Dear friends, colleagues, and partners,
Today, I am honored and delighted to welcome you on behalf of KEM NET Sarl, as well as in my capacity as the official representative of the German association „Occident Meets Orient – Multicultural and Ecological Vision for Eurasia and Africa e.V.“ in Cameroon and the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our cooperation is not merely a partnership between two organizations. It is a step forward on the path to restoring historical justice, eradicating the remnants of colonialism, and creating a sustainable future for our peoples.
Cameroon, which gained its independence on January 1, 1960, has entered a new phase of its development, seeking to free itself from the chains of colonialism and to build a just and prosperous society. However, the consequences of this colonial past are still felt: poverty, limited access to education, and social injustice remain pressing issues.
With „Occident Meets Orient“, we aspire to change this reality. Our joint projects aim to combat poverty, expand access to education, and develop technologies that will help our communities thrive.
Moreover, our cooperation contributes to the expansion of Cameroon’s international ties. We seek to strengthen relations between Africa and Europe, exchange knowledge and experiences, and create platforms for mutual development.
Historically, Cameroon and Germany are linked by a long history. From 1884 to 1916, Cameroon was a German colony, and although this period left a complex legacy, today we see opportunities for constructive cooperation and mutual respect. Joint efforts, such as research into the origins of African objects in German museums, testify to the willingness of both parties to open up and restore historical justice. (The Guardian)
Our partnership is not only an opportunity for Cameroon but also for all of Africa. We are building bridges between continents, uniting our efforts to create a better future.
I am proud to be part of this important process and invite each of you to join us on this journey. Together, we can overcome the challenges our societies face and build a world based on justice, equality, and sustainable development.
I thank you for your attention and support.
Sincerely,
Alexandre Kem
Director of KEM NET Sarl
Representative of „Occident Meets Orient“ in Cameroon and the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa
