The Rest Is History

CHAPTER

The Dark Legacy of Colonialism in the Congo

This chapter explores the atrocities committed during the colonial era in the Congo, including violence against civilians and the exploitation of children, while highlighting the lack of media attention on these events. It also examines the moral dilemmas faced by individuals involved in the colonial regime, contrasting those who protested against the brutality with those who remained complicit. Through personal testimonies and critical analyses, the chapter sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of the Congolese people and the cultural biases that enabled such horrors.
