UN General Assembly
1961

144. In the name of my country, and before all present at this Assembly, I call upon all the Powers which are giving direct or indirect aid to the Katangese secession to put an end at once to this criminal adventure. For the situation in Katanga is today more serious and more dangerous than ever. We all know the events of the last few days: the blood of our Katangese brothers has been shed and the entire Congolese nation is mourning the loss of those who have died so that vile profiteers may live longer.
