Exploiting Cameroon's Milk and Timber - Colonialism and EU Subsidies
Channel: Draufsicht
Date: 2018-01-05

In Cameroon most of the milk being sold is imported. At the same time forests are cut down to export timber. The exploitation of natural resources has a devastating effect on rural communities and the environment. In this video the team of Draufsicht Bamenda explores how these issues are connected to colonialism and EU subsidies.

Inequality can only be reduced if the commodities of the Global South are not further exploited by Europe. That's why we picked out examples of resource exploitation in Berlin and Bamenda. This video was produced by Draufsicht Bamenda.

In 2015, the United Nations adopted a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, to be achieved by 2030. The so-called SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) should be a goal for all countries, not only those of the global South. Whether in Germany or Cameroon: The implementation of the SDG should enable all people to live in harmony with nature, in peace and prosperity. Nobody should be left behind.

Sounds good, right?

But how realistic is such a world? And who cares about the SDG? Although the agenda was adopted by the heads of state and government of the world, the goals are not binding under international law.

SDG 10 - Reduce inequality in and between countries

Whether on a global scale, in comparison between Bavaria and Meck-Pomm or simply on a walk through Neukölln. Inequality is everywhere. People have very different starting conditions when they embark on a journey through their lives.

SDG 10 therefore focuses on the reduction of inequality. Together with Draufsicht Bamenda and with the support of "weltwärts Begegnungen", we want to take a closer look at this goal and, above all, look at what contributes to inequality in our societies and how a world could look like in which opportunities are distributed more fairly.
