” Lumumba. The official note taker, Robert H. Johnson, had told the Senate Intelligence Committee this in 1975, but no documentary evidence was previously available to back up his statement.

Who did the job - Moboto.
