       Belgium's colonial history in Congo: Is 'regret' enough? | DW
       News
       [quote]Belgium's King Philippe has expressed his deepest regrets
       for his country's brutal rule in its former colony, the
       Democratic Republic of Congo. Millions of Congolese were killed,
       mutilated or died of disease as
       the land was pillaged for its resources, particularly under the
       rule of King Leopold the Second. That history has overshadowed
       the ongoing visit of the current King, with many Congolese
       expecting restitution of some kind.[/quote]

       [quote]You don't have to be pushed to apologize if you are
       remorseful. Belgium doesn't see any wrongdoing on these innocent
       Congolese[/quote]
       [quote]Strange how Europe (responsible for so much colonial
       horror) cares so much about Ukraine's borders now.[/quote]
       R:[quote]Are you saying that because Europeans were colonialists
       that they have to be consistent and continue supporting
       colonialists such as Russia...cause that's so silly you have no
       idea...[/quote]

       Not just those already in Belgium, but any who want to migrate
       to Belgium now or in the future.
