Patrice Lumumba

Our struggle is a struggle for justice and equality.

The future of Africa is in our hands.

We are building a new Congo, a free Congo, a prosperous Congo.

The Congolese people will overcome all obstacles.

We are marching towards a brighter future.

The struggle continues.

Our victory is certain.

Long live independent Congo!

The colonialists made us suffer like dogs. We were called 'monkeys'.

We shall never forget the massacres, the tortures, the humiliations.

We are no longer your monkeys!

The Congo will never again be a colony.

We want peace, but not peace at any price.

Our independence is a victory for all oppressed peoples.

We must unite to build a strong and prosperous Africa.

The forces of reaction will not triumph.

The people's will shall prevail.

We shall build a truly democratic state.

Our revolution is irreversible.

We are fighting for the total liberation of Africa.
