“De katholieke voorvechter voor de bevrijding van de slaven was de Franse kardinaal Lavigerie, Aartsbisschop van Carthago en Algiers. In 1868 had hij de congregatie van de witte paters opgericht, met als missie het in tot dan toe ontoegankelijke gebied van Afrika paal en perk te stellen aan de slavernij. Dat onbekende gebied liep van de zuidgrens van de Soedan tot aan de Engelse koloniën van Zuid Afrika in zijn volle breedte. De eerste karavaan die Centraal-Afrika bereikte vertrok in 1868 vanuit Marseille, de reis ervaringen waren van die aard dat Lavigerie zijn mensen liet begeleiden door gewapende oud Zoeaven, zij hadden in Italië de Pauselijke staten verdedig tegen de nationalistische legers van Garibaldi die vochten voor de eenwording voor Italië, de Pauselijke troepen verloren die strijdt en de Zoeaven, waaronder veel Nederlanders die staatloos waren geworden keerde naar huis terug, daardoor waren de eerste Nederlanders die de Afrikaanse binnenlanden binnentrokken 3 Zoeaven. ”

“Bij Leopold II hoort, ondanks kritische bedenkingen over zijn beleid, eveneens en zeker zo belangrijk, erkentelijkheid voor de entree van de volkeren van westelijk Centraal-Afrika, tot de wereldgemeenschap.”
