Studie "The Plunder Route to Panama. How African Oligarchs Steal from their Countries" (Oktober 2017)

Die Studie afrikanischer Investigativjournalisten, veröffentlicht im Oktober 2017, beleuchtet sieben afrikanische Länder, darunter die DR Kongo, Ruanda und Burundi. Als Recherchegrundlage dienten die Panama Papers.

Ziel der Studie ist, auf die Rolle politischer Eliten aufmerksam zu machen, die bisweilen unterbelichtet schien: “What if, instead of aiming arrows at colonialism generally, they were aimed specifically at Gemfields, Getax-Kalyan-Coromandel, Dan Gertler and Interpetrole? What if development aid to Joseph Kabila’s and Pierre Nkurunziza’s government was stopped and instead given to (truly) independent media, the strengthening of the judiciary and social justice groups? Much would already be won if the dominant narrative that lumps together all Africans as ‘victims’ was turned around to distinguish between forces for social justice on that continent and the kleptocrats.”
