Did you know that the CIA once orchestrated the execution of today’s DR Congo’s first Prime Minister by a firing squad? On this day in 1961, Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Congo, was executed by a firing squad following assassination plots concocted by the US and Belgian governments.
Lumumba’s anti-imperialism and vision of a united Congo made him an adversary of both Belgium and US imperialism. Although the CIA ordered his assassination, they weren’t able to carry it out themselves.
Instead, Washington and Brussels secretly funneled cash and aid to rival politicians who organized a coup and arrested Lumumba. He was then beaten, tortured, and killed.

Trans activists in Mexico have smashed the doors of the High Court to demand justice for Samantha Gómez Fonseca, a trans woman who was shot dead last year. Gómez was a Senate candidate for the ruling MORENA party. The culprit was arrested, but there have still not been any convictions.
Protesters fear that there could be impunity in this case, as there is for most cases of femicide and transfemicide in the country. Though Mexico City now has a law recognizing transfemicide as a separate crime, with 70 years of prison, corruption within the judicial system means it’s rarely applied. The transfemicide law was drawn up by the administration of Claudia Sheinbaum, current President of the country, when she was Head of the Mexico City Government.

Mexico’s right-wing opposition is supporting Trump’s planned attack on their country because they lack support from the Mexican people. They view him as their “savior” and only path to power, says President Sheinbaum.
Sheinbaum also compares the opposition to Miramón, a 19th-century conservative Mexican leader who invited European troops to attack the country in 1864 to overthrow the anti-feudal liberal government of Benito Juárez. This led to the Austrian Habsburg Empire briefly ruling Mexico from 1864 to 1867, with Archduke Maximilian I of Vienna as emperor.
