“The colonialists care nothing for Africa for her own sake. They are attracted by African riches and their actions are guided by the desire to preserve their interests in Africa against the wishes of the African people. For the colonialists all means are good if they help them to possess these riches”.

- Patrice Lumumba, Speech at the All-African Conference in Leopoldville August, 1960.
