A Letter Of Admonition To Sophie Wilmes, The Belgium Prime Minister

 

Sophie Wilmes, the current Belgian Prime Minister

Dear Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes, certain things are going on in the country, which I consider it necessary to let you know, since from the colonial era, the Belgian government has committed and supported so much crime to the extent that the government can no longer acknowledge what is a crime and what is not.

 

There are three great politicians I deeply respect in Belgium. They are the Mayor of Antwerp, Bart De Wever, the former Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel, and the current Health Minister, Maggie De Block.

 

Due to these politicians, whose hard work has transformed Belgium, I have to restrain myself to choose my words carefully over issues I seriously consider as a crime. There is no one above the law, yet in Belgium, many crimes are committed against black people with impunity.

 

Belgium is one of the European countries that has committed horrible crimes against black people in Africa, especially in its former colony of Congo. Surprisingly, at the end of the systematic abuse and crime against black people in Africa, the Belgian government extended it by building statues and naming streets after the perpetrator, King Leopold II.

 

In my opinion, Belgium should have been famous as the world’s best quality beers and chocolates producer, but the country is not known to have burned down the houses of villagers, killed over 10 million Africans, including women and children, to satisfy the greed of one monster called Leopold II.

 

People are educated not only to be leaders but also to find solutions to problems affecting our society, yet, like America, it seems Belgium has also taken delight in committing crimes against black people rather than finding solutions to ease racial tensions and violence around the world.

 

I have currently in Belgium for the past 20 years. Nobody told me that Belgium is a country that has no respect for black people. My experience as a black man and my efforts as a writer revealed a lot to me about how Belgium underestimates black people like the United States of America.

 

I want to make it clear to the Belgian government that having access to someone’s blog to remove all the articles I have written about the crimes your country and King Leopold II committed in Africa is not only a violation of my rights but a serious crime that needs to be addressed.

 

In fact, nothing favors a black man in Belgium, including the judicial system. If there is a unique law in Belgium, I would have taken a good lawyer to sue the government for illegally and criminally getting into my blog to remove published articles exposing your crimes in Africa, while you have a statue of the perpetrator in your country.

 

To the Belgian government, it is right to build a statue for a king, that did commit horrible crimes against humanity in Africa with impunity because the victims were black, but it's wrong for an African writer to write articles about the crimes Belgium committed in Africa, so the government or whoever has the right to take away my articles.

 

It’s even shameful for the Belgian government; instead of finding solutions to save the lives of people who have been sent to their untimely graves by the coronavirus, you had the time to go into a blog to remove my articles because they are nightmares to you.

 

This is not the first time the Belgium government has removed my published article from the web but this time, going into my blog to remove and edit links of my articles about Belgium and the royal family is a serious crime I will write about it because Belgium will definitely send me to jail if I commit such a crime by illegally gaining access into the government’s computer to delete something from it.

 

The Belgian government and the royal family can’t stand the truth, which reason they find my articles uncomfortable. Why can’t the government do the right thing by demolishing those senseless statues rather than declaring war on my articles? Why has the Belgian government and the royal family, for decades, seen that they are supporting crimes by building a statue for a killer rather than a king?

 

Stuivenberg Hospital

 

A couple of years ago, when I went to the notorious Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp to investigate the abnormally high death rate of black people in that hospital, the City of Antwerp called me a crazy man, but they didn’t call the Belgian government or the royal family crazy for building a statue for a criminal.

 

However, one thing the Belgian government can never deny is that after my investigation at the Stuivenberg, the hospital is now one of the safest hospitals in Antwerp. People think they have the power to do whatever wrong thing they like, but often forget that any wrong that they do will eventually come back to bite them in the rear, and you will never see it coming.

 

If my investigation wasn’t accurate, that Africans were deliberately killed and organs removed, why then, Mayor of Antwerp, Patrick Janssens, sent a group of police to protect the hospital for two weeks? Evildoers always run when nobody is after them. The police were there because the crime against Africans in that hospital was uncovered.

 

The Belgian government can underestimate me and continue to give me disrespect because I don’t need their respect, but please, the government or whoever is responsible must stop taking articles from my blog because it’s a crime.

 

They must put an end to it immediately because that’s not going to stop me from writing, and finally, all the articles the Belgian government or whoever is responsible has removed from my blog shall be rewritten or appear as new articles. 

What Does Kevin De Bruyne 'Black Lives Matter' Jersey Mean To Belgium?

Kevin De Bruyne is a Belgian professional football player who will be 29 on June 28, 2020. His prowess in football as a midfield player has enabled him to play for the league club Manchester City and the Belgian National Team.

After hundred days of the English premier league suspension by the coronavirus, Manchester City and Arsenal players exhibited jerseys on the soccer field with the inscription 'Black Lives Matter' behind.

Following the brutal murder of the African-American, George Floyd, many organizations and football players around the globe have shown solidarity and supported the 'Black Lives Matter,' movement, since there is also a serious issue of racism in football.

Manchester City player, Kevin De Bruyne was among other players to denounce racism in soccer as he kneels on the field. However, I strongly believe De Bruyne's action may trigger many questions of interest.

The footballer comes from Belgium, a country that has hailed and supported colonial crimes by erecting statues and naming streets after Leopold II, a king that maimed, hacked the wrists and limbs of children and killed thousands of Congolese.

Why for decades, it has never been a subject of interest to Kevin De Bruyne and other Belgium players, including Romelu Lukaku and Vincent Kompany, to speak about that inglorious statue of Leopold II, which has brought shame, disrespect, and insults to the black man?

You need to consider people who deliberately do the wrong things, yet pretend they have done something good very dangerous. That is both the Belgium government and its royal family. If there isn't any statue for Hitler for killing Jews, then there shouldn't be any Leopold II's statue for killing Africans because we are all human beings.

The color of a person doesn't matter than the brain he has, therefore this color issue was just institutionalized as a barrier for the greedy white people to oppress other people to work as slaves for them, leading to slavery, colonialism brutalities and Apartheid.

Marc Dutroux is a Belgian convicted pedophile who killed children. He was convicted in 1989 for the abduction and rape of five young girls and in 2004, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for the abduction, rape, and killings of young girls. 

Since 2004, I am waiting for the Belgium government to unveil the statue of Dutroux but it has never happened. Sometimes I wonder why a country that has gained world recognition in beer and chocolate productions, will ruin their reputation in this manner?

Surprisingly, despite all the problems, including demonstrations and hate that have generated against the government and the royal family, over those stupid statues, the Belgian government wasn't prepared to remove them, until angry protesters defaced one of Leopold's statue in Ekeren, one Belgium's municipals.

The removal of Leopold's statue in Ekeren has a voice that if the Belgium government or the royal family is wise, they should listen to. Also, Kevin De Bruyne's jersey also has a message that if they listen carefully they will hear.

Already, statues serving slavery and colonial interest are being pulled down. The Belgian government and the royal family shouldn't wait for another 'George Floyd' to be killed, followed by riots, before they consider pulling down the senseless Leopold's statues.

A word to the wise is enough.

DOES THE ROYAL FAMILY OF BELGIUM SUPPORT CRIME?

The Royal Family of Belgium: King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, and their children.

“It takes a million people to build up a good reputation, but it takes one stupid fool to destroy everything they have done,” sings the late Lucky Dube, South Africa’s reggae legend. This is the exact situation of the Royal Family of Belgium, as one of its ancestors, King Leopold II, was a greedy, ruthless ruler and a murderer.

Some women have given birth to monsters to rule this world. Apart from Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein, etc, another evil man whose crimes against humanity shocked the world is King Leopold II. 

Born on 17 December 1865 in Brussels, the horrible crimes Leopold committed were swept under the carpet, but the hump in the carpet has exposed his heinous crimes to be seen by the whole world.

In the 1880s, when Europe was scrambling over the continent of Africa like ants stumbling upon a sugar source, Congo became the personal property of King Leopold II of Belgium. 

The 905,000 square miles (76 times larger than Belgium) of African rainforest held vast natural mineral resources, including rubber, a commodity in high demand in late 19th-century industrial Europe.

King Leopold II of Belgium was responsible for the deaths and mutilation of 10 million Congolese Africans during the late 1800s. On his throne in Brussels, Leopold gave orders to his commanding officer to: Cut off the heads of the men and hang them on the village palisades, also their sexual members, and to hang the women and the children on the palisade in the form of a cross.”  

Leopold’s reign of terror wasn’t only the cutting off of the heads and hands of the innocent, helpless Congolese, but flogging them to death, starving them into forced labour, holding children ransom, and burning villages, as a punishment for those who failed to meet the rubber quotas set by the Belgian officers.

The disturbing part of this story is that after the death of Leopold II, his successors (The Belgian Royal Family) never took his crimes into account. Instead, he was hailed as a hero, naming of streets named after him and a statue built in his honor. 

That’s where the Royal Family went wrong because the dead can’t be mocked. There are many restless souls haunting people in their homes. There are houses where people can’t stay inside, all because of the horrible circumstances those people were murdered.

The lunatic King Leopold II's statue

Adolf Hitler killed over six million Jews. In Germany, streets named after him have been changed, but not in Belgium. The government has named many streets after the lunatic Leopold II, and many of his statues are all over Belgium. 

A country that doesn't support crime wouldn't do what the government did. The reason I say it clearly and loudly is that the Royal Family of Belgium supports crime.
