Summary

[ edit ]
Description
English: The word “decolonize” is sprayed on the doors of the Church of St. James on Coudenberg in Brussels, Belgium. The photo was taken on June 20th, 2022, the day the (alleged) remains ? in essence a tooth - of Patrice Lumumba ? former prime minister of the Republic of the Congo ? were handed over to his family at the Egmont Palace in Brussels. The tooth was placed in a coffin and a hearse transported the relic that day from the Egmont Palace to the embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Brussels. The hearse passed (near)by the doors of the Church of St. James on Coudenberg which displayed the word “decolonize”. Congo used to be property of the Belgian royal, Leopold II, and a colony of Belgium. Patrice Lumumba was the first prime minister of Congo after Congo’s independence from Belgium.
