Suggested Reading History From the 7th to the 10th century, Arab and Persian trading posts were established along the coast of present-day Somalia. Nomadic tribes occupied the interior, occasionally pushing into Ethiopian territory. In the 16th century, Turkish rule extended to the northern coast and the Sultans of Zanzibar gained control in the south. After British occupation of Aden in 1839, the Somali coast became its source of food. The French established a coal mining station in 1862 at the site of Djibouti and the Italians planted a settlement in Eritrea. Egypt, which for a time claimed Turkish rights in the area, was succeeded by Britain. By 1920, a British protectorate and an Italian protectorate occupied what is now Somalia. The British ruled the entire area after 1941, with Italy returning in 1950 to serve as United Nations trustee for its former territory.

At this point it comprises a global research and monitoring effort and front-line fieldwork in conflict countries in all continents. The purpose is to appeal to NSAs - through dialogue, discussion and persuasion - for a renunciation of the use of antipersonnel landmines as a means of warfare and a contribution to demining, victim assistance and community reconstruction efforts. One of the first things the programme must do is conduct a full and credible mapping of NSAs in the world today, by region and country. The following Survey gives an indication of the size and complexity of the NSA problem. This document was compiled by the NSA Database of the Non State Actors Working Group of the ICBL. It reflects the situation in the world into the year 2000.

Extractions: Yet 'another' African 'dark chapter' is being recorded, and no one has dared raise a finger. How come an African home-grown solution was never expounded. If the US so much loved these Africans, how come the organisers never came up with an African solution? Africa is loosing a whole tribe/nation to the western world, courtesy of a new resettlement program that is going on at a Kenyan refugee camp. Already, the first batch of 300 of the 12,000 Somali Bantu have left the Kakuma refugee camp in northern Kenya for various cities in the US. And as yet 'another' African 'dark chapter' is being recorded, no one has dared raise a finger. Surprisingly (or as was expected) at the recent meeting of African heads of state in Maputo, Mozambique, the issue was nowhere in the African Union's agenda. Actually non explored the subject in their grandiose speeches on democracy, development, sovereignty, etc. According to UNHCR, the United Nations Agency charged with refugees, the tribe has suffered discrimination back home and at the refugee camps from their fellow countrymen over years because of their Negroid features. The lack of a protection system even caused problems for the Bantus housed with other Somali refugees in Kenya.
