Hands cut off by other african people?

This article does not specify the ethnicity of the people who actually cut of the hands of African workers. Why? 50.103.237.13 (talk) 14:29, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does that matter, who gave the orders is what matters. Slatersteven (talk) 14:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, i removed a line claiming a 20% population decline, because the reference is a brochure that does not seem to exist anymore, the link is dead. 82.163.44.156 (talk) 17:04, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The linked text is still accessible via archive.org; that the original website might be down is no reason for removal. Gawaon (talk) 18:11, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
