Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Belgian government's proposals for reforming the Congo in reaction to global and domestic criticism over the brutal exploitation of its people under King Leopold II's rule. The author argues the proposals fall woefully short of creating meaningful reform, continuing the oppressive system of taxation for private profit that has decimated the native population through violence and disease. Despite claims to the contrary, land tenure rights that encourage development and self-sufficiency remain denied to Congo's indigenous people. By situating these reforms within the broader context of international agreements and ethical obligations, the book lays bare the Belgian government's failure to uphold their duty to protect and uplift the Congolese people.
