Philadelphia, PA – March 28, 2007 – According to a March 20th article in the Wall Street Journal, global companies have renewed their plundering of the Congo using old colonial maps made by King Leopold. The Congo Free State run by the Belgiums is one of the darkest chapters in the disgusting colonial exploitation of Africa.
It should be noted that the Congo Free State would not have existed if not for a Englishman - Stanley, the British exploiter – rather, explorer, who was hired by King Leopold to help develop the Congo Free State.
This is outlined exhaustively in “THE LAST EXPEDITION, Stanley's Mad Journey Through the Congo.”
So, on one hand we read how Bono and Sir Bob are trying to help Africa with pop singers, and on the other hand we are reading how greedy Europeans are still raping the Dark Continent.
We say enough is enough; it's time for England and the rest of Europe to apologize for what they have done to an entire continent - it's time for reparations!
Look for “The Evil Empire – 101 Ways That England Ruined The World,” in bookstores everywhere on April 23, 2007.
