Mouvement National Congolais - Definition and Overview
The Mouvement National Congolais (English: Congolese National Movement, MNC) is a pro-independence group that emerged in the colonizedBelgian Congo. After the country was granted independence by Belgium and held its first parliamentary elections in 1960, chaotic fighting almost immediately broke out, with the MNC being one of the groups vying for power. Internal splits in the MNC occurred between pro-SovietPrime MinisterPatrice Lumumba and pro-WesternPresidentJoseph Kasavubu; in late 1960, Kasavubu's faction won, and he overthrew Lumumba with help from Colonel Joseph Mobutu. Mobutu was a member of the MNC who later became famous for the kleptocracy he headed following his successful 1965coup d'état against President Kasavubu.
