Welcome all of you to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; my name is Christian Ostermann.

The Center is the United States’ official memorial to President Woodrow Wilson and it celebrates, commemorates Woodrow Wilson through a living memorial, that is, we bring scholars from around the world, about 150 each year to the Wilson center to do research and to write. In addition to hosting fellowship programs, the Center hosts 450 meetings each year on a broad array of topics related to international affairs. One of these meetings is taking place today, and it is a very special meeting, as I will explain in a few moments.

  • DRC: How the CIA Got Patrice Lumumba
    DRC: How the CIA Got Patrice Lumumba By François Soudan Region: sub-Saharan Africa Global Research, January 19, 2021 Theme: History theafricareport 13 January 2021 On 17 January 1961, just sixty years ago, the first legally elected prime minister of the DRC was assassinated after being overthrown with help from Washington. A sinister episode that Larry Devlin, the ‘Mr. Congo’ of the CIA from 1960 to 1967, would reveal half a century later in his fascinating book, ‘Chief of Station, Congo: Fighting the Cold War in a Hot Zone.’ Leopoldville, on 30 June 1960. With the declaration of its independence, the DRC finally emerges from its long colonial history. A new bilateral system is established with a head of state as cunning as he is impenetrable, Joseph Kasavubu, and a Prime Minister as charismatic as he is unpredictable, Patrice Lumumba. In bars, people dance to the rhythm of the Independence Cha Cha, but the euphoria will be short-lived. On 5 July, a mutiny broke out in the Thysville camp (Mbanza-Ngungu), then spread to the capital. Over a matter of pay, no doubt, but also a revolt against the continued Belgian presence in the DRC by virtue of bilateral agreements. “For the army and General Janssens, who commands it, has the impudence to say that independence means nothing.” On 11 July, the rich province of Katanga, where the Belgian “Mining Union” reigns, secedes under the leadership of Moïse Tshombe. South Kasai threatens to do the same. This new state-continent is on the verge of imploding. A tough guy It is in this context that the new CIA station chief landed at Leopoldville Beach on 10 July 1960.

Het gewicht van de ‘koloniale bibliotheek’ leek en lijkt mij nog steeds te groot om van onderuit te komen. Ik ben desondanks verder gegaan en bevind me ondertussen meer en meer in de gangen van de koloniale machtsuitoefening over ‘Afrika’. De kritiek van sommige intellectuelen lijkt de identiteit van Afrika als een soort auto-proces te willen vestigen tegenover het westen of Europa, die enkel de koloniale verwoestingen zouden verderzetten in elke aanspraak op kennis over het Afrikaanse continent.

Voorwoord Een masterproef schrijven is geen eenvoudige opdracht. Het afgelopen academiejaar was gevuld met vele lange dagen en nachten van onderzoek, zoektochten naar specifieke literatuur en talloze bezoeken aan het Rijksarchief 2 in Brussel. Door veel tijd door te brengen in het archief, is mijn onderwerp sinds september verschillende keren van focus en periodisering veranderd. Hoewel dit soms frustrerend was, bouwde ik ondertussen wel een betere kennis op van de werking van de Union Minière.
