and, looking ahead in the book for a sec, just to steady on for a

Patrice Émery Lumumba (2 July 1925–17 January 1961) was a Congolese
independence leader and the first legally elected Prime Minister of
the Republic of the Congo after he helped win its independence from
Belgium in June 1960. Only ten weeks later, Lumumba's government was
deposed in a coup during the Congo Crisis.[1]  He was subsequently
imprisoned and murdered in circumstances suggesting the support and
complicity of the governments of Belgium and the United States
