CHAPTER EIGHT

The importance of being elegant

‘It seems that our country has been

Abandoned to its sad fate

Why did we fight against the white man’s rule?

Did we shed our blood for independence

To listen to the sterile quarrels of our new masters

Fighting solely for their political privileges?

The country is in ruins.

What a humiliation before the world!

A country so rich, with leaders so careless of its future

The time has come

Kasavubu, Lumumba, Bolikango, Old Tshombe

Why have you turned your backs on your country?’

—Song by

Tabu Ley Rochereau
