It is still covered by concrete ... anything involving the Congo is
shrouded in mistery here as there is still a desire from some to shroud the
role our Royal Family played in the murder of 10 million negroes. Since
100-year old stuff is still locked away I wonder if 46 yr old material
would be uncovered.
 
BTW, as a detail. The only reliable source of the mass-murders in the Congo
comes from American missionaries, they've chronicled the abuses and it was
quite a thing in the American press in those days. In Europe they stayed
quiet about it as most likely any 19th & 20 th century colonial country
had blood on its hands ...
 
The Congo has been independant since 1960 ... yet only this year did they
have their first free elections with more than a single candidate.
