As protests grow, Belgium faces its racist colonial past

In this June 10, 2020, photo, a statue of Belgium's King Leopold II is smeared with paint and graffiti in the center of Brussels.

On Wednesday, an internet petition to rid the capital, Brussels, of any Leopold statue swept past 70,000 signatures.

Museum Director Guido Gryseels fully understands the challenges and the sensitivities, especially after a Leopold statue was defaced in the gardens outside the museum last week.

HANDS WERE PUT IN BASKETS BY THE DOZENS

Hands were also cut off and later images of these hands were sold as chocolate candies in Belgium stores and bakeries. King Leopold and Belgium became wealthy as the need for rubber for automobiles rose. King Leopold engaged in barbarism in the slave system of Europe that became known as colonialism. Under this system severed hands were put in baskets by the dozens so that Belgium police forces could account for the number of villagers who refused to meet their quota. Unfortunately, the Congo is still a victim of what Leopold did long ago to foster African tribal conflicts.

WHO declares Ebola outbreak in Congo a global health emergency

Geneva The deadly Ebola outbreak in Congo is now an international health emergency, the World Health Organization announced on Wednesday. More than 1,600 people have died since August in the second deadliest Ebola outbreak in history, which is unfolding in a region described as a war zone.

There was no immediate reaction to WHO's emergency declaration from Congo's health ministry, which had lobbied against it.
