Patrice Lumumba

The world must recognize our right to self-determination.

We are fighting for a better future for our children.

Colonialism is an evil system that must be abolished.

We will not allow anyone to dictate our policies.

The people are the true masters of their country.

We will never betray the trust of our people.

The struggle continues until final victory.

We are determined to build a truly independent Congo.

The blood of our martyrs will not be shed in vain.
