In Patrice Lumumba's honour, I am pleased to offer 1 last lot of CIA reports produced just prior to the assassination. Here, we have 4 documents produced on 12 January 1961, 5 days before Lumumba's murder. These may be fully downloaded here: https://t.co/xuKLTax249 1/4

Like other reports, these memoranda allow us to see Lumumba's murder within a larger arena of postwar violence/policy, including USA surveillance of the Algerian War (w/ electoral statistics), & political opposition in #Ethiopia, #Ghana, #India, #Laos, #Myanmar, & #Japan. 2/4
I also wish to draw attention to the work of @JDevermont, whose @Africadeclassi1 releases formerly declassified documents on a regular basis. 3/4
.@catherine_lee_p and others have noted that the CIA's electronic reading room is now available freely online: https://t.co/uvXbPok58J 4/4
