To all in the present and in the future, to the Members of Parliament and the Senate of the Kingdom of Belgium and the Democratic Republic of Congo, to His Majesty Joseph Kabila and to Mister President the King Albert II
 
BECAUSE since its creation as the independent state Congo, so in fact since the purchase of these vast territories (2.344.000 km2,  72 times the size of Belgium) by king Leopold II from the European power nations at that time, the two countries have never been really independent ;
   
BECAUSE Belgians have always been dependent from Congo;
   
BECAUSE only Congo could have legally proposed the independence of Belgium, which would have been refused by Belgium;
   
BECAUSE in this sense allowing the independence of Congo in 1960 was an imposture, a kind of “political lapsus”;
   
BECAUSE only one of the parties contributed to the development of the other, made the civilization and the progress of the other possible, namely Congo;
   
BECAUSE the wealth of the one has always been the misery of the other and vice versa and the opposite;
   
BECAUSE the real nature of our bond has to explode in order to assume all responsibilities;
  
WE DEMAND
 
The recognition of our congenital heritage: the nursing earth of Congo
   
The reattachment of Belgium to Congo, let both fuse and merge together in one transcontinental state of which the capital will be African
   
The erection of a Lumumba statue on the Martyrs square in Brussels
   
That Belgium becomes known as “the Overseas Territory of Congo”
   
The automatic Congolese citizenship for all Belgians
   
The automatic European ID for all Congolese
   
The move of all European Institutions to Kinshasa
   
The renaming of certain neighborhoods: while the Namur Gate in Brussels is already called Matongé we propose also that the neighborhood of Kintambo (or any other) will be called Tervuren
   
The renaming of Brazzaville in Djoû-li Congo
   
That Lingala will become the only official language on the whole Congolese territory, including the land actually known as the kingdom of Belgium
   
That the whole of Belgium becomes a “territory of facilities”, this to allow and tolerate the expression of French and Dutch in the new “Royal and Popular Republic of Congo”
   
That Lingala will be learned in all schools, so it becomes the language of the administration of the legal system
 


The nationalization of the exploitation of all the sources of the soil and the immediate re-exploitation of the uranium in the Shinkolowe mines
   
That the attributions of public markets (above all those linked with energy sources and the weapons industry) primarily go to our national companies (yes, we are pushing cynicism to its utmost limits here)
   
That and so on and so on
 
 
Back is Beautiful.
 
Sincerely,
