Outside features images of various nomadic groups – the Mbororo, Hausa, Fulani and Musgum fishermen – who have set up temporary camps outside the villages. The images are from the Far North and North regions of Cameroon. The inhabitants of the tents and huts live in isolation outside the villages for various reasons. The Hausa have fled from Boko Haram, who burned down their villages. The images are from camps in the dry savannah near Moutouroua, Far North. The Fulani and Mbororo have partly fled as well, whilst others live with their cattle herds far from the villages in the savannah landscape. There are conflicts with the farmers. During the dry season, the Musgum fishermen live on islands in the Logone River, which forms the border between Cameroon and Chad. The islands consist mainly of marshland and huts can only be erected in a few places. During the rainy season, the islands are flooded. Climate change is affecting the entire region, leading to conflicts over scarce resources.
