Moise Tshombe, Hero or Zero?

Well, I only know a smidge about the guy and the Congo in general because in my African History class we covered all of Africa and it was hard to go into too much depth, but I say zero. With him in power, Katanga wasn’t willing to submit to the new Congolese government, and a lot of stuff went screwy because of that.
Granted, Tshombe was anti-communist and everyone thought Lumumba was swinging in that direction, which may justify some of Tshombe’s actions, but I don’t like his politics.
Maybe I’m being all sentimental about things because I also saw the movie, which was fairly emotional for me. I don’t know. I must add, though, that they made Tshombe look like a total jerk in that movie. That might’ve colored my opinion slightly.
