#1 Things like this didn't happen when Belgium ran things because the Belgians preferred not to outsource their massacres. Remember, the Belgian Congo was the private property of the King himself, and a major profit center. People and good governance cost money, which cuts significantly into profits, y'know. And they were just Africans, after all.... The Africa museum in Tervuren (where the King lives just outside Brussels), is quite, quite interesting -- the omissions as well as the displays.
