 Later this year, the Belgian Parliament is due to report on the murder of the Congo's first prime minister after independence, Patrice Lumumba, in January 1961. The circumstances of Lumumba's death have been shrouded in mystery for 40 years, but as the Congo's vast mineral wealth is once again becoming a focus for imperialist rivalries, documents long hidden in official archives have been brought to light.
Last year, the BBC ran two documentaries on the tragic history of this central African state.

 WE find it difficult to accept the Grain Marketing Board's claim that the distribution of inputs in the provinces was above board. The outcry from the provinces is too pronounced to be ignored. It calls for thorough investigations, involving people outside the GMB itself. Reports from the provinces show that there is widespread disgruntlement with the way some of the depots distributed the subsidised fertilisers.

 From times past, it has been impossible to get a good man down, yet it is in this instance that an issue arises that pertains to the qualities that do determine or define a good man though these might differ from race to religion and culture. The biblical David faced stiff opposition from King Saul yet even as a young man the mighty Lord had proved to be by his side despite vicious efforts from the king of the Israelites to put him to death.

What a momentous year 2011 was for Africa, indeed for the world - the tumultuous events known as the Arab Spring, and the determination of the people of this region to live in societies that offer hope, freedom and opportunity. The reverberations of the aftershocks in the global economy and the impact on what has been called "innocent bystanders." For Africa, a Gordian knot, how to maintain growth momentum (built since a decade) at a time when the room for manoeuvre, the shock absorbing capacity, is lower than it was, at the height of the financial crisis. Add to this the famine and mayhem in the Horn of Africa, the birth of Africa's newest nation South Sudan and the post-election violence in the Ivory Coast.
