Extractions: Afroasiatic Languages Also known as Hamito-Semitic languages, Afroasiatic languages are spoken by 175 million persons representing a wide range of cultures through most of the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and large portions of West Africa. The languages include Arabic and Hebrew. Afroasiatic is commonly divided into five main branches based on ancient roots: Egyptian, Semitic, Cushitic, Berber, and Chad. Omotic, formerly called West Cushitic, has recently been suggested as constituting a sixth branch. These languages differ in their particulars, and the exact relationship among the branches has not yet been established. Scholars postulate, however, that all are derived from an unknown ancestor language that was probably spoken in northeast Africa or the Sahara about the 6th millennium BC. Egyptian. Egyptian is the oldest attested language of the family and has the longest known continuous history. As a written language it proceeded in five distinct stages. The first threeOld Egyptian (c.3000 to c.2200 BC), Middle Egyptian (c.2200 to c.1200 BC), and Late or Neo-Egyptian (c.1300 to c.700 BC)were all written in Hieroglyphics. Demotic (c.700 BC to AD c.300) was written in a simplified cursive script based on hieroglyphics and spoken by early Christians. Coptic (from AD 300), written in an alphabet based on Greek and comprising many dialects, was still widely spoken in the 16th century and in some places possibly as late as the 19th century. One Coptic dialect, Bohairic, is now the liturgical language of the Christian Monophysite Coptic Church.

Extractions: Sudan is a country which has historically suffered from the most devastating of tropical infections. The geography, the various environmental stresses such as drought, weather extremes, together with the poor health infrastructure that has resulted from many years of civil disturbance and economic hardships, have led to the occurrence and persistence of some of the most devastating epidemic of disease known to Africa. Nevertheless, over the past ten years concerted efforts to implement control programs for at least three major tropical infections - river blindness, trachoma and lymphatic filariasis, have had a major positive effect on redeveloping health services for the most severely affected group of Sudanese, those in the rural areas. This paper will review these programs, the effect they have in rebuilding health infrastructure in depressed and ignored areas of Sudan, including those areas under war conditions. The role of cross border migration as well as intra-country migration due to the civil disturbances will be documented and discussed. Health is a most important component to a community's survival and is thus a central factor in rebuilding and developing those areas of Sudan that are in great need. A plan for the involvement of health programs in the near future as Sudan redevelops will be presented and its relationship to similar program in bordering countries discussed. The need to integrate health programs with other components of development, such as external aid programs, NGDOs, agriculture, community development and the like.

Extractions: IN NORTHEASTAFRICA Contacts during the life of Muhammad Africa touches Arabia in the north at the Sinai peninsula over which a land route passed before the construction of the Suez canal.It also comes within 24 kilometers of the Arabian peninsula at Bâb al-Mandab, at the entrance of the Red Sea, and various ports on the Red Sea facilitate passage from one side to the other. In view of the closeness of East Africa to Arabia, the people of the two regions shared a lot in common. Migration of peoples of both regions was common; Ethiopic is a Semitic language allied with the Southern Arabian Sabaean or Himyarite tongue.Besides linguistic and cultural links, trade was important. Egypt imported large quantities of incense and spices from Arabia, and long before the time of Christ operated copper and turquoise mines in Sinai. From the second or third century A.D. Ethiopia laid claim to parts of southern Arabia, and occupied part of Yemen from 340 to 378. Judaism was spreading into the area and the Yemen king As c ad Kâmil (c. 385-420) embraced the Jewish faith. Christianity also entered these territories, and around 500 the region of Najrân adopted this faith as a result of the preaching of Faymiyûn, a Syrian monophysite.

Military dictatorships favoring an Islamic-oriented government have dominated national politics since independence from the UK in 1956. Sudan has been embroiled in a civil war for all but 10 years of this period (1972-82). Since 1983, the war and war- and famine-related effects have led to more than 2 million deaths and over 4 million people displaced. The war pits the Arab/Muslim majority in Khartoum against the non-Muslim African rebels in the south. Since 1989, traditional northern Muslim parties have made common cause with the southern rebels and entered the war as a part of an anti-government alliance.

Extractions: The Berber Project Our ancestors the Berbers are part of the great Afro-Asiatic family of peoples, who are divided among some 240 language groups, spread across the northern third of Africa, from Morocco and Mauritania on the Atlantic seaboard to Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia on the east coast. In addition, languages of the Semitic branch (including Hebrew and Arabic) are spoken in many countries of the Middle East. There are approximately 175 million speakers of Afro-Asiatic languages, and of those, some 12,000,000 speak an estimated two or three hundred Berber dialects, in about a dozen North African countries: Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad (Map 1). The Guanches, Berber natives of the Canary Islands, have lost their language and identity after centuries of Spanish oppression. The Berber peoples themselves have been described as "Irish-looking" (Hart, 45). Oddly for a Mediterranean people, they often exhibit light skin, blue, green, grey or hazel eyes, freckles, and blond hair (Hart, 342f). Genetically they are Caucasoid (Cavalli-Sforza, 165). Gabriel Camps, perhaps the world's leading expert on North African prehistory, states that efforts to claim Black ancestry for the Berbers are "souvent exagérés" (Camps 1974, 158ff). Nevertheless, "proving" that Berbers were Black has for some reason become a major preoccupation of the so-called "Afrocentric" pseudo-historians (Lefkowitz, 30ff), much of whose 'research' borders on functional illiteracy. Example: "The Berbers are a mixed race of Arabs [sic!] who live in North Africa. They originally came from Northern Asia [sic!], India [sic!] and the Caucasus [sic!]..." (Van Sertima, 251). Northern Asia? Maybe they made it to America over the Bering Straits.

Extractions: AFRICA , the name of a continent representing the largest of the three great southward projections from the main mass of the earth's surface. It includes within its remarkably regular outline an area, according to the most recent computations, of 11,262,000 sq. m., excluding the islands.1 Separated from Europe by the Mediterranean Sea, it is joined to Asia at its N.E. extremity by the Isthmus of Suez, 80 m. wide. From the most northerly point, Ras ben Sakka, a little west of Cape Blanc, in 37 21' N., to the most southerly point, Cape Agulhas, 34 51' 15" S., is a distance approximately of 5000 m.; from Cape Verde, 17 33' 22" W., the westernmost point, to Ras Hafun, 51 27' 52" E., the most easterly projection, is a distance (also approximately) of 4600 m. The length of coast-line is 16,100 m. and the absence of deep indentations of the shore is shown by the fact that Europe, which covers only 3,760,000 sq. m., has a coast-line of 19,800 m. I. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY The main structural lines of the continent show both the east-to-west direction characteristic, at least in the eastern hemisphere, of the more northern parts of the world, and the north-to-south direction seen in the southern peninsulas. Africa is thus composed of two segments at right angles, the northern running from east to west, the southern from north to south, the subordinate lines corresponding in the main to these two directions.
