Justice for Lumumba? Belgian Diplomat Faces Trial for Congo Hero’s Death
A Belgian diplomat, Etienne Davignon, will stand trial over the 1960 assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first prime minister. The move is seen as a crucial step towards truth and justice for Lumumba's family, more than 60 years after the colonial-era killing. The trial could be the first criminal prosecution of its kind against a former colonial power.
