Even at the time I studied geography in secondary school, Australia was still considered a country of Aboriginals. Today, Australia figures as another European nation. Colonization is evil. It kills human beings and non European civilizations. It leaves no signs of language, legacy and even identity of peaceful people who if survive, wouldn't get to know their ancestry.

I am interested in the video's content, but the Narrator's accent makes it rather difficult to understand what's being said. I have to make an concerted effort to make out the words being said thus breaks my focus from grasping the story.
I didn't commit these atrocities, I was born in 2004 and just happened to be Belgian. When need to talk about this horrific event as much as the holocaust but blaming current generations for something their ancesters did is just wrong. It'd be like blaming Japanese/German people for WW2.

Many governments pass laws to fight racism and other forms of prejudice. Nevertheless, prejudice continues. Why? Because those laws only address a person’s actions. They cannot control a person’s thoughts and feelings. And prejudice starts in a person’s mind and heart. Is the fight against prejudice, then, a losing battle? Does a cure for prejudice exist

And yet every european power condemned the belgians, and the belgians themselves have admitted their guilt, trt how about the armenian and greek genocides?
Wow this was more horrific than the British colonial rule of the indian subcontinent
if you ask them, they’ll say „we brought civilisation to the animals“.
But about Ottoman or Erdogan now, they say „Barbarians“, or „Dictator“.
But, will the devil say that HE is the devil!?
STILL THE SAME UNTILL TODAY...
"THEY JUST WANT TO BRİNG DEMOCRACY"
The whole continent speaks english, france, belgium, dutch, german, a.s.o. now.
I think it is time to lend africa a real hand. These brothers and sisters deserve it, they have the right to receive help!
Belgian un soldiers did some horrific attrocities to congolese people in the 90s too
Fake crap because they were not allowed to drive and exstract peopel because they would be killed that's why they were part of the french convoy .
I like the Quote-"When the white man arrives".
We can't forget The Armenian Genocide.
Didn’t know anything about this . That’s sad .
Very poor sound leveling but great video
What the Belgians did was hell on earth, they should apologize to Africa. But turkey won't accept and apologize what the ottomans did to Armenia in the beginning of first world War.
You mean the murc's from france and britain they did that crap in the private state and not the belgian's
And Noone talks about this in so called western media of truth and freedom???
Whats more worse is they (westerner) teach others of democracy etc its time ppl shld ask questions............. 🙁
My condolences to those poor ppl and the native ppl of America (the real Americans) culprits and thieves will pay for their horrendous crimes 1 day.
Also not quite sure why TRT, has chosen to create a vidclip at this moment.
Apology awaiting process?
@@stribakkiri at least they showed what really happened in the past, name it anything u want but u can't deny the fact can u?
@@stribakkiri I never saw anything even close to coming from British, USA, France etc have u? 0
@@Cycy0099 Do you mean with "coming from British, USA, France etc", the media?
Video material or simply the subject being discussed/talked about?
@@Cycy0099 I already had most of the information, in a [or multiple] history lessons/classes, here in the Netherlands. Similar described events.
Also read about it in some books, during highschool period of time. Which was about 10 - 12 years ago.
I had not actually seen video material of it.
I am interested in the video's content, but the Narrator's accent makes it rather difficult to understand what's being said. I have to make an concerted effort to make out the words being said thus breaks my focus from grasping the story.
And the current king hasn't even bothered apologising.... how sickening
Yet, non of them today even try to say 'Sorry'. No remorse!
Who’s them? Dead people can’t talk.
I didn't commit these atrocities, I was born in 2004 and just happened to be Belgian.
When need to talk about this horrific event as much as the holocaust but blaming current generations for something their ancesters did is just wrong. It'd be like blaming Japanese/German people for WW2.
@@cdemr thank you! I’m in America and I have no white guilt either.
These people make hitler look like an angel.
Very informative video TRT 👌
Does TRT only have reporters with an Indian accent/heritage?
one day there will be revenge
Funny 😂

@@maklondemba9981 and how tf you think to match military power of the west? Dont be stupid 😂
@@petarlipovan350 there are military alliances. during the second world war the French officers gave the order to the colonies to rape the occupied territories. in italy and germany colonial troops raided and raped all women. if a war breaks out, surely the bankers and the billionaires will bring millions of troops from africa to fight. :)
@@theresecoco1887 bla bla bla
Many governments pass laws to fight racism and other forms of prejudice. Nevertheless, prejudice continues. Why? Because those laws only address a person’s actions. They cannot control a person’s thoughts and feelings. And prejudice starts in a person’s mind and heart. Is the fight against prejudice, then, a losing battle? Does a cure for prejudice exist

Apologising is not good enough. King Phillip need to extend his apologies by giving back what his ancestors took from Congo. I know that will never happen
My guy Leopold. He cracked at negotiating
How ironic that these champions of human rights actually are the greatest aggressors. Good work TRT
Sad
I think the picture at 2:24 is of the Arab slave trade not the Belgian Congo
That's what you were tought 🤨
@@simonkaggwanjala9597 I wasn’t thought anything about the Arab slave trade, I learned about it myself
@SystemRelevant As I’ve stated, I was never taught about the Arab slave trade, I learned about it myself
I have no words, and to think this wasn’t even that long ago
Now EUROPEAN commission is Silent. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Gog and Magog! At its face!
I saw extensive documentation on it years ago and this is a great summary. Did you know that the Belgian city of Antwerp can be derived from the term "hand throwing". In the pictures you can see the poor slaves whose hands were cut off. an entire city has been named after this practice
You see, this p*sses me off so bad, you're spreading false information without properly fact checking. The name of the city of Antwerp has NOTHING to do with Belgian Congo. It has existed long before Leopold colonized Congo. Get your facts straight.
@@josdeman5754 and you spread false information about me too. I said that the city was named after this practice, not that the city was named after this practice in the Congo. learn to read first!
@@josdeman5754 I think you're upset about being a Belgian with this brutal past. the black of your soul has been carried outwards. 10 million people in 40 years, that is many times larger than the Nazi Holocaust and you talk about the fact that the city already existed before
@@specialk5850 You clearly meant it so people would think it was named after the practices in Congo my friend, you can say what you want. You're one of the reasons society is in freefall, you cause corruption and spread misinformation.
@SystemRelevant It is based on the legend of Brabo fighting the giant Antigonus. It has nothing to do with the massacres in Congo.
Now that was the real genocide but unfortunately they have not yet recognised it as a genocide
Today they are claiming they are the champions of human rights...
Comparatively... who knows. Maybe they are. But according to you they are required to hang their heads in shame for stuff that happened before they were born??
Lucky for you
Western country hidden behind the human right
Koreans are very upset that the Belgian Embassy in Korea made an insincere apology for the assault on a clothing store employee by the wife of the Belgian Ambassador to Korea. So many Koreans are boycotting Belgian beer and chocolate.
When was this?
@@evansusmc It happened at Apr. 2021.
Would you like to send me links or title about it?
Thank you TRT for this report 👍
Chopping hands must be some local african punishment.Its not practiced in europe.
Bloody Mary begs to differ.
10 million sounds insanely unrealistic. Even now the population isnt close to that and tribal cultures were not that dense. I really doubt a lot of exaggerations here.
there are over 100 million people in the drc
hitler was not the 1st.... 😂😂😂
One of the great documentary
Thanks for the information.
SubhanAllah ...
The real history of European colonial countries that enslaved other peoples and committed many genocides around the world... The truth must be heard!
This is why west is rich.
Yeah stolen from Africa
Brussels is ironacially the home of the EU today and lectures Africans on human rights you could not make that one up!
Forget the apology, give them the money that was stripped away.
Leopold 2
King from Belgium in his colonial time murdered more people in the Congo than lived in Whole Belgium at self...
Do Video about the Armenian Genocide
@SystemRelevant because Trt promotes Turkish agenda.
TRT is truth.
@Proto Edwardian
Many Europeans have embraced their dark history.
Did u just copied vox John Harris documentary
Apology=ownership of the sadistic crimes committed against natives.
