Answers on DRC's Complex Political Questions:

1. Patrice Lumumba, the first elected Prime Minister of DRC was murdered because he stood up against foreign occupation and Imperialism.

2. The UN refused to protect Patrice Lumumba because the Belgians and Americans didn't want him to be protected. UN works when US "okays" it. The US was coldly against Lumumba's contacts with the soviets hence planned for his assassination.
