<\/div>\n

En 1894, durante la Exposici\u00f3n Universal de Amberes, 144 congole\u00f1os fueron llevados a B\u00e9lgica para ser exhibidos ante el p\u00fablico en el llamado Pabell\u00f3n del Congo, en pleno coraz\u00f3n de la ciudad. Sometidos a condiciones extremas, siete de ellos murieron a causa de enfermedades. Aquel episodio, conocido como un \u201czool\u00f3gico humano\u201d, se convirti\u00f3 en uno de los cap\u00edtulos m\u00e1s oscuros de la historia colonial belga. Reportaje de Alix Le Bourdon para France 24. <\/p>\n

\n

M\u00e1s de un siglo despu\u00e9s, aquella memoria sigue presente en Amberes. El pasado mes de mayo, la ciudad dio un paso hacia el reconocimiento de las v\u00edctimas al inaugurar un monumento en su memoria, en un cementerio a las afueras de la ciudad, atendiendo as\u00ed a una demanda de la comunidad congole\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

El homenaje busca recuperar la memoria de quienes fueron deshumanizados<\/a> y expuestos como una atracci\u00f3n durante la \u00e9poca colonial, pero tambi\u00e9n obliga a Amberes a mirar de frente su pasado racista.<\/p>\n

Hoy, m\u00e1s de 130 a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s de aquella exposici\u00f3n, Amberes intenta saldar una deuda con las v\u00edctimas y afrontar los fantasmas de un pasado que todav\u00eda interpela a B\u00e9lgica.<\/p>\n
