Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: Francois Lumumba, the son of the late hero of Zairean independence, on Thursday said there was nothing wrong with foreign help to rebels seeking to oust President Mobutu Sese Seko. The son of Patrice Lumumba, the prime minister who was murdered in February 1961, less than a year after independence, added in Geneva that he planned to go to Goma in eastern Zaire for a meeting with rebel leader Laurent Kabila.
