Y’all now denying and saying that there was no genocide in DR Congo whom the Europeans called Belgian Congo same way some Europeans are now claiming that Mansa Musa was white, when there’s an oral history among the people of Congo numerous photo evidence to showcase the killings, mutilation, hanging of the indigenous peoples in their land and forcing people into labor in rubber plantation using the Force publique which was created by Leopold II, who were made up of Europeans and an African tribe from a distant land and tribe that have been at war against the people of the Kingdom of Kongo, the Luba Empire, and the Lunda Empire for ages and were definitely cannibalistic, leaving no one to farm whereas causing starvation.
