What did actually happen around the storming of the Belgian embassy by the Egyptian populace in Cairo in the aftermath of the Lumumba execution back in January 1961 ? The only picture I remember of was a photograph in Paris Match showing the widow of Lumumba walking around what looked like ruins of house suppodes to have hosted the embassy with one or more of her children (to be verified). The caption was great and could no longer be printed nowadays due to would-be anti-racist or anti-incentive to discrimination or "hatred" laws : Mrs Lumumba becomes African again (she was dressed in typical African clothes) and savage" I have no problem to say that I liked the caption when I read it. Out of dislike towards what Lumumba then represented and as much (if not more) dislike towards his admirers home : the PSU, Témoignage Chrétien, France Observateur, left-wing clergy etc... http://jeanmarielallau.blogspot.com

Are you ashamed to use your own language, or do you think that we, the Belgians who do not have French as mother tongue wouldn't understand this language? -In the first case, I do consider this as a funny kind of masochism (a bas nous!). -In the second case I think you think that the Belgians who do not have French as mother tongue are idiots. -- Fusti
