Som flamlænder ved jeg alt for godt, at de belgiske politikere tidligere opfostrede Mobutu, som var en simpel tyv, og også den franske Afrika-politik har ofte været samvittighedsløst medskyldig sammen med politiske personer, som ikke interesserede sig en døjt for deres eget folks elendighed.
As a Fleming, I know only too well that in the past, Belgian politicians nurtured Mobutu, who was a common thief, and also that the French Africa policy was often one of unscrupulous complicity with political figures who did not give a damn about the misery of their own people.
