Patrice Lumumba: the most important assassination of the 20th century
For this article, I feel that the story of the article is a bit sad and also cruel because it is about a prime minister who got assassinated by American and Belgian governments. The assassination of the prime minister is a country's original sin. The article is really based on the breaking news and also on some other events related to economy and government.

Mobutu's legacy: Show over substance
In this article, it tells that the president of Zaire who had lots of power said that the citizens are not allowed to wear some specific types of clothes. The reason for this was because he wanted to show that the citizens in the nation are to return to African values. I guess that Zaire is starting to be concerned toward fashion and style.

Anatomy of an Autocracy: Mobutu's 32-Year Reign
In the article, it tells that a person named Mobutu Sese Seko was actually an extraordinary survivor. Although he was an extraordinary survivor, his tenacity and resourcefulness made him a defeated man because he left his capital. He was once also called one of the world's brutal dictator or a colossal ego.
