veiled4allah: an African holocaust veiled4allah: an African holocaustIn 1885, Belgian King Leopold II was awarded the Congo Free State as a private kingdom; it was entirely his private estate until 1908. During that time, Leopold waged a ferocious campaign to win control of the Congo Basin from local rulers, then established a vast hierarchy of state-directed terrorism to extort rubber from the natives. The slaughter in the "Congo Free State" is estimated to have reduced the population from 20-30 million in 1885 to 8 million in 1904. If this is true, the "Rubber Terror" may have killed more people than the Holocaust in Europe.Read more at Congo Free State and The Butcher of Congo. Also King Leopold's legacy of DR Congo violence
