Was reading about this on Wikipedia and the truth is even more insane. The caption on Wikipedia is
“A congolese man, Nsala, looking at the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter who was killed, cooked, and cannibalized by members of the Force Publique”
My first thought was, if I was in that situation, I would be planning how to kill whoever did this. Makes sense them being an army would be a pretty big deterrent. I wonder if there was a guerilla resistance of some kind at the time.
Not much. The peoples of the Congo were very isolated from one another, and the Belgians put significant effort in keeping them that way. You had small uprisings, but they were generally local, and dealt with… extremely brutally.
I’d become the fucking punisher if you did this to me. I would make sure to kill you slow and make you watch as I eat you. Being a parent makes your irrational, and I’d do irrational things to get revenge for my kids.
