The Belgian Congo was a miserable episode in history by all accounts - often considered one of most terrible examples of recent colonialism. Something to bear in mind next time next time you are chomping down on a delicious Belgian chocolate what with that industry being a direct legacy of colonialism.

I will definitely keep this in mind and flog myself on a bimonthly schedule.
Luckily I havent seen any Belgian chocolate on sale here yet, ha. Hopefully the Swiss have stayed isolated long enough to not add in any more European guilt!
