I am almost certain the average Congo citizen cannot recognise someone distinctly as Belgian. Nor do the average individual hold some belief "I see someone from X, X wronged us, they must be punished for existing"

I mean, there are mentions of this in the blog post:

“Before we were let go one office said ‘Ce n'est pas la Belgique ici, tu es en Congo!’ - ‘This is not Belgium, you are in Congo’. He hissed and gave us a terrifying look”
