The reign of King Leopold II of Belgium in the Congo Free State is remembered as one of the darkest periods in human history. The brutal exploitation, forced labor,
violence, and atrocities committed under his rule resulted in the death of millions of innocent Africans.
The impact of his regime is still felt today, and many are advocating for the removal of monuments honoring him as part of a broader global movement against racism and colonialism.
The legacy of suffering and death serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive
consequences of unchecked power and exploitation. It is time to acknowledge and reckon with this dark chapter in history to ensure that such atrocities are never repeated again.
Africans should never forget what happened to them in the colonial Erra just like the Jews, the African Americans, Southeast Nigerians, Aminians never forgets.
