The Belgian colonisation in Central Africa
During the period when the Parliamentary Commission on Colonial Grant was in session, the BELvue Foundation published a document entitled : ” The Belgian Colonisation in Central Africa “. This document was presented to the Commission.
The association URBA-KBAU felt challenged by the approach taken, which focused on the negative aspects of colonisation or favoured skewed interpretations of objective facts. It even went so far as to completely omit important historical facts. A working group reviewed this dossier in its entirety and proposed to the Baudouin Foundation, which had sponsored BELvue’s initiative, a series of amendments to the Belvue Historical Dossier.
