Punishments in the Congo Free State under Leopold II
Punishments in the Congo Free State under Leopold II Kwabena Ofori Osei 34 Views • 4 years ago

The horrific atrocities that took place in the Congo Free State are often compared to the Holocaust, with king Leopold II of Belgium being compared to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Between 1885 and 1908, Leopold II personally ruled the Congo, in sub Saharan Africa, which was largely unexplored at this time, as only the coastal areas had been claimed by other European countries. He named it the “Congo Free State,” which is rather ironic when you realise what went on there.
The local population was anything but free.
(1885-1908)

Ghana’s Quiet Deal With France: Strategic Masterstroke or Risky Alignment? Baka Omubo 37 Views • 3 months ago

On today’s episode of The Breakdown, we unpack Ghana’s growing relationship with France at a time when countries across West Africa are cutting ties and pushing back against French influence. Why is Ghana moving in the opposite direction? From President John Mahama’s recent visit to France and talks with Emmanuel Macron, to Ghana’s landmark security partnership with the European Union, we break down what’s really behind these decisions—and what they mean for the region.
