Extractions: Reunification discourse has generated controversy in Cameroon since the 1990s and hinges on the issue of the degree of commitment of Anglophone and Francophone Cameroonians to its realization. This essay provides a chronological, comprehensive, and critical survey of the reunification question. Often only part of the history is presented, either inadvertently or deliberately. It is argued in this essay that reunification was a minority ideology conned largely to the Cameroon people of the Southwestern quadrant. That notwithstanding, its chief proponents were Francophones who conceived it, propagated it, and sustained it until the United Nations recognized it in the 1960s. The 1961 reunification of the British Southern Cameroons and the former French Cameroons was an extraordinary event, as peoples of different colonial backgrounds decided to form a single state. It presented a countercurrent in postcolonial Africa to the prevailing trend of the balkanization of old political unions or blocs.

Romans soos David Malan (1894) deur Van Oordt, De Voortrekkers, of Het Dagboek van Izak van der Merwe (1898) deur Kestell en Hofmeyr, en Fanie (1925) deur Hofmeyr het ook hiertoe bygedra. Soos die voorgenoemde werke, het hierdie boek 'n duidelike nationalistiese trant. In 'n kort voorwoord erken Erasmus die invloed van sy tydgenoot, Gustav Preller, bekende Afrikaner nationalis. Preller se boeke het 'n groot rol in die skepping van die heldhaftige beeld van die Voortrekkers gespeel. Dieselfde tema is deur Twee Voortrekkertjies On the eve of the Great Trek centenary in 1938, novelists in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America capitalised on the crescendo of publicity which that historic event was receiving. One of the ways in which they did this was to write fictional reconstructions, chie?y in English though occasionally in Afrikaans, of the Boer migration. Their literary achievements were not universally appreciated at the time, not least because some of the works in question challenged the prevailing heroic image of the Voortrekkers then current in Afrikaans circles. Subsequent generations of literary critics have generally overlooked these endeavours in historical fiction. To date, surprisingly little has been published about such novels as Eugenie de Kalb's

"As you would expect the MayDay message about why people were there got kind of lost.

An anonymous demonstrator Mondays MayDay demonstration in London nearly brought about the collapse of the British way of life. Apparently. SchNEWS was there and has a slightly different story to tell. In the morning landscape gardeners arrived for a spot of planting at Parliament Square. Bananas and magic mushrooms popped up amongst the pansies and spinach, while large banners declared The Worms Will Turn!, Let London Sprout, and Capitalism is Pants. The cops had helpfully flooded the square the night before, making it easier to roll up the turf and start laying it over the road. Up went a Maypole and the celebrations began. As Big Ben chimed, SchNEWS wondered how long it was since such traffic-free revelry had happened in front of the Houses of Parliament. Further up the road a McDonalds was getting the customary trashing, before riot police moved in, splitting the crowd in two and trapping hundreds of people in Trafalgar Square for hours.

Extractions: Vice-President of Africa Region th March 1999 Dear Mr Wolfensohn, Over the past several months, in a number of meetings and workshops both in the US and Chad, development and environment NGOs have put questions to the World Banks representatives about the details of the planned Chad-Cameroon Pipeline Project. We have received a great deal of information from the Bank in response to our questions. Unfortunately, however, we have yet to receive precise answers to our specific questions. These questions are vital to the well-being of the peoples of Chad and Cameroon and to the health of their environment. We must therefore request, once again, that the World Bank answer our questions. In order to facilitate this process, we are attaching these questions in the form of a list. One of the major problems NGOs have encountered in the process of discussing the Project with both the Bank and Exxon is that we are regularly put off by excuses of insufficient information or confidentiality, and while we are trying to obtain information from other quarters, work on the Project goes forward (e.g., clearing, compensation, construction). We would therefore ask that the Bank respond to our questions with precise answers by end of March 1999 at the latest. In those cases where no response to a question is forthcoming, we will have to assume a refusal to share information.

Islam is the state religion (with Sunni predominating), and there is a sizable Roman Catholic minority. Arabic, French, and Comorian (a blend of Swahili and Arabic) are all official languages. With few natural resources, poor soil, and overpopulation, the islands are one of the world's poorest nations. Some 80% of the people are involved in agriculture. Vanilla, cloves, ylang-ylang (used in perfumes), and copra are the major exports; cassava and bananas are also grown. Rice and other foodstuffs, cement, petroleum products, transport vehicles, and consumer goods are imported. The country is heavily dependent on France for trade and foreign aid.

Extractions: The people of the world speak between 3,000 and 6,000 languages. Of these, 80 to 90 percent are spoken by indigenous peoples, representing almost all linguistic diversity today. A few native-language communities, like the Aymara and the Tswana, are large and robust, but most are small and fragile. Only 276 languages are spoken by a million or more people. Languages seem to be disappearing faster than ever before. I estimate that there are about 15 percent fewer languages now than in 1500 A.D. This is alarming in itself, but, just as important, the consequent reduction of cultural diversity may threaten humanity's survival. Our adaptive success as a specieswith over 5 billion people in such diverse environments as jungles, deserts, and the Arcticis due to "culture," implying the communication of ideas through language. Linguistic diversity relates to adaptational ideas about property, health care, food, children, power, and disputes. The loss of language diversity diminishes our ability to adapt because it decreases the pool of knowledge from which to draw. The existence or disappearance of languages has particular political and economic implications for native peoples themselves. Consider language-related politics in India, Belgium, Canada, Lithuania, and Estonia. Cultural uniquenessethnicity reinforces claims to a share of political power, land, jobs, and other resources in heterogeneous states. Language is a powerful force in legitimating those claims.

Extractions: Kyoto Declaration "West Africa is probably the most dynamic offshore play in the world today." - Offshore Magazine There is a huge new boom in oil exploration throughout Central Africa. Following the end of the cold war rivalries in the region and the development of new technologies in the last decade, oil companies are falling over themselves to offer lucrative contracts to governments in Cameroon, Chad, the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Angola. The World Bank plans to fund an oil pipeline through Central African rainforests that will bring huge profits to Shell, Exxon, and Elf while causing environmental havoc and threatening local populations - all with U.S. taxpayers backing the deal. The oil companies are about to build a 600-mile pipeline from the Doba oil fields in Chad to coastal Cameroon, slashing through fragile rainforest that is home to the Baka and Bakola peoples, communities of traditional hunter-gatherers. Oil industry experts say the pipeline could deliver between 150,000 and 250,000 barrels per day from the Kom, Miandoum, Bolobo and Sdigui fields. "Once construction begins, we'll see an uncontrollable influx of people in search of work - the result will be deforestation, wildlife poaching, and the loss of community land," says Environmental Defense Fund economist Korinna Horta.

Extractions: A mbroise Kom's "Knowledge and Legitimation" appears to be written from the century that has just passed, self-located as it is "at the end of the millennium." Unsurprisingly, therefore, it possesses a note of exhaustion arising from intense frustration and an overwhelming sense of failure: the "multidimensional failure" of institutions, states, and economies in Africa. His piece indicts not simply one society or some nations, but the entire continent. Kom asks rhetorically, "Today, just as in the past, doesn't everything happen as if most countries in Africa were irremediably extrovert, the quest for knowledge being organised mainly so as to be able to claim some sort of extracontinental legitimacy?" That I find this question astonishing testifies to my ignorance of what is occurring in African countries. The same question would make little sense today in large Asian states such as China, Japan, India, and Indonesia, and also in smaller states such as South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Comparison is beyond my abilities as a cultural commentator. It needs to be noted however, that it is difficult, if not impossible, to generalize about the continent of Asia in the way that Kom does with Africa. A number of Asian countries, for example, were never conventionally colonized, as in the case of China, Japan and Thailand. Still, all these countries experienced histories of traumatic contact with Western powers: China, for example, suffered a series of humiliating defeats and loss of territory to many European powers and Japan was occupied by American forces after the end of the Pacific War. Thus, my statements are partial and there will be exceptions and qualifiers that this brief commentary will not be able to cover.

The study of language is linguistics, an academic discipline founded by Ferdinand de Saussure. Those who speak a language are part of that language's linguistic community. Making a principled distinction between one human language and another is often not possible. One major issue is the dialect continuum phenomena, where the boundaries between named language groups are necessarily arbitrary. For instance, there are dialects of German very similar to Dutch which are not mutually intelligible with other dialects of (what we call) German.
