Original Note:
The Belgian Congo was a colony that existed from 1908 to 1960. When colonized, Congo had a population of approximately 9 million people. When freed, it had a population of 15 million. These statistics make the tweet’s claim of 15 million murdered unlikely, if not impossible. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1067196/population-dr-congo-historical/
