UN General Assembly
1960

141. When the colonialists realized that the Government of the Republic of the Congo, which had been legally elected and had received a vote of confidence from Parliament, had firmly embarked on an independent policy and was resolved to be guided solely by the interests of the Congolese people, they immediately resorted to every possible means of overthrowing that Government. They set out to secure the establishment of a puppet government, a government which, though ostensibly "independent", would in fact carry out the wishes of the Colonialists. 142. The colonialists tiled to bring this about by crude methods and direct? interference, as they always do. It is deplorable that; they have been doing their dirty work in the Congo through the Secretary-General of the United Nations, and his staff.
