Summary "Correspondence and Report from His Majesty’s Consul at Boma Respecting the Administration of the Independent State of the Congo" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work comprises a collection of official correspondences addressing the administration of the Congo Free State during a period marked by scrutiny over colonial practices. The likely topic revolves around the assessment of the Belgian administration's impact on the local populace, particularly in terms of labor relations and governance. The opening of the text presents a detailed introduction to a report by His Majesty’s Consul at Boma, providing observations from the Congo region between January and February of 1903. The consul recounts his visits to various Belgian stations, contrasting them with British-controlled areas and noting differences in the presence and reception of native populations. He describes the general conditions of the Belgian stations, including their cleanliness and the wellbeing of soldiers stationed there, while highlighting the notable absence of native inhabitants in the region run by the Belgian administration. Through his reflections, the consul reveals the complexities surrounding the local people's trust in British versus Belgian rule, framing a narrative critical of the Belgian administration's practices, which are depicted as fostering fear and distrust among the native population.
