Word of the Day: “To love someone who does not love you is like shaking a tree to make the dew drops fall..” – Democratic Republic of Congo Proverb.
Today in history in 1961, “Patrice Lumumba, independence leader and first Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is assassinated after only 10 months in office; executed by a firing squad of Belgian and Congolese officers who were behind his ouster. The killing sparks international outrage, and brings some unification to DRC by creating the country’s first national martyr.” – Source: https://www.africatodayyesterday.org/days/17-jan
