Question

Do you think that some of Lumumba's ideals still live on in contemporary Africa?

Answer 1

The national hero of the DR Congo, Patrice Lumumba, was a man that had lot of ideas, good and healthy ones, as to how the African continent should be and prosper. Some of his ideals was that the African countries become independent, all of them to be in good relations and support each other, form an organization through which there will political and economic collaboration between the African nations, to force the tribalism, ethnic, and religious rivalry out of the African mindset. In the present, these ideals still live on among millions of people, but unfortunately it seems that they are a minority. The majority seems to still engage in what Lumumba wanted to eradicate. The collaboration between the nations is not the best, being more tense than good, and lot of people try to migrate out of the continent instead of trying to make it a better place for living.
