EUROPEAN POWERS FIGHTING IT OUT IN DRC

In this 1964 clip, we see Malcolm X pushing back on CBS News reporters.

They asked the chairman of the Pan-Africanist Organization of Afro-American Unity to condemn what the Western media labelled as the 'massacre' of European nuns held hostage in October 1964 in the resource-rich Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Malcolm's reply serves as a stark reminder that the ongoing conflict that has killed more than 6 million since the mid-1990s began with Western powers vying for the Congo's mineral wealth since the late 1800s.
