コロナ・パンデミックのせいで延々延期になってた一大イベント。ベルギー国王のコンゴ訪問。
BBC Belgian king and queen land in DR Congo 8 Jun 2022 By Emery Makumeno
「Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde have arrived in Kinshasa at the beginning of a long-awaited week-long visit at the invitation of Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi.
It will be King Philippe’s first visit to the Democratic Republic Congo since ascending to the throne in 2013.
The trip - postponed by the pandemic - has been hailed by the presidency as an opportunity for reconciliation.」
2013年の即位以来、これが最初の訪問の機会となる。
和解のための、植民地時代当時の移送美術品の返還などがなされる由。
「That past remains painful.
Millions of Congolese suffered acts of cruelty, particularly during the reign of King Leopold II, who owned the Congo Free State as his personal property.」
レオポルト二世の私有財産としての、かなりアレな統治については、我々のうっすい世界史の教科書にさえ言及があるほどでしたからねー…。
