Belgium’s King Philippe reaffirmed his deepest regrets on Wednesday for the exploitation, racism and acts of violence during his country’s colonization of the Democratic Republic of Congo, but stopped short of formally apologizing.

Welcomed the devil's offspring and his witch dog female, they danced and smiled foot them. The world will never respect Africa yet until it shows self-respect.
One of the most racist countries and many of these people still live in the nostalgia of colonialism though they are expert in pretending to be polite
We don't need an apology, damages done, we need to take what's ours
I shouldn't have done it in the first place
Italy should do the same to Libya return all our stolen artifacts and wealth 🇱🇾
lol. What else is new. White folk not taking self-accountability for their actions and sweeping things under the rug.
Belgium will always be remember as the most brutal country in the world
What is that kmt
It was not a Belgian colony. It was a personal property of King Leopold.
well America did also colonize native America, so basically they should return their land to native Americans. They also took confederate land in the civil war so doesn't this mean that america also committed crimes against other people/communities?
STOP THE LIES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER SORRY FOR ANYTHING YOU HAVE DONE
Now how can we exploit you for your resources
They are clapping for a thief bringing back stolen goods. This world is upside down.
Strongest survive and dominate, go back far enough through history and everyone's a victim, its just become politically correct to complain about injustices that happened the last 400 years. No one really cares what the turks did to Europe for example, if you don't know what I'm talking about, look into the Ottoman Wars in Europe. Point being lets just agree to move forward in a civilized non violent way and communicate through culture and fair trade, at least then our successors don't have to apologize for our actions.
Africa taking their land back,,,,eviction papers for all European's
#FakeMASK
This is NOT a Congolese original mask. Counterfeit!!!
🪓 🚩
Over 30 Million people from Congo 🇨🇩 where Murderd during this time of Belgium Wicked colonial rule a fact left out of History. And who helped finance this.the Synagogue of Satan aka the Rothschilds and other Wicked people in High Hidden places
Why did the Belgium cut off hands in the Congo?
More people died under Belgium rule then jews in the holocaust.
The only thing he should have said is," we the people of Belgium 🇧🇪 would like to pay the Congolese 🇨🇩 people reparations for the terrorist acts that we committed against the Congolese people."
CIA title 50 coup in Congo. (1960)
The fact NBC would put the word racist in apostrophes tells us all we need to know about how deeply white supremacist entitlement pervades top management of this alleged "news platform". 🤦🏼♂️
They are not sorry for what they did to us black people we black people should unite and live as 1 build our own economy and society
Belgium's King Philippe should have stayed home in Brussels rather than stand there at the podium lying about the genocide Belgium first inflicted on the Kongo Kingdom in the 1880s. Up to 10 million native Congolese were killed by Belgian King Leopold II. King Philippe is only visiting the Congo now because at home, the Belgians are making waves over the horrors inflicted on the Congolese people by Belgian rulers. In 2020, after the George Floyd killing, Belgians tore down statues glorifying King Leopold II. The Congo today is a failed state as the result of the destroyed social order created by the destruction of the Kongo Kingdom and the colonial depravity that followed under Belgian rule.
Bro most European countries committed horrible acts during colonization and they refuse to offer reparations
I see my comment was not added…. apologies NOT ENOUGH.
LP reacted d ryt way, she is Marioncotillardd.Uno need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationss. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.
If you are not familiar with the historical context of Belgians in the Congo, it’s one of the most brutal and disgusting examples of abuse of power by an colonial power.

Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.
No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.
since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.
DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting all top Trumpists.
MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
….
More Very Disturbing Trends –
1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE
2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs
3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment; their oath is meaningless
4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always
This is just normal Trumpist behavior.
Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?
when will these evil trumpist cops be fired and arrested? they wont because they have qualified immunity!
nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

He didn't need to apologize, people need to get off this white guilt or hate train and move on, if black people hate white people so much now adays then move back to where your ancestors came from and leave us alone!!!
They took it fair and square. No need for return
As Congo leaders throw little children down 300’ holes to retrieve cobalt, for the electric vehicles mandated by Biden and green new deal lunatics.
The new colonial rulers of Congo are the green new deal and other western leftists, throwing 8 year old girls 200’ down holes to retrieve cobalt so the cathodes don’t overheat on Debbie Stabenow’s new electric vehicle ..
He did apologize. Deepest regrets is an apology.
A Great day and celebration 🎉
Well it's a good start in the right direction.
