Les histoires épouvantables sur le Congo ont assez duré. Pour en finir, un Congolais de la RD Congo a révélé les fake news (Tome1) et organisé un tribunal (Tome 2) sur Léopold II. Ce troisième volume de la trilogie Le roi de Lumumba, est consacré à 135 ans d’hommes désireux et dignes de droits fondamentaux et de vraies histoires, souvent agréables. Les idées reçues interdiraient l’échange de regards complices de Léopold II et de Lumumba, alors que l’un avait créé le pays dont l’autre voulut l’intégrité. Il y a davantage. Les Congolais ont accepté des legs de Léopold II, à commencer par le travail qui est leur devise nationale ; en 2020, ils ont même fait un bilan positif de la colonisation. De son côté, la Belgique reste la seule puissance coloniale qui avait accordé l’indépendance sans guerre de libération. Etc. Tous ces ingrédients lointains ou ceux de l’actualité du jour sont versés et mélangés pour former un cocktail d’histoires de dignités enrichies de couleurs et de saveurs intenses et fraîches d’un Congo méconnu et longtemps falsifié. En effet, si la RD Congo était florissante, avec des populations heureuses, personne n’oserait parler de vieilles histoires coloniales. Le vrai sujet ne pourrait absolument pas concerner le passé. Il y a cinquante ans, Mobutu estima que c’est une erreur impardonnable de ressasser le colonialisme plutôt que de penser et de construire le présent et l’avenir. Malheureusement, les thèmes de Violence coloniale, de Postcolonialisme et de Décolonialisme culpabilisent au point que la Belgique insulte en soumettant l’histoire du Congo à un vote parlementaire. En Afrique, ces théories victimisent et infantilisent sans aucun apport de résilience ou d’amélioration de la qualité de la vie ou encore de solution aux enjeux universels. Ces idéologies sont odieuses ; elles font de l’apologie du racisme. L’histoire s’écrit aussi avec les yeux. On regarde sans voir que le drame du Congo est de n’avoir toujours pas la véritable indépendance ! Celle que la colonisation elle-même ne pouvait lui transmettre…

La polémique qui caractérise la mémoire du passé du Congo Belge nécessite de se pencher sur les sources coloniales les plus directes. L'auteur a recueilli dix récits de vie de colons belges et italiens installés au Katanga et au Kivu de la fin des années 1920 à l'après-indépendance. Ces témoignages diffèrent du discours colonial et missionnaire en ce qu'ils traitent avant tout de l'expérience des narrateurs eux-mêmes.

Belgium was a small, neutral country without a colonial tradition when King Leopold II ceded the Congo, his personal property, to the state in 1908. For the next half century Belgium not only ruled an African empire but also, through widespread, enduring, and eagerly embraced propaganda, produced an imperialist-minded citizenry. Selling the Congo is a study of European pro-empire propaganda in Belgium, with particular emphasis on the period 1908–60. Matthew G. Stanard questions the nature of Belgian imperialism in the Congo and considers the Belgian case in light of literature on the French, British, and other European overseas empires. Comparing Belgium to other imperial powers, the book finds that pro-empire propaganda was a basic part of European overseas expansion and administration during the modern period. Arguing against the long-held belief that Belgians were merely “reluctant imperialists,” Stanard demonstrates that in fact many Belgians readily embraced imperialistic propaganda. Selling the Congo contributes to our understanding of the effectiveness of twentieth-century propaganda by revealing its successes and failures in the Belgian case. Many readers familiar with more-popular histories of Belgian imperialism will find in this book a deeper examination of European involvement in central Africa during the colonial era.

A Dance of Assassins presents the competing histories of how Congolese Chief Lusinga and Belgian Lieutenant Storms engaged in a deadly clash while striving to establish hegemony along the southwestern shores of Lake Tanganyika in the 1880s. While Lusinga participated in the east African slave trade, Storms' secret mandate was to meet Henry Stanley's eastward march and trace "a white line across the Dark Continent" to legitimize King Leopold's audacious claim to the Congo. Confrontation was inevitable, and Lusinga lost his head. His skull became the subject of a sinister evolutionary treatise, while his ancestral figure is now considered a treasure of the Royal Museum for Central Africa. Allen F. Roberts reveals the theatricality of early colonial encounter and how it continues to influence Congolese and Belgian understandings of history today.

Africa: a forgotten continent that evades all attempts at control and transcends reason. Or does it? This book describes Europe's image of Africa and relates how the conception of the Dark Continent has been fabricated in European culture--with the Congo as an analytical focal point. It also demonstrates that the myth was more than a creation of colonial propaganda; the Congo reform movement--the first international human rights movement--spread horror stories that still have repercussions today. The book cross-examines a number of witness testimonies, reports and novels, from Stanley's travelogues and Conrad's Heart of Darkness to Herge's Tintin and Burroughs' Tarzan, as well as recent Danish and international Congo literature. The Dark Continent? proposes that the West's attitudes to Africa regarding free trade, emergency aid and intervention are founded on the literary historical assumptions of stories and narrative forms that have evolved since 1870.

A prizewinning historian's epic account of the scramble to control equatorial Africa In just three decades at the end of the nineteenth century, the heart of Africa was utterly transformed. Virtually closed to outsiders for centuries, by the early 1900s the rainforest of the Congo River basin was one of the most brutally exploited places on earth. In Land of Tears, historian Robert Harms reconstructs the chaotic process by which this happened. Beginning in the 1870s, traders, explorers, and empire builders from Arabia, Europe, and America moved rapidly into the region, where they pioneered a deadly trade in ivory and rubber for Western markets and in enslaved labor for the Indian Ocean rim. Imperial conquest followed close behind. Ranging from remote African villages to European diplomatic meetings to Connecticut piano-key factories, Land of Tears reveals how equatorial Africa became fully, fatefully, and tragically enmeshed within our global world.

Religion in today’s Democratic Republic of Congo has many faces: from the overflowing seminaries and Marian shrines of the Catholic Church to the Islamic brotherhoods, from the healers of Kimban-guism to the televangelism of the booming Pentecostalist churches in the great cities, from the Orthodox communities of Kasai to the ‘invisible’ Mai Mai warriors in the brousse of Kivu. During the colonial period religion was no less central to people’s lives than it is today. More surprisingly, behind the seemingly smooth facade of missions linked closely to imperial power, faith and worship were already marked by diversity and dynamism, tying the Congo into broader African and global movements. The contributions in this book provide insight into the multifaceted history of the interaction between religion and colonization. The authors outline the institutional political framework, and focus on the challenge that old and new forms of slavery entailed for the missions. The atrocities committed at the time of the Congo Free State became an existential question for young Christian communities. In the Belgian Congo after 1908, more structural forms of colonial violence remained a key issue marking religious experiences. And yet, religion also acted as a bridge. The authors emphasize the role intermediaries such as catechists or medical assistants played in the African “appropriation” of Christianity. They examine the complex interaction with indigenous religious beliefs and practices, and zoom in on the part religions played in the independence movement, as well as on their reaction to independence itself. Coming at a moment when Belgium confronts its colonial past, this volume provides a timely reassessment of religion as a key factor.

“Never again” stands as one the central pledges of the international community following the end of the Second World War, upon full realization of the massive scale of the Nazi extermination programme. Genocide stands as an intolerable assault on a sense of common humanity embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other fundamental international instruments, including the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and the United Nations Charter. And yet, since the Second World War, the international community has proven incapable of effectively preventing the occurrence of more genocides in places like Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sudan. Is genocide actually preventable, or is “ever again” a more accurate catchphrase to capture the reality of this phenomenon? The essays in this volume explore the complex nature of genocide and the relative promise of various avenues identified by the international community to attempt to put a definitive end to its occurrence. Essays focus on a conceptualization of genocide as a social and political phenomenon, on the identification of key actors (Governments, international institutions, the media, civil society, individuals), and on an exploration of the relative promise of different means to prevent genocide (criminal accountability, civil disobedience, shaming, intervention).
