A year ago, a Brussels Court handed down a historic ruling, finding the Belgian state guilty of crimes against humanity during its colonial period in Congo. Justice Info met two of the five metis women who have since then received compensation. Born of a Belgian father and Congolese mother they were taken from their families between 1948 and 1951.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The decision handed down in December 2024<\/a> caused quite a stir, as it was the first time that a state had been found guilty of crimes against humanity during its colonial period. This legal victory for five women<\/a> born to Belgian fathers and Congolese mothers whom Belgium took from their families, paves the way for others. Between 1948 and 1951, nearly 15,000 Belgian mixed-race children were abducted, declared to have no known father, and placed in religious missions several hundred kilometres from their home villages. Mixed marriages were considered a \u201csin\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belgian state appealed to the Court of Cassation following the ruling of the Brussels Court of Appeal, which ordered it to pay \u20ac50,000 \u2013 plus interest at a legal rate dating back to when they were abducted \u2013 to the five plaintiffs: Monique Bitu Bingi, No\u00eblle Verbeken, Simone Ngalula, Marie-Jos\u00e9 Loshi, and L\u00e9a Tavares Mujinga. The women did not wish to disclose the final amounts that they have received. The Court of Cassation has not yet ruled on the case, and if it overturns the judgment, the plaintiffs may be required to repay the money while awaiting a new trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA price cannot be put on a life\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA price cannot be put on a life, but there must be some reparation,\u201d says L\u00e9a, now 79 years old. L\u00e9a married a Belgian man. She now lives north of Brussels, where she spoke to Justice Info along with Simone, whom she met in the same religious congregation 60 years ago and calls her \u201clittle sister\u201d. The two women, born to a Congolese mother and a Belgian father, agreed to look back on their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was two years old when I was taken from my parents in 1948,\u201d says L\u00e9a. \u201cThe state had already taken my brother a year earlier, but I was still too young then. I was not yet weaned and still wore diapers. They waited until my father was on vacation and then sent in the military. If my mother had refused, they would have sent her to prison.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9a was placed in the religious mission of Katende in the central-western Kasai region of what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was hundreds of miles from her village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was completely disoriented. I didn\u2019t understand the language, their food was strange and there was no more milk, I was weaned immediately. They took away my little dress, my shoes, my socks, and left me barefoot. I slept on a small wooden bed without sheets or a pillow, just a blanket like the ones they gave to prisoners in the camps or the ones you put in the trunk of a car. We washed in the river, there were no towels to dry ourselves with in the morning, no toothbrushes, no toilet paper. The conditions were inhumane. If you refused to eat, it was your problem, not the nuns\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abandonment after abandonment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Above all was the feeling of abandonment. \u201cAt that age, we still wanted the smell of our mothers,\u201d L\u00e9a continues. \u201cMy father came back from Portugal to find me but when he arrived his child was gone, and he divorced my mother. She came to see me once or twice at the mission, but then she fell very ill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9a remained until she was 14 in this religious mission, where abuse and food deprivation could be a daily occurrence. She was then sent to Mikalayi, southwest of Kananga, to continue her education. L\u00e9a was abandoned once again in 1960, when Congo became independent, by the same sisters who had taken her away 12 years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had just obtained a teaching qualification and was waiting for the sisters to come and get me, but no one came. All the other children had left and I couldn\u2019t stay there,\u201d says the 70-year-old. On the eve of independence, tensions rose in the Kasai region and the congregation was evacuated. The nuns managed to flee in UN trucks, leaving behind some 50 mixed-race girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were placed in a dispensary, \u201cright next to the morgue\u201d, Simone recalls, supervised by militiamen who abused them after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

The \u201cchildren of sin\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L\u00e9a did not know what to do. \u201cI couldn\u2019t stay in Mikalayi anymore, but I didn\u2019t know what transport to take, so I followed a girl to her village with my little cardboard suitcase.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she arrived in the village, she was introduced to a member of her mother\u2019s ethnic group. Luckily, he turned out to be her grandfather, and his family arranged for her to return to her native village. Her mother was very ill and died a few years later. Her father was living in Portugal at the time, and \u201cas soon as he heard I was coming back to the village, he asked me to join him. I wanted to work in Congo, so I refused,\u201d L\u00e9a recalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were called children of sin,\u201d says Simone. \u201cI didn\u2019t even know I had brothers. I only know my story now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had become strangers in our own families,\u201d L\u00e9a continues. \u201cWe didn\u2019t grow up with them, as they excluded us from family gatherings. They rejected us because of the Belgian state. I no longer had a name or an identity. My name was just L\u00e9a, and I didn\u2019t have a date of birth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mixed-race girls from the Katende mission stayed in touch, even though their life paths took them to different countries. L\u00e9a and Simone married Belgian men and ended up in Brussels. \u201cWe are even more like sisters than blood sisters; we grew up together,\u201d L\u00e9a says quietly. As the years passed, these sisters met regularly, feeling the need to retrace their journey and rediscover their identity. This was especially true for Monique, who travelled to Congo to find colonial archives. \u201cWhy take away the children? For what reasons? That\u2019s why we went to court,\u201d L\u00e9a says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhenever we met, we cried. We realized that what we had been through was not normal,\u201d Simone recounts. The Belgian government apologized in March 2018, but no compensation was planned. \u201cAll I had left was \u2018Papa State,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cBelgium ruined my life, and I am still wondering if it can be repaired,\u201d adds L\u00e9a. \u201cWords alone weren\u2019t enough; action was needed. The decision brings us relief, partly because the story is now public knowledge and \u2018Papa State\u2019, as we called it, has been ordered to pay compensation. We applaud the courage of the Belgian justice system. When you make a mistake, you have to make amends.\u201d L\u00e9a, like Simone, now wants to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was in contact with several sisters from other countries just before the verdict, in Chad, Rwanda, Nigeria, Canada. We talked, and many of them were very angry about what we had been through,\u201d says L\u00e9a. But according to plaintiffs\u2019 lawyer Mich\u00e8le Hirsch, no other legal proceedings like those of the five Belgian-Congolese women have been initiated to date.<\/p>\n\n\n
