Congo-Kinshasa: Lumumba's Tooth Is Returned, While Still Waiting for Truth

[JusticeInfo.net] Patrice Emery Lumumba, "father of Congolese independence", was finally buried on June 30 in Kinshasa 61 years after his assassination- This came after former colonial power Belgium returned his tooth ten days earlier. But while the Belgian gesture allowed a rare moment of national unity, organized at great expense by the Congolese state, it also highlighted the lack justice and reparations for this colonial crime, half-confessed and far from being forgiven.
