Leopold II: Belgium 'wakes up' to its bloody colonial past
Turn and fire
Among history's greatest slaughterers of their own people, Leopold fails to qualify, since he was really tagged as a slaughterer of negro colonial folk, alien to Leopold's own white Belgian population. It gets turned over to the Imperialist Belgian Government...............
Leopold's blunder was not actually a racist one. And his own people did not know or care.
He is now blamed for all deaths of Congo negroes from all causes, not merely slavery. He is blamed for mortality in the African Congo, full stop. Who actually did all the killing and atrocities? Take a guess. Disease, White officers, Congolese soldiers, a lot of them. Why not take a closer look

Roger Casement, Wikipedia
Casement also did a report in Central America and said it was worse than Congo! He was later executed by the British as an Irish militant.
Force Publique, Wikipedia. The officers only were Europeans from different countries. The soldiers were Africans.
Stalin, on the other hand, slaughtered tens of millions of his own Russians.
Many Middle East and Asian Rulers did similar things, often.
Cambodia, classic.
