Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
During the decolonization of Congo, here are the five important things that occurred:
1. Prior to independence, the Congolese voted a president, Joseph Kasavubu, prime minister, Patrice Lumumba, a senate and assembly, and other postion in the Congo’s various level of government.
2. On July 5, 1960, Congolese soldiers in the Force Publique mutinied against their white Belgian commanders at the Thysville military base, agitating for higher pay and more opportunity and authority.
3. On July 11, 1960, the richer Katanga province had declared its independence from the Republic of the Congo, which was later followed in August by South Kasai province.
4. On July 13, the United Nations agreed on resolution which made the creation of an intervention force, named Organisations des Nations Unies au Congo (ONUC), and called for the withdrawal of all Belgian troops.
5. On September 5, Kasavubu dismissed Lumumba from the government. Lumumba ignored the decree and dismissed Kasavubu.
6. On September 14, 1960, in a bid to avoid civil war, Colonel Joseph Mobutu of the Congolese National Army (CNA) carried out a coup d’état and later ordered the Soviets out of the country.
It should also be noted that Patrice Lumumba was later arrested and killed, under Joseph Mobutu administration.
