in belgium today. we've had a number of statues of king leopold removed from belgian cities. there's a big debate now about renaming students that were named after let's say, pretty much horrible people that responsible for all kinds of atrocities. so there's this debate, but then there's also quite a large segment of the belgian population that feels misrepresented because this law be, will say that well, in 1960 independence, the belgian congo had the same standard of living as canada in south africa. in terms of hospital beds and chosen primary education in terms of so this, the debate in belgium itself is very stratified, that form of belgian lobby of colonial administration is still practical. and they're probably moving to, i just want to pick up on something that you said theodore, and pass that over to feel clock belgian as a victim from from cold war politics. i mean, i haven't heard that before. is that something that is kind of discussed in an academic circle when exploring the post colonial
