Why Were Africa’s Leaders Assassinated? The Dark History of Lumumba, Sankara, Machel & Gaddafi
Descrição
Why were so many African leaders assassinated after independence?
Professor P.L.O. Lumumba takes us through a dark chapter in Africa’s post-independence history — from the assassination of Patrice Emery Lumumba in 1961 to the deaths of Sylvanus Olympio, Eduardo Mondlane, Amílcar Cabral, Tiro, Samora Machel, Thomas Sankara and Muammar Gaddafi
These were leaders who emerged during Africa’s struggle for political independence and, in different ways, challenged colonialism, foreign influence and the continued control of African resources
Lumumba examines the circumstances surrounding their deaths and asks a deeper question: why did leaders who stood up for African sovereignty repeatedly become targets?
From Congo to Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina Faso and Libya, this is a journey through some of the most consequential political assassinations in modern African history
Who benefited from their deaths? And what happened to Africa’s liberation struggles after they were gone?
