-Artist/victim: "All of you over there, look at the Congo! This Country of Lumumba, look at this Country, look at the so called rights, look at what they do to those who dare speaking up!

Look at these handcuffs, remember/think of Lumumba...

These corrupted, these Congolese, those that kill this country; they murdered Lumumba and now continues to kill the Congolese people. Are you looking at them? you are criminal partners (if all you do is looking). All of you are partners in crime, you all with your cameras, you kill the Congolese people.

They kill people, they kill children in schools, you have the army, but all you find better to do is to come and arrest me. You should go arrest those that kills pupils/students at Beni! You, I am talking to you, whomever you are. Today, i am ready to die because and for you, because you are corrupted, you are corrupted!

You think that you can arrest someone who's only talking? Is it only here that you show your power? Take a look at yourself, it's shameful, you are an embarrassment! This is were you bring this country, handcuffs, you put handcuffs on those that speak up..."I am a colonel or whatever".

What's a colonel anyway? The Belgians left, and today the Congolese people will speak up and you will go too. We will swipe you off like this, the same way they swept the people (white colonialists) in South Africa! Because you are a bunch of scoundrels."

_Chief of police/colonel: "Ok, are you done?"

_Artist/victim: "Yes, I am. Take me wherever you want."
