The symposium help discussion on our little-known history. The term "Njock massi" (working for nothing) still used in Cameroon comes from the forced labor organized by German colonial to drill a rock of Njock and make the road that goes from Lolodorf to Douala. New, the archives are also in Ethiopia

My thoughts go to the Germans who are at a historic turning point with these dangerous elections. We all fear the rise of structural violence. The symposium on Cameroon’s colonial cultural assets in Germany showed the consequences of violence and the importance of appropriating one’s history.

Please, vote! While on transit, my thoughts go to Germany and today’s elections. I have already voted. And I so very much hope that many people will vote pro democracy and anti hate.

Wenn 1,3 Millionen auf die Straßen gehen gegen Rechts, heißt es, das sei doch keine Mehrheit. Wenn 20.000 Rechtsextreme demonstrieren, muss man ihre Sorgen ernst nehmen und die Politik und Debatten komplett nach ihnen ausrichten. Der Rechtsruck wird von oben gemacht.

Abolir l’esclavage sur le papier, c’est facile. Briser les chaînes dans la réalité, c’est un autre combat. Le décret du 4 février 1794 en France n’était en réalité qu’un début. ➡️ l.franceculture.fr/Kpa

On Jan 30, at the symposium commemorating the 140th anniversary of the Berlin Conference of 1884/85, Minister Katja Keul reiterated that Germany must not forget the massacres and crimes committed as a result of colonization. Studies show that the observed amnesia is due to ignorance and denial.

The debate on the responsibility of African states for development has come into play. The shadow of NEPAD has floated with a questionable assumption of the good faith and capacities of the current leaders. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf insists on the ownership of development mechanisms.

The migration panel made it clear that policies are influenced by colonization. Visa rules and procedures between colonial countries and European countries are racist. However, German industries are short of more than 500,000 employees per year.

Julie Lekeufack recalled the methods used to collect cultural property and human remains. A very clearly dehumanizing process, these artifacts are no longer objects, but subjects, which is important if we are talking about restitution, a multidimensional theme.
