Book excerpt: Outraged by the abuses of human life committed by the King of Belgium, Leopold II, Arthur Doyle began to document the events in the Congo. The Congo Free State was a former state in central Africa covering much of the territory that comprises of the modern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in the 1880s through agreements with European investors headed by Leopold II, King of the Belgians. Unlike other colonies, the Congo Free State was owned as the private property of this one man, and through this power, he stripped a country of its humanity by crimes only remotely rivalled by Hitler during the Holocaust.

Download or read book The Crime of the Congo Arthur Conan Doyle written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book was intended as an expos� of the situation in the so-called Congo Free State (labelled a "rubber regime" by Conan Doyle), an area occupied and designated as the personal property of Leopold II of Belgium and where the serious human rights abuses were occurring. Indigenous people in the region were being brutally exploited and tortured, particularly in the lucrative rubber trade. In the introduction to The Crime of the Congo Conan Doyle wrote: "I am convinced that the reason why public opinion has not been more sensitive upon the question of the Congo Free State is that the terrible story has not been brought thoroughly home to the people", a situation he intended to rectify. Conan Doyle was "strongly of the opinion" that the crimes committed on the Congo were "the greatest to be ever known",and he lauded the work of the Congo Reform Association. Conan Doyle was dismissive of the annexation of the state by Belgium, a situation intended to end the personal rule of the King. Conan Doyle noted that slavery and ivory poaching continued to occur after annexation and that "The Congo State was founded by the Belgian King, and exploited by Belgian capital, Belgian soldiers and Belgian concessionnaires. It was defended and upheld by successive Belgian Governments, who did all they could to discourage the Reformers".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crime of the Congo There are many of us in England who consider the crime which has been wrought in the Congo lands by King Leopold of Belgium and his followers to be the greatest which has ever been known in human annals. Personally I am strongly of that Opinion. There have been great expropriations like that of the Normans in England or of the English in Ireland. There have been massacres of populations like that of the South Americans by the Spaniards or of subject nations by the Turks. But never before has there been such a mixture of wholesale expropriation and wholesale massacre all done under an odious guise of philanthropy and with the lowest commercial motives as a reason. It is this sordid cause and the unctious hypocrisy which makes this crime unparalleled in its horror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The Congo Reform Association exposed gross and rampant abuses of labor and by public servants in King Leopold II of Belgium's Congo Free State, leading to the annexation of Congo by Belgium in 1908. In March, 1904, Dr. Henry Grattan Guinness (1861–1915), Edmund Dene Morel, and Roger Casement founded the Congo Reform Association. The movement was formed to aid the exploited and impoverished workforce of the Congo by drawing attention to their plight.The association gained the support of several famous writers such as Joseph Conrad, Anatole France, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mark Twain who contributed with their literary production to the cause. Mark Twain wrote a political satire named "King Leopold's Soliloquy", and Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this book - The Crime of the Congo.Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, generally considered a milestone in the field of crime fiction, and for the Adventures of Professor Challenger.

Download or read book Erasing the Board Report of the international research mission into crimes under international law committed against the Bambuti Pygmies in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo written by Réseau des Associations Autochtones Pygmées du Congo and published by Minority Rights Group. This book was released on 2004-07-06 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War crimes and crimes against humanity, including persecution, murder, forcible population transfer, torture, rape and extermination, have been committed against the Bambuti Pygmies in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). These crimes have taken place since the start of the second war in 1998 and continue up to the present. Bambuti communities remain at grave risk. The atrocities have been committed in the context of a war which has cost over 3.3 million lives through violence and conflict-related starvation and disease. Over 60,000 people have been killed in the north-eastern district of Ituri alone, according to United Nations estimates. The involvement of neighbouring states in the conflict, including Rwanda and Uganda, has been justified by them on security grounds, but is also directed towards the large-scale plunder of the DRC’s natural resources, including gold, diamonds and other minerals. This report details evidence of crimes committed against the Bambuti and makes a series of recommendations for advancing justice and preventing further violence.
