“I make an appeal to the people of the civilized world, whose representatives signed the Berlin Act of 1885, and the Brussels Act of 1890, to unite in putting pressure upon their respective Governments to take the territories known as the independant Congo State out of the hands of King Leopold II, now ruler over a million square miles in Africa, inhabited by twenty million negroes; and by such measures as may be decided upon at a new Conference, to ensure that the provisions of the Berlin and Brussels Acts shall be effectively carried out in those territories.”
Edmund Dene Morel, The Congo Slave State: A Protest Against the New African Slavery

“Let us refrain from referring to the Congo as a Belgian colony, let us avoid writing of ‘Belgian misrule.”
Edmund Dene Morel
