Le Parti avait pour premier but l’accession du pays à l’indépendance rapide, sans périodes intermédiaires, et le contrôle, par les nationaux, des principaux leviers de l’économie. Les dirigeants du M.N.C. souhaitaient offrir à la population, le plus rapidement possible, le bonheur dans la liberté et le plein développement. Sous l’impulsion du grand patriote, Patrice Emery Lumumba, Président national et fondateur du M.N.C., l’exigence de l’indépendance, de la démocratie et de la liberté fut formulée et acquise. Le 30 juin 1960, en effet, le Congo belge accéda à la souveraineté internationale sous le nom de République du Congo et le Président National du M.N.C./L. devint le Premier Ministre du Gouvernement central de Léopoldville (Kinshasa). Le Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba (M.N.C./L.) voulait bâtir un Congo uni et fort, véritable moteur de tout le continent africain. C’est ainsi que les dirigeants du M.N.C. /Lumumba invitèrent toutes les populations congolaises, sans distinction de sexe, de tribu, de race, de région ou de croyance religieuse à se regrouper massivement autour d’eux pour poursuivre, dans la liberté retrouvée, la construction du pays avec comme devise : “UNITE - FRATERNITE - SOLIDARITE “ Programme d’Action Politique du Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba Toutes les conditions semblaient donc avoir été réunies pour démarrer l’ambitieux programme du M.N.C./L. pour la grandeur du Congo et de l’Afrique. Mais quelques mois seulement après l’accession du pays à l’indépendance, Joseph Désiré MOBUTU SESE SEKO, Joseph KASA-VUBU et le Collège des Commissaires Généraux mis en place par eux, décidèrent d’en finir avec Patrice Lumumba et l’envoyèrent au Katanga (Shaba) pour y être assassiné avec Joseph OKITO, Président du Sénat et Maurice M’ POLO, Ministre de la Jeunesse et des Sports. Ces individus avaient espéré annéantir l’oeuvre et le programme du Héros National. Mais la pensée politique de Patrice Emery Lumumba ne disparut pas pour autant et, au cours des années 1964-1965, le peuple congolais, en colère, prit les armes pour combattre ceux qui avaient fait assassiner son leader. Le président actuel du M.N.C./Lumumba et d’autres patriotes en exil, poursuivirent, avec acharnement, l’oeuvre entreprise par le Héros National en corrélation avec les militantes et les militants clandestins du M.N.C./ L. restés au Congo(Zaïre) et dans les pays limitrophes. Ce texte du “Programme d’Action Politique” du M.N.C./ L. a été puisé à la source, en droite ligne de l’enseignement du Héros National du Congo, Patrice Emery Lumumba, l’on se souviendra que Patrice Lumumba quitta sa résidence de Léopoldville (Kinshasa) en novembre 1960, dans l’espoir de regagner Stanleyville (Kisangani) et la Province Orientale (Haut-Zaïre), les bastions du M.N.C./L. où les troupes étaient restées fidèles au Gouvernement légal. Programme d’Action Politique du Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba Lumumba, on le sait, n’arrivera jamais au terme de son voyage. Que dire donc, en conclusion, au seuil de l’an deux mille ? Le peuple congolais, rassemblé au sein de la grande famille du M.N.C./Lumumba, a remporté une première victoire le 30 juin 1960 : celle de l’indépendance politique et de la dignité du peuple congolais. Aujourd’hui est venue l’heure, pour le M.N.C./Lumumba, de livrer et gagner une bataille cruciale : celle de rebâtir le pays anéanti par la dictature féroce des mobutistes au cours des dernières décennies et ce, avec l’aide de tous les hommes et de toutes les femmes de bonne volonté au pays et de par le monde. Le M.N.C./L. s’engage donc à rendre au peuple du Congo le bonheur et la joie de vivre. Programme d’Action Politique du Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba CHAPITRE PREMIER TITRE I Le Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba proclame solennellement sa foi inébranlable et son attachement indéfectible aux intérêts capitaux de la Nation et du Peuple congolais conformément aux principes fondamentaux de la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme garantie par les constitutions des pays indépendants du monde libre, épris de paix, de justice et de liberté. Il fonde la structure du Congo sous forme d’un Etat unitaire, indivisible et démocratique, tout en reconnaissant la nécessité d’accorder aux régions une certaine autonomie et la compétence de régler ce qui est d’intérêt local en concertation avec le pouvoir central. Il proclame l’égalité de tout citoyen devant la loi, sans distinction aucune de sexe, de rang social, d’appartenance politique, de race, de langue ou de religion. Il rejette catégoriquement le système fédéral, les menaces de balkanisation du Congo, le népotisme, le tribalisme, le racisme, le régionalisme et toute forme de discrimination. Il proclame la libre participation de tout citoyen, sans distinction de sexe, à toutes les fonctions publiques de l’Etat conformément aux règles qui seront édictées par une Constitution librement établie au Congo même. Le M.N.C. /L. réaffirme sa ferme détermination d’installer un Gouvernement National du Peuple, par le Peuple et pour le Peuple. Il base son action sur les principes élémentaires de la Démocratie. Le Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba se fixe la tâche primordiale d’éduquer les masses populaires dans la voie d’une véritable indépendance. En tant qu’Organe de Combat du Peuple Congolais, le Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba mènera une lutte intrépide sous toutes ses formes pour la libération nationale, la dignité, la liberté, la démocratie, la souveraineté et le progrès social. Conscient de ses lourdes responsabilités, le Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba assurera à la Nation congolaise les conditions humaines suivantes conformément à la Déclaration Universelle des Droits de l’Homme du 10 décembre 1948. Programme d’Action Politique du Mouvement National Congolais Lumumba Entre autres : - Le Droit du citoyen à un niveau de vie décent. - Le Droit du citoyen à la possession de ses biens. - Le Droit le plus légitime du citoyen à la liberté de pensée, de culte, d’expression, d’opinion, de résidence, de réunion et d’association, à la libre circulation, au respect de la personne humaine, à la sécurité sociale. - Le Droit du citoyen à l’instruction, à la promotion intellectuelle, culturelle et morale. - Le Droit de l’ouvrier indépendant de jouir du fruit de

Patrice Émery Lumumba 37 Patrice Émery Lumumba Patrice Émery Lumumba (1925–61), a Congolese leader of the nationalist independence movement against Belgian colonialism and co-founder of the Mouvement National Congolais (MNC) in 1958, was the first Prime Minister of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo from June 1960 until September 1960, when he was removed from office by a confluence of forces under the direction of President Joseph Kasavubu, Colonel Joseph Désiré Mobutu, and Belgian and American officials. Lumumba was born in Onalua in the Katako-Kombe district of Sankuru in the Kasai province of the Belgian Congo and educated by Protestant missionaries. He was registered as an évolué and worked as a postal clerk and as a charismatic salesman, an image made famous first in Aimé Césaire’s play Une Saison au Congo (1967) and then in Raoul Peck’s biographical film Lumumba (2000). He became active in the independence movements in the mid-1950s and began a career as a journalist and writer, editing a Congolese postal workers’ newspaper L’Écho, and writing for La Voix du Congolais, La Croix du Congo and the Belgium-based, L’Afrique et le Monde.

  • ENOUGH MANNA for ALL (Paper Presented at the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Pre-General Assembly’S Panel; Indianapolis, Indiana, July 28, 2009)
    ENOUGH MANNA FOR ALL (Paper presented at the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Pre-General Assembly’s Panel; Indianapolis, Indiana, July 28, 2009) By Professor Eyamba G. Bokamba Department of Linguistics University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; USA 1. GENERAL REMARKS It is truly a great honor for me to participate in this panel which is called to reflect on the General Assembly’s theme from the perspectives of the “Global partners” in our united church: the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ. I would like to express my gratitude to the Rev. Sandra Gourdet, the Executive Director of the Africa Department, for arranging my invitation on this panel. I am delighted to be and share this important moment with you, and I hope that I will be able to do justice to the task that I have been assigned. I have been asked to speak in reference to the topic of “Enough Manna for All,” that, as you all know, refers to a critical period in the 40-year exodus of the Israelis from Egypt through the wilderness under the leadership of Moses and Aaron (May and Metzger 1962). We are told in Chapter 16 of Exodus that when they reached “the wilderness of Sin” after six weeks of trekking from Egypt, they complained of hunger and accused Moses of taking them into the wilderness to starve them to death. And since they were God’s people, He heard their complains and rained food on them, including manna (Exodus, 16: 15-16), with specific instructions for them to take only what they needed for their family each day, except on Sabbath.

  • Avisuality and Colonialism in the Congo
    Visuality and Colonialism in the Congo: From the ‘Arab War’ to Patrice Lumumba, 1880s to 1961 by Isabelle M. de Rezende A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Nancy Rose Hunt, Chair Professor Adam P. Ashforth Professor Geoff Eley Professor Patricia Hayes, University of the Western Cape Acknowledgments This dissertation took some years and a few turns to come together. Some of it has always been in my mind. But for the most part, it is the result of an extraordinary learning process, which began at the University of Michigan in September 2004, and continued in Mozambique, in Belgium, and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Many people and institutions made this dissertation a possibility, and its completion a reality. First, to my dissertation committee: hearfelt thanks for the support and for helping me take those last steps. My thanks go in the first place to Nancy Rose Hunt, with whom I have worked since my arrival at Michigan, and who taught me such a great deal about African history, about the Congo, and about writing. I am grateful for her dedication and mentorship. I met Patricia Hayes in the fall of 2005 at the University of Michigan; since then I have been fortunate to benefit from her generosity, vast knowledge, and subtle mind. Geoff Eley has also been a great mentor and teacher. I have been fortunate to benefit and learn not only from the depth and breadth of his scholarship, but also from the ways he always seeks connections: across fields and across disciplines.
