Episode 6: The Plot to Kill Patrice Lumumba

In June of 1960, Patrice Lumumba was the first democratically elected prime minister of the Congo. By September, he would be removed from power. By December, he would be a prisoner, and by January of 1961, he would be dead. Why was this popular fighter for Congolese independence assassinated, and who was behind it?
