"The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains one of the countries with the greatest potential for natural wealth, particularly mineral, on the whole African continent and even in the world. Since its independence, there have been successive interventions and attacks from outside or via actors within the country itself, which have pushed it into a series of conflicts that have, almost uninterruptedly, generated immense contradiction between the country’s enormous potential and the extreme poverty in which the majority of its people live. Let us recall the murder of Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of the DRC, by imperialist conspirators backed by NATO, the Belgian Government and the CIA. This young pioneer of African unity, a staunch defender of the DRC’s sovereignty and of the people’s dignity and self-confidence, was a threat to the neo-colonialist intentions of the major world powers. More than 40 years later, the Congolese people’s struggle continues. For our part, we will continue supporting this struggle for sovereignty, for the country’s territorial integrity, and for its right to economic and social development. We need to defend the sovereignty of the Congolese people, to keep it free from any external interference, and to ensure that the country’s people and natural resources can be used to achieve their interests and aspirations."@en1
