Savorgnan Di Brazza
the mineral wealth, the rubber and ivory and the
territories of Africa at the end of the 19th Century;
... Italy didn't come out terribly well.
Savorgnan Di Brazza catered to the needs of the Africans...As a distinguished businessman, Di Brazza not only expressed a deep sympathetic, and undivided interest in their liberation and freedoms...He also took on the characteristics of the African people.
of freedom and justice for Africans aroused criticism

After all...Self-interest was the popular mode of the turn of the 19th Century; And dreams of freeing those without privilege, was taboo...
Interesting though...More than a century later the descendants of King Makoko and the descendants of Pietro Di Brazza have also become friends... :)
