Join us for a discussion on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) with African historian, Dr Glen Ncube. We take a broad view of the history of the Congo from the time of Belgian king Leopold II to Mobutu Sese Seko. We zoom in on how the Congo became an independent country under Patrice Lumumba and find out more about his unfortunate assassination. How did Joseph Mobutu come to power? We also place the struggles in the Congo in the wider context of the Cold War. How authentic was Mobutu's policy of Africanization (or Mobutuism)? What is the link between the Rwandan Genocide and the end of Mobutu's rule? Find us on twitter @WilliamHPalk or @C_duPlessis.
