The fourth scramble for Africa – an opportunity for Africans to dictate the rules of the game
04 Apr 2024  |  dailymaverick.co.za  |  English  |  China-Africa Relations
The article discusses the plight of the indigenous Baka people in Cameroon, who have been displaced from their ancestral rainforest lands due to the establishment of rubber plantations by companies like GMG Global Ltd and its subsidiary Sud Cameroun-Hévéa S.A. The Singapore-based GMG Global was granted land concessions by the Cameroonian government, which led to deforestation and the eviction of the Baka. The company was later acquired by Halcyon Agri, which is controlled by Chinese state-owned enterprises including Sinochem International and China Hainan Rubber Industry Group. The article also touches on the historical context of rubber plantations in Cameroon, the environmental impact of deforestation, and the European Union's new law aimed at preventing the import of commodities linked to deforestation. The Baka community's struggle for reparations and the return to their traditional way of life is highlighted, as well as the complex web of corporate ownership and the involvement of the Cameroonian government and Chinese interests in the rubber industry.
