The Belgians and French have completely taken us over and started several plantations
Yes but they had many more people than us and they had weapons we have never seen before
They treated us very inhumanly and made us their slaves. Anyone who didn't listened was
tortured, *** and they would chop our hands off
They grew cotton, oil palms, cacao, rubber and coffee
We had to sign four to seven year labor contracts
We worked on roads, railroads, electric stations and public buildings
We had very little freedom and we lived under strict rule
