Since you are passionate of genocide recognition as I am, I ask of you to help me identify the nature of the Congo Free State atrocities.

A new article has been created called 'The Congo Genocide', related to what I mentioned above. Although this event is one of the largest and most notable atrocities Belgium did during its colonial years, we need to be mindful on whether the nature of it can be classified as an actual genocide. One of the most important key factors of genocide is 'the intent to exterminate the group, as a whole or in part'. There are debates whether what happened in the Congo Free State is one or not (ref ).

I'm not too sure. What do you think?
