Entre o silêncio e o reconhecimento: o processo de independência e os movimentos de libertação no Congo-RDC (1956-60)

Abstract

This work aims to highlight the various existing events and concerns in the colony to demand and accelerate the formalization of the independence of Congo- RDC. The work aims to analyze the Congoleses as historical subjects of achievement for the liberation of African and Congo, highlighting the Congolese leadership in the face of aggressive Belgian colonization. Through the analysis of the Congolese movement for liberation from internal elements to Congo and mobilization, impasses and conflicts experienced by the subjects of the period, we highlight the silences about the brutalities committed in the Congo under the colonial humanitarista facade. We believe, therefore, that this approach enables us to claim the knowledge of another historical perspective, which does not neglect the work, negotiation, resistance or connivance of these subjects in colonial processes and release in the history of Congo.
