    Greetings, I am Moïse Kapenda Tshombe. Born on November 10, 1919, I dedicated my life to the pursuit of business and politics in the vibrant region of Katanga Province. My journey led me to become the president of the secessionist State of Katanga from 1960 to 1963, followed by serving as the prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1964 to 1965. My endeavors in advocating for autonomy and leading the way during challenging times have left an indelible mark on the political landscape of the Congo.
