Extractions: Streicher's diocese covered the whole southern and western portion of modern Uganda. The evangelization of the western Nyoro and Toro kingdoms had already been started by his predecessor. In 1901 he commenced work in Ankole, and twenty years later in Kigezi. When he took over the diocese, there were 30,000 baptized Christians. When he retired in 1933, there were 303,000. There were, moreover, 46 African priests and 280 African religious sisters. Intelligent, energetic, authoritarian and independent, Streicher was a superb organizer. His diocesan synods were meticulously prepared. All the resolutions were drawn up by him beforehand ! Synodal participants were simply required to vote "yes" before being allowed to seek explanations from the bishop afterwards. Since the Ganda royal family was now in the hands of the Anglican mission, Streicher became in many ways a "royal" focus for Ganda Catholics, a veritable prince-bishop. The Catholic chiefs had moved to Buddu where they did the bishop's bidding. Evangelization was conducted through the influence of these chiefs, with the help of Ganda catechists. Just as chiefs in the past had sent their sons to the royal court to be the king's pages, they now sent them to the seminary to be "pages" of Streicher. In the minds of Ganda Catholics, the church possessed a structure that resembled their own kingdom. In the photographs, we see Streicher, with his French imperial beard, a lean, regal figure, enthroned upon the royal leopard skin, or wearing a black and gold princely robe over his soutane.

That same mission He later confided to His Apostles telling them: As the Father hath sent me, I also send you (Jn. 20:21). Finally, His last command to them before His ascension was that they should go and teach all nations, in the confidence that He would be with them always, guiding, instructing and comforting them, till the world itself should cease to be (Matt. 27:19).

Extractions: Indigenous Legal Systems ....Indeed, Africa is one of the homes of advanced legal institutions. Perhaps the most famous of these institutions are the courts still found among the Bantu states of the southern third of the continent. ? Bohannan, 1968:199. Native Courts And Customary Laws Disputes arise in any family or society with regards to property, and African societies were no exception. To resolve these disputes, various mechanisms and institutions were created. However within the traditional African modus operandi, there was an additional unique dimension. Individual attachment to lineages and latent groups of solidarity always carried the potential risk of transforming personal disputes into broader group conflicts as was often the case among the Nuer and the Ganda and even in modern times. Here are two examples: On Jan 31, 1994, at the village of Nakpayili in Northern Ghana, a disagreement erupted between Konkonba and a Nanumba over the price of a guinea-fowl. In the ensuing heated exchange, the Konkomba man killed the Nanumba and his son. Other Konkombas joined in and an immediate massive Konkomba offensive was launched against the other ethnic groups and soon the Konkombas were fighting against the Nanumbas, Dagombas, Gonjas, Mamponsis and Chokosis. But the time the fighting subsided, over 1,200 people were dead, nearly 5,000 injured and over 10,000 displaced. Scores of villages were razed to the ground, including Lanja, Nakpakye, Lepusi, Pulnyasi, Nakayilli, Kpabe, Welensi and Chauba Bakpabe (Ghana Drum, March 1994; p.10).

Extractions: Buganda is located in the south-central region of the country known today as Uganda, as shown in the map below. This is right in the heart of Africa, astride the equator, and at the source of the great river Nile . The people of Buganda are referred to as Baganda (the singular form is Muganda ), their language is referred to as Luganda , and they refer to their customs as Kiganda customs. Sometimes the generic term Ganda is used for all the above (especially by foreign scholars). Buganda is home to the nation's political and commercial capital, Kampala; as well as the country's main international airport, Entebbe. Follow this link for more information about contemporary Uganda . If you want to see where Uganda is located within Africa, click here 'Uganda' (Swahili for 'Land of the Ganda') was the name used by the Arab and Swahili traders on the East African coast to refer to the kingdom of Buganda, deep in the interior of Africa. These traders first arrived in Buganda in the mid-nineteenth century in search of slaves, ivory, as well as other merchandise. When the European colonialists eventually extended their hegemony over Buganda and the surrounding territories at the end of the nineteenth century, they used the swahili term Uganda to refer to the new colony. Today, Uganda is made up of almost 40 different ethnic groups with the Baganda being the largest group at a little under 20% of the total population.

Extractions: (c) Robert Borofsky (Webmaster, 2004) Codere, Helen. Power in Rwanda . Anthropologica 1962. IV(1): 45-86. Codere argues for an interpretation of power in relation to Rwanda's social and political organization. The article begins with a brief history of the separate origins and existence of Rwanda's three ethnic groups; the Hutu, Tutsi and Twa. Although the Hutu composed the majority of the population in Rwanda, the Tutsi minority were established as the ruling group. The three groups were differentiated in terms of ethnic categories, which helped establish a system of discrimination against the Hutu as a whole. After a brief history of Rwanda, the article argues against the classical interpretation of social and political structure by anthropology. According to the author, the classical interpretation states that Rwanda is a functioning whole that continues in time through its reinforcing institutions and vast web of reciprocities, which benefit and obligate every one of its members. However, in Rwanda's case, society is not seen as a network of reciprocities. Power is centred in one small minority group, which demonstrates that it is not beneficial to all members of society. Next, power in Rwanda is defined as the ability of one individual to inflict harm or deprivation on another. Power relations are seen as the basis of Rwanda's social and political structure and the monopoly of power by the Tutsi minority is presented as the main feature of Rwanda's society. The major form of power relationship is the Vassalage, called Ubuhake in Rwanda. This relationship strongly encouraged the exploitation of the Hutu by the Tutsi. The power relationships in Rwanda show the monopoly of power by the Tutsi, as well as the inequity in power between the Tutsi and Hutu. The revolution in Rwanda that began in 1959 has resulted in shifts for both the Hutu and Tutsi in social relations and access to economic benefits and power.
