Huile de Palme au Cameroun: le Double jeu d’Herakles Farms<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n

Le pr\u00e9sent rapport d\u00e9nonce les contradictions flagrantes entre, d\u2019une part, la fa\u00e7on dont l\u2019entreprise pr\u00e9sente son projet au grand public et, d\u2019autre part, le discours qu\u2019elle tient aux investisseurs et cr\u00e9anciers potentiels. Il r\u00e9v\u00e8le \u00e9galement des communications internes qui contredisent les perspectives optimistes pour le projet d\u2019huile de palme pr\u00e9sent\u00e9es par l\u2019entreprise aux investisseurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Land Deal Brief: Massive Deforestation Portrayed as Sustainable Investment: The Deceit of Herakles Farms in Cameroon<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n

From its very name, American-owned SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon, Ltd. (SGSOC) presents a pro-environment, pro-resources image. This is supported by an impressive-sounding partnership with an NGO by the name of All for Africa and as a package typifies the kind of convoluted modern-day foreign investment going on in Africa. It is sadly all too familiar to communities on the ground. They are unimpressed with promises of infrastructure and jobs, and angry about their loss of land and livelihoods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Comprendre les Investissements Fonciers en Afrique: Herakles Farms au Cameroon: Une Deforestation Massive Travestie en Projets de Developpement Durable<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Par son nom m\u00eame, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon, Ltd (SGSOC) revendique son attachement \u00e0 la pr\u00e9servation de l\u2019environnement et \u00e0 une exploitation durable des ressources naturelles. Elle met aussi en avant un partenariat avec All for Africa, une ONG pr\u00e9tendument de \u2018d\u00e9veloppement\u2019, \u00e0 travers un montage embl\u00e9matique des circonvolutions qu’empruntent d\u00e9sormais les investissements fonciers en Afrique… Les communaut\u00e9s locales ne sont malheureusement que trop famili\u00e8res de telles pratiques et ne se laissent plus leurrer par des promesses non-tenues de cr\u00e9ation d\u2019emplois et d\u2019infrastructures. Elles sont en col\u00e8re face \u00e0 la perte de leurs terres et de leurs moyens de subsistance. Elles s\u2019opposent \u00e0 une strat\u00e9gie d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9e qui voudrait faire croire que d\u00e9truire des for\u00eats tropicales pour les transformer en plantations industrielles est n\u00e9cessaire au d\u00e9veloppement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
