Historic letter of King Leopold II to Colonial Missionaries 1883. You will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the best to protect your interests in that part of the world

Historic letter of King Leopold II to Colonial Missionaries, 1883

Below is a historic and mind-blowing letter of Leopold II, a notoriously Belgian King who exploited the Congo region, to missionaries. According to Leopold II, the missionaries were sent there not to teach Africans about God but to water the ground for colonialist to conquer and subjugate Africans.

Republic of Biafra Anthem

Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.
