ON THE ASSASSINATION OF LUMUMBA
The International Secretariat of the Fourth International stigmatizes the new crime of colonialism in the which aroused the indignation of international public opinion among the workers, and expresses its solidarity with he Mouvement National Congolais for the loss of its most representative leader, PATRICE LUMUMBA.
LumumBa was murdered by the Belgian colonialists and heir agents, under the hypocritical cover of the UNO, because he was leading a just struggle for the independence and unity of the Congo. But his elimination will not profit the murderers, for the fight of the Congolese people will continue and develop in ever sharper forms.
The Fourth International takes its stand, without any reservations, in favor of self-determination for the Congolese people, its right to total independence and unity, chel or nonet, in and all ino, riad the depar, ether or indirect, the Congo, and the departure of
UN troops.
Long live the independent and united Congo!
