Every empire has a story it tells about itself. It speaks of civilization. Progress. Religion. Order.

The people who lived under that empire often remember something different.

The Congo was one of the richest places on Earth. Its people paid an unimaginable price as rubber and ivory were extracted through forced labor under King Leopold II’s rule. Millions are estimated to have died or suffered during that period according to many historical accounts.

Patrice Lumumba understood that colonialism was never just about taking land. It was about taking history. If you convince a people that their suffering was a gift then they may forget who benefited from it.

The scars of colonialism do not disappear when a flag comes down. They remain in economies built for extraction. They remain in borders drawn by outsiders. They remain in the memory of families who never received justice.

History cannot be changed but it can be told honestly. A nation cannot heal from wounds it is forbidden to acknowledge.
