Dr Congo hero- Lumumba’s tooth buried

It is the only part of his body that exists after his remains were dissolved in acid. The Belgian policeman who oversaw the disposal took the tooth as a trophy. It was returned to the family last week and has toured several parts of DR Congo in a coffin. President FĂ©lix Tshisekedi, Lumumba’s family and other dignitaries are at the service which is taking place before the coffin is transferred to a specially built mausoleum. Lumumba was the country’s first prime minister and one of the leaders of the struggle for independence. Do you think that the colonial masters need to pay for the atrocities committed ?
