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. 

Book: Little Boygium, Wonderful Experience: The story of an African immigrant

Life experience in Belgium

In a country like Belgium, an African needs to be conscious, intelligent, and smart, because Belgium committed the most heinous crime against Africans during the colonial era in the Belgian Congo.’ Under the administration of King Leopold II, over ten million Africans were maimed, disfigured, and killed.

When Polish-American Hilary Koprowski claimed to have discovered vaccines against smallpox in the 1950s, he quickly went to Congo. He injected thousands of children with the contaminated vaccine of Aids and Ebola viruses. Also, a contaminated vaccine against leukemia was used on Congolese children.

The Germans used blacks for the most sinister experiments during their occupation in Togo, a small country in West Africa, while South Africans suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Netherlands and Britain. The reason AIDS has killed thousands of South Africans without ceasing.

Due to the criminal past of colonial leaders, including Belgium, when the African community came to me to investigate a notorious hospital in Antwerp called ‘Stuivenberg’, the reason why any African who goes there doesn’t come out alive, I considered it a serious case to follow.

The fear of Africans in Europe, to confront authorities whenever something wrong happens to an African, has given automatic license to governments and nationals to treat Africans the way they like with impunity.

 

As a matter of fact, since many Africans in Europe don’t have a common platform to express their grievances and crimes against them, their situation has never improved.

When I stepped into the hospital, what I experienced made me believe what the African community was saying. 

"The doctors at the hospital deliberately kill the African patients to remove their organs for the desperate Belgians on the waiting list for an organ transplant." I wasn't welcomed. It was one of the toughest moments of my life.

I revealed this investigation in a small book called ‘An African in Antwerp,' then later updated it to ‘Little Boygium-Wonderful Experience.’ 

When the publication reached the office of ‘Stad Antwerpen’ (Antwerp City), one of the officials, Els Bruyndonckx, confronted me over the article and called it a ‘Stupid article.’ Why? According to her, the husband is a journalist who wouldn't publish such a stupid article.

“Well, your husband is a journalist, but he is not an African; moreover, the crime committed against Africans is nowhere to be seen in any Belgian newspapers, but one often reads: ‘An African has stolen bread from the supermarket.' I answered.

I have found five mobile phones, three wallets containing money and credit cards. One of the wallets has the 4-digit number required to withdraw an amount exceeding six thousand Euros from the account of one of the owners, yet I didn't use it. 

I handed that particular wallet to the police. The news about this kindness didn’t appear anywhere in the Belgian newspaper. Thank God the woman traced to reward me.

According to Els, due to the publication, people fear visiting Stuivenberg Hospital. The fact is that fear already exists, which is the reason I went to do the investigation. 

Thereafter, I became the number one enemy in Belgium. However, I was very happy because the results of the investigation and the publication were good. The City of Antwerp sent a delegation to the hospital to investigate.

I disguised myself many times and went there during the heat up and saw policemen guiding the hospital. Above all, Stuivenberg Hospital now remains one of the safest hospitals in Antwerp, hardly hearing the death of any African, after my publication. 

If I should ask, sometimes is it worth fighting on behalf of Africans?”

About seventy-five percent of Africans in Antwerp aren't aware that I even went to the hospital at all to investigate, because of a lack of reading. I have lived a life of pain and struggle, putting the life of my family in danger and unhappiness, all because of the search for the truth.

Concerning the ‘truth,’ it is always hard to get someone to support you. The reason is that I have faced and fought this battle alone, but when it comes to crime, it is always easy to get an accomplice, because crime is a business. 

Belgium can pretend they don’t know me; I will also pretend I don’t know them.

Even though since I wrote the book 'Little Boygium -Wonderful Experience,' no one has given a comment but taking into consideration what happened in Antwerp when the book came out, I've personally given my book five stars.

The Stuivenberg Hospital finally closed down

 

On September 18, 2023, one of the Belgian newspapers, "Gazet van Antwerpen," came out with a publication that Stuivenberg Hospital will be permanently closed down and the final patients are being transferred to another hospital, the ZNA Cadix.

 

The short article about the decision of the authorities to close the hospital doors to patients was never made public. "The entire moving operation brings a definitive end to 138 years of the Stuivenberg Hospital," the statement read.

 

What I do know is that, after my investigations at the hospital, major changes occurred to make the facility a better place. However, hundreds of immigrants are still terrified to visit that hospital because of its past and the stigma that has damaged its reputation.

 

Therefore, I do not doubt that the hospital was closed for this specific reason.
