Fucking hell that’s a depressing read.
Also, while I was in high school in the 90’s, we did cover some of the history around the Congolese colony, but these kidnappings were certainly never a part of what was talked about.
yet another reason why flanders requires a more separate legal personality from belgium – the blame should land where it belongs, the french speaking nobility and elites
What shitty defence arguments the Belgian government used: *In 2021, the case proceedings began. Lawyers representing Belgium argued in hearings in a Brussels civil court that the abductions at the time were legal and that the case should have been brought up a long time ago. Too much time had passed, they claimed.*
