Download Taken from their families: a colonial legacy
During Belgian colonial rule in what is today Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, about 20,000 mixed race children were removed from their families. Prudent Nsengiyumva of BBC Great Lakes went to Belgium to meet Luc Van Damme and Josline Droogmans, both separated from their mothers as children.
