Extractions: Study Notes West Africa Course Anthro 1150 Dr. Mendonsa Fall, 2000 University of Colorado, Boulder Study Notes 1 By Eugene L. Mendonsa When reading these notes on West Africa, the student should look for processes, causes and trends that occurred in the history of West Africa that link the past with the present, and which may portend the future in that beleaguered region of the world. Prehistory Archaeologists tell us that life in West Africa has been conditioned by interregional, subcontinental and intercontinental connections for more than a thousand years. However, two factors make the prehistory of West Africa vague in the minds of those with an interest in the subject. The first is the lack of archaeological work in the area; and the second, somewhat linked to the first, is the lack of material remains to be found due to the harsh tropical climate, and the perishability of the materials used by early inhabitants of the region. Nevertheless, based on linguistic studies, and what archaeological work that has been done, we know that a Bantu migration from an area near the Nigeria-Cameroon border likely occurred before 5000 B.C. These peoples eventually mingled with others who moved ahead of the desiccating Sahara between 5000 -2000 B.C. Some groups stayed in the rain forest, while others inhabited the Sudanic zone, or the Savannah to the north of the heavily forested belt near the equator. These Savannah-dwellers are of special interest because their descendants eventually formed the great Sudanic states of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Later the forest-dwellers created the great states of Asante, Dahomey, Benin, Oyo and the Yoruba kingdoms, as well as a number of smaller statelets.

Living Fences For Agroforestry In Africa Advantages fuelwood - fodder - sustenance for people (such as fruit (Author unknown) Read kabre s story Jatropha Using the indigenous knowledge of Jatropha. http://peacecorps.mtu.edu/living.htm
Extractions: Types: Though there are two main types of living fences, major distinctions between them will not be made in this article. For reference, live fence posts are widely spaced woody plants in single rows that are pruned regularly and used instead of posts. Barrier hedges are spaced closer together, are thicker, involve multiple species, and usually do not include any other types of fencing material. (Cherry and Fernandes) Typical Living Fence: Usually surrounding barbed wire, these trees and shrubs grew in their location from seeds dropped by birds that had perched on the fence. Also common are farmers deliberately planting seeds of species that easily take root. Traditional living fences can be more durable than wooden posts, as they are less susceptible to termites and fungus. It is important that the species that make up the fence have the ability to form a callus rapidly to cover the attachment site of the wire; trees that produce sap should be avoided, as this can be corrosive to metal. An alternative to barbed wire for those who cannot afford it is to use several different species to create a thorny hedge. (Cherry and Fernandes)

Extractions: Recurrent ethnic violence is common to many countries. For social scientists, recurrence raises important issues. Why are some, locales "riot prone" and others not. What triggers riots in places with this tendency. For Varshney, the presence of intra-ethnic organizations and the absence of inter-ethnic institutions increase the likelihood of riot outbreaks. For Wilkinson, political factors, particularly the structure of electoral incentives are a key factor. Horowitz takes a catholic view, holding that once violence becomes endemic, almost any trigger can set it off. Drawing on multiple sources of data, Part I of the paper provides a deeper analysis of the historical context within which the present day conflicts between the Konkombas and Dagombas occur. In particular, it examines how wavering state policies on chieftaincy and land ownership rights have fostered and sustained trends in inter- ethnic exclusion from the colonial period to date; illustrating how these factors have become the building blocks of the interethnic violence between the Konkombas and Dagombas in particular, and other ethnic groups in northern Ghana as a whole.

We have several barriers to meeting this challenge. But God is providing a way to meet them. Language - With over 6,500 languages the task seems impossible. Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size. Spoken Language - There is a problem with dialects, pronounciation and the availability of qualified people to teach the gospel. Also, a single written word can have several meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce the word.

Despite the facade of multiparty elections that resulted in EYADEMA's victory in 1993, the government continues to be dominated by the military. In addition, Togo has come under fire from international organizations for human rights abuses and is plagued by political unrest. Most bilateral and multilateral aid to Togo remains frozen.
