Synopsis
Excerpt from The Future of the Congo: An Analysis and Criticism of the Belgian Government's Proposals for a Reform of the Condition of Affairs in the Congo Submitted to His Majesty's Government on Behalf of the Congo Reform Association
The determining features of the System devised to carry out this policy have been these. The natural products of the country having commercial value on the world's markets have been claimed by the Belgian rulers of the Congo on the ground that the native tribes and communities have no rights in the land upon which these products grow, and the inhabitants of the country have been driven by compulsory labour to collect these pro ducts for their self-constituted alien owners.

The Future of the Congo (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Belgian government's proposals for reforming the Congo in reaction to global and domestic criticism over the brutal exploitation of its people under King Leopold II's rule. The author argues the proposals fall woefully short of creating meaningful reform, continuing the oppressive system of taxation for private profit that has decimated the native population through violence and disease. Despite claims to the contrary, land tenure rights that encourage development and self-sufficiency remain denied to Congo's indigenous people. By situating these reforms within the broader context of international agreements and ethical obligations, the book lays bare the Belgian government's failure to uphold their duty to protect and uplift the Congolese people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331503576_0
