Those on very low incomes can get state help in some cases but the amount varies and it doesnt necessarily increase with the size of the family as a result tens of thousands of families are forced to put their children to work Regional Development experts said fenech spent years studying the problem he says many families simply have no choice he warns missing chaco by that he could be fined for not sending his children to school or apologise or apologise all such from the if we dont work how can i provide for the children and send them to school at all how can i buy food for them where would we get bread with the. Muscle that i will make my get that our Little Bennett asks if you knows about the penalty for child labor. Yes i know about it but we have no choice what else can we do.

Even once they get home the childrens work is still not done. There is father appears to have told her off for talking to her so openly in the field perhaps he is worried because he was warned he might have to pay a fine. Now she tells us she does go to school but she still has it is in her eyes. And children dont spend their childhood and adolescence in school where they belong but out in the fields working temperatures can rise to 50 degree celsius or doctors have diagnosed child workers with sunburn and sicknesses contracted from insects out in the field. Or psychological problems because of the heavy workload. That its not just this generation the parents and grandparents of these children experienced the same thing. We contacted turkeys governing party to ask what is being done to tackle the problem of child labor but we got no answer and the for years president. Has touted turkeys economic upturn citing wage increases and the building of new roads and turkey is indeed one of the g 20 states but its yet to stamp out child labor. These images also show forced labor under inhumane conditions they date back more than a century to colonial africa and era in which Land Resources and artworks were plundered from much of the continent. Ministre toures and ethnologists brought huge numbers of african Cultural Treasures to europe. Londons British Museum has 200000 art works from africa and its collection. Museum for Central Africa near brussels has 180000 works. And berlins new Humboldt Forum will feature 75000. 00 african art objects but what should be done with the new. Artifacts. Europes Ethnological Museum collections are full of objects that were plundered from africa simply taken or gained through underhand means other items were bought or bartered by european explorers some 80 percent of africas historical art is thought to be in europe including some of the most Iconic Museum pieces. Should it be given back. Yes a lot of it works taken without consent thats the conclusion of a groundbreaking study of europes colonial era acquisitions the proposals put forward by french art historian benedicts of wa and the senegalese scholar phil when sour could have far reaching consequences for. Their report was commissioned by french president Emmanuel Mccomb hes pledged to begin repatriating stolen artworks to africa within 5 years. We really hope that mccalls announcement on our report wont just be empty words but will have real consequences. It doesnt only apply to france but to many european countries. They are also invited to look at their colonial past and above all about their present relations with africa which are still shaped by colonialism in my eyes this is absolutely fundamental that. France is leading the way but what about the other former colonial powers. Belgium too has a problematic legacy. The famous royal museum for Central Africa just outside brussels recently reopened after undergoing an extensive make over. It was long overdue. The museum features a magnificent collection of artifacts and it was long criticized for being an exhibition of colonial propaganda now it refer. The african point of view and highlights the atrocities of belgiums colonial past the museums director general is not ruling out returning artifacts to africa. Obviously i agree with prism micro when he says that its all normal though they did percent of the African Cultural Heritage is in europe so we have to open the debate i mean clearly the moral owner of these objects are the african countries themselves and its their histories their culture its their identity so we need to assure existed but lets take things step by step and look to fall into the trap of. Saying all of the 145000 objects for all to really should return to congo i dont think anybodys asking for it oh god does not have a National Museum so far but were not it will have one probably dont win opens the end of next year the moment its a different situation so we can discuss. Critics say its all just delaying tactics they want to get things moving now they argue that for too long its been the former colonial powers who have dictated what happens acting as though they were superior rather than taking responsibility for the sins of the past. The report could also have repercussions for germany berlins Bowden Museum is currently showing highlights of the german capital collection of african art. Soon the works are set to move to the newly rebuilt berlin city palace or Humboldt Forum. But here too there is growing public debate over the exhibits the head of the foundation that runs berlins museums believes more research is needed to ascertain which objects were obtained illegally. When it was its you know do we just want to wash our hands of it or do we want to develop a new kind of cooperation social chains he has called for new International Guidelines for the restitution of artifacts. One thing seems clear action is needed the question is whether frances initiative will prompt europe to now begin to redress some of the injustices of the past. Has become a Global Industry many of us eat it every day but not many people know where chocolate comes from and under what conditions the cocoa used to make it is grown. Our reporter gary was in ghana the worlds 2nd biggest exporter of cocoa for our global ideas series she and her team traveled to be a district where Cocoa Farmers have to grapple with a number of problems. Its with a heavy heart that orlando also motto is setting to work. Hes cutting down cocoa trees in one part of his plantation. Pods that never arrived in properly because of the virus. This is no good for harvesting we cant process it its spoiled. Swollen shoot virus is the name of the disease thats affecting his trees but its not his only problem. All of this is part of my farm i planted plant chain cocoa another crops here just like elsewhere on the farm the timber contractors and cleared everything and they didnt even compensate me. Many Timber Companies in ghana are involved in illegal deforestation just brittle neemo from the n. G. O. S and he is working with the farmers to at least ensure they dont further exacerbate the problem. We have telling farm is to rehabilitate the farm doing things. About so that we can really benefit from the water bottle for law and not to move into the about that aspect of it is what we are seeing about big Timber Companies also trying to degrade the forest and doing its cotton of rocks without really replacing them his dutch ngo has rented farm land on the edge of the forest for the past 2 years theyve run a tree nursery here. Or london last man who was among those who were given seedlings from the nursery. Left by here. The ngo has given him tips on how to boost the growth of his trees damp sections of banana trunks for example can help to strengthen the roots. Hes also learned how to treat the stumps of the disease trees that hes chopped down. I used herbicide to kill off the stump so that it cant regenerate otherwise it can infect the new trees that i planted you have to use herbicide to kill the entire system i didnt realize that before i say. But its not been easy for the ngo the 1st many farmers were skeptical about the experts from the city but that changed as the ngo won some powerful allies. Is a respected and successful cocoa farmer a few years ago he gave his plantation an overhaul chopping down the older trees and planting new ones. Even though hes an expert when it comes to cocoa farming hes not that fond of chocolate hed rather have a plate of rice to eat. There are preferred food was when i knew it did. Yes. Well for your good. Through our worst food in the capital accra this company is trying to change that view to hoping to inspire gun ends with exotic creations like hibiscus chocolate. If none of that very helpful read to them and thats how we end up developing a lot of our labor day if i did that and then we have the. People who pay for our i pad. But the handmade chocolate produced here is more of a luxury product but will sell mainly in the capital or go straight to export to sr set up the company about 2 years ago since then they faced many challenges ranging from constant Power Outages to corrupt officials who made life difficult for the small company. But theyre determined to keep on with their luxury chocolate and not just leave the field to the big multinational food companies. It takes a lot of endurance to definitely run a chocolate business here and. Just represent using our resources at home to actually produce the finished care back to western ghana and orlando as mana with his family this year one kilo of dried cocoa beans will earn him the equivalent of one year of but only if the quality is right. As in the case of this pod. We know yes. So many of the parts in my harvest have been spoiled. The good ones like this are few and far between. If you look at parts like this one you think you have a large but actually you havent. Orlandos man who is in a difficult position his new trees arent yet bearing fruit and the more established ones arrived the diseased will no longer producing good cocoa pods in sufficient quantity but his farm is at least on the road to recovery. Once harvested the beans are left to ferment for a week under banana leaves at the plantation then they spend another week laid out on stands in the village to dry in the sun. The farmers pack the beans in 64. 00 kilo sacks and sell them to companies licensed by the state everything is regulated centrally including the amount of money they get for each sack. For this year there was no price because their market price was falling. Fortunately the government. Producer price of so that money has been kept at it seem real. But the challenge for farmers is to keep up their supply Company Workers check the moisture content of the sacks and grade them according to the size and weight of the beans. All the sacks stored here are destined for export which commands much higher prices. Back in orlando as Miners Village theres bad news the ngos project which has helped the farmer so much is due to end the farmers have come together for a meeting at the local church. Where. They all want the Development Project to continue. Your concerns very seriously i understand that you want the project to be extended for one or 2 years i will forward this information to our governors i hope that something can be done but unfortunately i cant promise you anything right now. At least the ngo is promising to continue advising the farmers.
