About this holiday

This holiday commemorates Laurent Désiré Kabila, a Congolese politician and independence leader who served as prime minister. The day also acknowledges the legacy of Patrice Lumumba, an influential nationalist who led the Congolese National Movement (MNC) from 1958 until his assassination in 1961.
