"never trust a Belgian",
it is this advice that Daily Mail gives to its readers, following the veto that Belgium opposed to the American requests for a preventive support of Alliance for Turkey. Sun qualifies the Belgians of "pitiful". A legend accompanying the photograph of the Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, indicates: "a Belgian guy about which nobody never intended to speak. Worried by a lack of chocolate ". The person in charge for the heading defense, Matthew Hickley, denounces a country "which drew from broad profits because of accomodating the administrative head office of NATO in Brussels and the headquarters in Mons". In a leading article, Daily Mail recalls that the "courageous chocolate manufacturers of Belgium refused to sell ammunition in Great Britain during the war of the Gulf of 1991, before being excused some thereafter". The former Ambassador of France in the United Kingdom, Daniel Bernard, would have probably found the word right to qualify this "small country", heart revealing of this méprisable Europe. This "small country" which proclaims its universal competence to give itself the right to judge all and all, as it claimed, at a certain time, to want "to open Africa with civilization and to abolish the draft of the slaves", for better plundering and violating Congo, and to exterminate 10 million people. Adam Hochschild, American journalist, inform us on the way in which Léopold II massacred Congo, in his book: "phantoms of king Léopold, or a forgotten holocaust". It estimates at 10 million the number of people exterminated in Congo between 1880 and 1920, are half of the total population of the country at that time. In 1880, Léopold II reigned in Belgium. The king then claimed to create an association with humane goal with collaboration of the explorer Henri Morton Stanley. While the real but unavowed goal was to colonize Congo and to exploit its richnesses. The gathering of rubber, particularly invaluable food product at the time, led to dead and the mutilations of many Congolais. André Gide in his "Voyage to Congo" points out the worst insupportable horrors than it observed his own eyes. Without offusquer of the fate reserved for million Blacks, the megalomaniac Belgian monarch enjoyed and flooded Belgium of the fruits collected on hard labours and sacrifices imposed on Congolais. The humanitarian that Léopold II claimed to realize in Congo was in fact a true holocaust. When Congo passed with the hands Royales sanguinolentes, with the hands not less criminal of the "small country" to become Belgian Congo, the mode of exploitation and forced work continued as well as the mutilations made to the women and to the children (cut hands or feet) who did not respect the quotas of production; taxes in kind, massacres of the inhabitants, without speaking about the plundering of the ivory and rubber also. Quantity of usual heads congolais, marked to call into question the colonial order, were hung to be used as example. The Belgians were worthy of their King and the King had the subjects which it deserved. Here is part of the criminal record of this "small country" which is with justice and universal competence, which "Dupont and Dupond" are with the police force.
