The Forgotten African Holocaust: Leopold & The Congo

While studying these devastating events and looking at the photos of children with their arms severed, I was on this wild emotional roller coaster. I went from disbelief and shock to disappointment & despair to being completely numb and ready for war. Our ancestors pain will not go in vain . I can guarantee that . Although African leaders have fought for reparations from Belgium and Belgiums King Phillipe has issued a public apology , the Congolese people have yet to receive any sort of reparations from Belgium although Belgium paid Leopold ii 50 Million Francs to commit mass genocide. Meanwhile Leopold never once set a foot in The Congo. This is not right at all . Congolese people deserve restitution otherwise we can draw the conclusion that King Phillipe is adhering to his forefather Leopold’s letter to the missionaries that clearly stated they should do everything in their power to avoid African people being rich . Belgium even lied to their people to cover Leopold’s deeds for generations. Belgium is NOT sorry and this will NOT just go away . 

Leopold’s letter to the missionaries is oddly similar to the Willie Lynch letter (I suggest you go read them both in their entirety) These letters are evidence that the psychological , physical and spiritual conquering of the African people was planned and passed down over generations . They used Christianity as the ultimate tool for control (they still do) and they started with Africa and tried to also Christianize Asia , however the Asians saw what was happening in Africa with the missionaries and so the Asian rulers were swift enough to order expulsion of all missionaries from their land . This smart move allowed the Asians to keep their power and their land whereas we lost both . This is not to say that we as Africans are not smart , however we didn’t see it coming especially since we were the Europeans first target . As a people we are too kind and welcoming . That is what allowed the Europeans to infiltrate and that has been our downfall for generations. Our kindness to the wrong ppl has always been our weakness . We need to practice discernment. Much work needs to be done within our community, family. My personal strategy is to first free yourself from mental slavery as the great Marcus Garvey said. A part of mental slavery is Western religion . It needs to be done away with before we can ever rise because it’s the very thing keeping us at the bottom ( as you can see that was it’s purpose from the beginning). It has conditioned us to be fearful . Remember who you are !!

Patrice Lamumba was the Congo’s first prime minister . He was a radical leader of the Congolese independence movement & resisted Belgian colonialism and corporate interests. That’s why he was assassinated in a US-backed coup 7 months into his term. Lumumba believed that Congo’s vast mineral wealth should benefit the Congolese people rather than foreign corporate interests. This made him a target . His views angered an array of foreign and local interests; the Belgian colonial state, companies extracting the Congo’s mineral resources, & of course, leaders of white-ruled southern African states. As tension grew, the United Nations rejected Lumumba’s request for support. He decided to call for Soviet military assistance. That proved to be the last straw. Lumumba was seized, tortured, and executed in a coup supported by the Belgian authorities, the United States, and the United Nations. With Lumumba’s assassination died a part of the dream of a united, democratic, ethnically pluralist, and pan-Africanist Congo. After Lamumba’s assassination, they replaced him with the sell out Mobutu Sese Seko. He ran the Congo under harsh dictatorship for 32 years. They let him live because not only did he not do anything for the Congo people , he also helped the Europeans to exterminate us . These are the African people they want to be in charge . The bitter , loser , sell outs that will do their dirty work for them ! The US , United Nations and all other European ran countries and states have worked together for hundreds of years to make sure they extract all wealth from Africa while Africans get none ! King Phillipe of Belgium must order the payment of the Congolese people for their pain and exploitation otherwise the blood of the Congolese people his ancestors murdered will continue to curse their family for generations.
