*ATTENTION* THE TRUE STORY ON HOW CONGO GAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE! 🇨🇩

The history that they have tried to hide for over 90years! Since 1921, Simon Kimbangu had already started the procedure of the liberation of DRC from Belgian colony.
This thread will be chopped into 3 parts:

1) The release of King Leopold III from the Germans by Simon Kimbangu.

2) Kisolokele’s Mission to attain Congo’s Independence

3) How Kisolokele created Congo’s first political party & Diangendas financial aid towards Congo’s freedom.
Part 1: THE RELEASE OF LEOPOLD III FROM THE GERMANS BY SIMON KIMBANGU.

During World War 2, Leopold III had decided to go against the Belgian government & take the direction of the war into his own hands. As a result, Leopold was captured by the Germans & imprisoned (1939).
The Belgian government tried everything to free him but they could not. The prison was a deep hole dug in the ground surrounded by German guards constantly surveilling the prison. By this time the Belgians had long attained Congo from Leopold II
The Belgians had witnessed the many mysteries + power of Simon Kimbangu.

After many previous failed attempts at trying to kill Kimbangu, it was clear to the Belgians that the only person that could help them save their king was Kimbangu.
During this time, Simon Kimbangu was a prisoner in Lubumbashi as a part of the life imprisonment he was sentenced to in 1921.

The Belgians went to Congo to contact 2 of Kimbangu's children, Kisolokele and Diangenda, who were studying in Boma at the time.
The Belgians asked Kisolokele & Diangenda if they could speak to their father Kimbangu to help them release King Leopold from German captivity.

After much insistence from the Belgians, Kisolokele & Diangenda agreed to speak to their father.

Though Kimbangu was in prison, he still held spiritual contact with his wife & 3 children at all times and agreed to release Leopold from German captivity.
When Kimbangu met Leopold in his German prison, Leopold was shocked.

Please deep it! 1939 & Kimbangu had chosen 30th June 1960 to be the independence date.
To Leopold's surprise, before he could understand how Kimbangu had already gotten him to his house. His wife & security were shocked to see him pop out of nowhere.

Both Kimbangu & Leopold proceeded to sign 2 copies of the Congo independence agreement for them to hold on to.
That concludes Part 1 of the truth of How Congo gained its independence.

Not only did Simon Kimbangu Sacrifice his life, but he also went to save the Belgian King & made an agreement w/ him on KIMBANGU’S TERMS! FOR CONGOS FREEDOM!
NO ONE at that time was fighting for Congo’s freedom like this, like the way Kimbangu did.
