CLEAN : European timber firms help fund C Africa conflict: watchdog

The video discusses the role of logging companies in the Central African Republic (CAR) conflict since 2013. These companies have been paying rebel groups, fueling the conflict, while European governments have not intervened. Logging companies operate with impunity, illegally logging rainforests and paying armed groups. European companies are also complicit, failing to ensure their timber is not contributing to the conflict. They knowingly pay armed groups, perpetuating violence and are therefore complicit in these crimes.
