The claim of 13M Congolese killed is not based on any scientific or historical data & has been debunked as false & impossible by several historians. Similarly Hochschild's book making this and other claims about Congo free state has been demonstrated as sensational & false. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/king-hochschilds-hoax/ https://mises.org/mises-wire/belgian-colonialism-congo-facts-and-fiction

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1895429443696443876
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
