Like Pinochet he got to old to bring to court and face his accusers.

Also, this democide (DEATH BY GOVERNMENT) murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century.

we know of Mao/Stalin, but we don't know of the "european colonialists", including england, today's moral arbiters

Reevaluating Colonial Democide
.....
Where exploitation of a colony's natural resources or portering was carried out by forced labor (in effect slavery of a modern kind), as it was in all the European and Asian colonies, then the forced labor system built in its own death toll from beatings, punishment, coercion, terror, and forced deprivation. There were differences in the brutality of the system, the British being the least brutal and Leopold and the French, Germans, and Portuguese the worst. We all know what the Soviet gulag was like. These colonizers turned Africa into one giant gulag, with each colony being like a separate camp.
Now, I estimate that over all of colonized Africa and Asia 1900 to independence, the democide was my original 870,000, plus 50, 000,000 more, and this may be too conservative. If this figure were roughly close, however, then I must raise my total murdered by governments in the 20th Century again. I recently (here) raised the total from 174,000,000 to 212,000,000, with the addition of Mao' famine that cost 38,000,000 lives. With the new estimate of an additional 50,000,000 natives murdered during colonization, I need to add 50,000,000. This plus 212,000,000 = 262,000,000.
Incredible. Incredible. By my conservative estimate, governments in the last century murdered more than a quarter of a BILLION people. Enough bodies head to toe to circle the earth of ten times, or the equivalent of the estimated toll of a nuclear war between major powers.
We should all weep.
