Ok w/e, you're insane to call that a genocide. Because some folks mistreated them.

And 99% of the ppl did good things. w/e, you have never even lived here but know how it went. Anyway it's off-topic, I'll end up getting upset if I answer to these silly claims. Sorry, bye.

10 million is genocide .Let me put it into focus for you.

That was half the population of congo.Aka 1 in 2.

That is ALL the current population of belgium.

That is how bad it is.For a country you claim was doing so well under belgium rule to lose 50% of its population in under 40 years is genocide.

I am shocked in this modern era we still have people defending colonial atrocities.Very shocked.

And neither did you live there  at that time because i doubt you were born in 1900 when this king decided to hack a population to bits because he wanted to frighten them to bring more rubber.

10 million? Are you mental?

The war broke out after Belgium left. Belgium left and they clashed with each other.

Belgium was affraid to send help in because they could get killed. They send in people to help after the leave, and 10 of their soldiers got slaughtered by the conflict and we pulled out again.

Belgium had nothing to do with the conflict. Congo and Rwanda created that after we left.

Genocide? Shame on you after all the help that country got. Come here and tell that to the people that helped there. You'd get slapped.

And now I'm leaving you because you're going to spew nonsense again. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Don't accuse for something my country had nothing to do with.

Read your history this genocide took place in 1885 to 1912 under belgium rule of the congo.Thats like 50 years before they achieved independence on June 30, 1960 .

Sorry but i really careless if you are getting upset.But justifying how good belgium was to congo is an insult to the 10 million people they killed .

I am sorry for the 10 soliders killed in the civil war there after they got independence but its a farcry from the 10 million + massacred during belgian rule.

"The scope of that repression is staggering. For Leopold, having a colony was the way to greatness and nothing would stand in the way of that greatness - or profits from the rubber trade: not morality, not decency, not God. Under his command, his soldiers engaged in what would now probably fall under the definition of genocide. In one of the documentary's most chilling moments, an actor coolly reads an excerpt from a diary kept by an officer under Leopold's command: "Village set on fire. Dinner then return." And there is the matter of mutilation: the king's soldiers, in a bid to stave off waste, were ordered to bring back a severed native hand for each cartridge they fired. The hands were later smoked and preserved."

From the 2003 documentary Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death.

They killed????

Those 10 million are because of the clash between Rwanda and Burundi.

Tutsi's and Hutu's killed each other.

That had nothing to do with Belgium. NOTHING. And now shut up and stop insulting my country.

Looks like you're the only one getting set straight, or are you going to say Leopold did none of those things? You like to bash the U.S. every chance you get. Sucks when it's your country in the crossfire, eh?

Listen very carefully silly.

Some people were mistreated during the rubber trade. Some. 99% of the people there were there to help. A lot of ministers , soldiers, nurses and freelance helped , and schools were build , roads were build and people cured.

Not one soldier was ever there to shoot anyone.

The conflict broke out after Belgium left and the 2 tribes (hutu's and tutsi's) clashed with each other, and that created a war that killed people.

Belgium had no part in that and tried to help and it got 10 of our soldiers slaughtered and we pulled out again.

Now you can go on with your stupid rickshaw answer, I need to go out, bye.
