Excerpt from A Memorial on Native Rights in the Land and Its Fruits in the Congo Territories Annexed by Belgium (Subject to International Recognition) In August, 1908
The Congo territories are still being pillaged, ruthlessly and systematically, for the enrichment of private interests and to enable the Belgian Government to main tain its hold upon the territory without calling upon the Belgian tax-payer for grants in aidl. The Belgian electorate was not consulted on the question of annexa tion. Ministers had no mandate from the Nation to commit it to annexation. The Belgian public was, however, assured that Belgium would contract no financial Obligations in annexing the Congo, and Ministers Shrink from the electoral disaster which, under the circumstances. Would probably follow a demand upon the public purse; grants-in-aid of a substantial character being, nevertheless, essential if the System of pillage still obtaining is to be replaced by just and normal rule in accordance with the Acts of Berlin and Brussels and International Treaty rights.
This exact expression of the truth is but the echo of the same truth eloquently pleaded in the Belgian Chamber by distinguished and patriotic Belgian Statesmen and its enunciation here infers no reflection upon the Belgian people as a people. These cannot be held responsible, at this stage, for the actions Of a Government which committed them uninformed and unconsulted to the task of administering an enormous Dependency in the African tropics.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical text, delves into the heart of a significant era in Central African history. The author examines in detail the legal basis upon which a colonizing power, under the guise of advancing civilization, stripped indigenous communities of their birthright - their land and its valuable produce - and replaced it with an oppressive, exploitative system that persists today. Using a wealth of historical evidence, the author demonstrates that native rights and ownership of land were never relinquished or abandoned, as has been claimed, but rather forcibly seized. This deeply researched account sheds new light on the struggle for justice and preservation of cultural heritage in Africa, and powerfully illustrates the devastating consequences of colonial powers abusing their power in pursuit of economic gain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333525231_0
