A new book examines the role of the CIA in the overthrow of Congo's first prime minister Patrice Lumumba and how that led to the last 60 years of instability in Africa's second-largest country.

Not really news in any way, but I thought it was an interesting short read, even if it’s also publicity for the book the interviewee wrote.
