Manifeste de l'indépendance du Congo

The "Manifeste de l'indépendance du Congo" was a declaration made in 1958 by Congolese leaders advocating for independence from Belgian colonial rule. It expressed their desire for self-governance, respect for their cultural identity, and sovereignty. The manifesto called for political rights, social justice, and economic control to improve living conditions. It marked a pivotal step in Congo’s struggle for independence, reflecting national pride and the aspiration to build an autonomous nation free from colonial domination. This document contributed to mobilizing public support and accelerating the process leading to Congo’s independence in 1960.
