The Congress Observes a Minute of Mourning

– Enver Hoxha –

In the afternoon session, the murder of Patrice Lumumba was announced. The [5th] Congress [of the Party of Labour of Albania] observed a minute of mourning. The delegates, with a sense of deep indignation, condemned the crime committed by the [Moïse] Tshombe gangs. On the proposal of a delegate from the district of Korça, the Alarupi Mine was named “Patrice Lumumba.”
