Sleep With History

Congo Crisis and the assassination of Patrice Lumumba (1960-1961)


Listen Later

As the shadows of evening stretch across the kaleidoscope of history, we find ourselves in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo during its poignant moments of newfound independence amidst the twilight of colonial rule. Here, under a sky tinged with the last golden rays of a setting sun, the air is thick with the scents of rain-soaked earth and the whispered promises of freedom. We navigate the silent echoes of the past where the fervent speeches of Patrice Lumumba merge with the rustle of thick leaves, evoking the deep, resonant drumbeats of resistance and the soft, persistent hum of hope against the backdrop of Cold War intrigues. In this episode, let us drift into the poignant silhouettes of history, where the drone of the past offers a lullaby of resilience and whispered dreams of sovereignty. This episode is hosted by William Davis.
