Extractions: 9 April 1998 THE AFRICAN RENAISSANCE, SOUTH AFRICA AND THE WORLD We must assume that the Roman, Pliny the Elder, was familiar with the Latin saying, Ex Africa semper aliquid novi! (Something new always comes out of Africa). Writing during the first century of the present millennium, Pliny gave his fellow Romans some startlingly interesting and supposedly new information about Africans. He wrote: "Of the Ethiopians there are diverse forms and kinds of men. Some there are toward the east that have neither nose nor nostrils, but the face all full. Others that have no upper lip, they are without tongues, and they speak by signs, and they have but a little hole to take their breath at, by the which they drink with an oaten straw ... In a part of Afrikke be people called Pteomphane, for their King they have a dog, at whose fancy they are governed ... And the people called Anthropomphagi which we call cannibals, live with human flesh. The Cinamolgi, their heads are almost like to heads of dogs... Blemmyis a people so called, they have no heads, but hide their mouth and their eyes in their breasts." (Cited in: "Africa: A Biography of the Continent": John Reader, Hamish Hamilton, London, 1997.)

Extractions: Country Info Tanzania Introduction Tanzania General Data Tanzania Maps Tanzania Culture ... Tanzania Time and Date Tanzania People Back to Top There are also Asian and European minorities. During the colonial period, Asian immigration was encouraged, and Asians dominated the up-country produce trade. Coming mostly from Gujurat in India, they form several groups distinguished by religious belief: the Isma'ilis, Bohras, Sikhs, Punjabis, and Goans. Since independence the Asian population has steadily declined due to emigration. The European population, never large because Tanganyika was not a settler colony, was made up primarily of English, Germans, and Greeks. In the postindependence period, a proliferation of different European, North American, and Japanese expatriates connected with foreign aid projects have made Tanzania their temporary residence. Population distribution in Tanzania is extremely uneven. Density varies from 1 person per square kilometer (3 per sq. mi.) in arid regions to 51 per square kilometer (133 per sq. mi.) in the mainland's well-watered highlands to 134 per square kilometer (347 per sq. mi.) on Zanzibar. More than 80% of the population is rural. Dar es Salaam is the capital and largest city; Dodoma, located in the center of Tanzania, has been designated the new capital, although action to move the capital has stalled. The African population consists of more than 120 ethnic groups, of which the Sukuma, Haya, Nyakyusa, Nyamwezi, and Chaga have more than 1 million members. The majority of Tanzanians, including such large tribes as the Sukuma and the Nyamwezi, are of Bantu stock. Groups of Nilotic or related origin include the nomadic Masai and the Luo, both of which are found in greater numbers in neighboring Kenya. Two small groups speak languages of the Khoisan family peculiar to the Bushman and Hottentot peoples. Cushitic-speaking peoples, originally from the Ethiopian highlands, reside in a few areas of Tanzania.

Extractions: Southern Africa Malawi South Africa Conclusion Footnotes Because there are so few Muslims in this part of Africa, this brief paper will only focus on the two countries where there are considerable Muslim populations about whom information is available: Malawi and South Africa. Malawi Islam came to Malawi through several different routes. It was introduced to the country through the Jumbes, local rulers who represented the Sultan of Zanzibar and ruled along the coast of Lake Nyasa (now Lake Malawi) for most of the second half of the 19th century. During the same period, the Yao, an ethnic group that was, until then, based in Mozambique, migrated to the southern tip of the lake, bringing Islam with them. Additionally, as Christianity spread during the period of colonization, adopting Islam was seen as a means of resisting colonization. The Yao and closely related ethnic groups (including the Mwera, Makua and the Makonde) total some 8,000,000 people, mostly in Malawi, but also Mozambique and Tanzania. About half of these are Sunni Muslims who adhere to the Shafi school of Islamic jurisprudence.

Extractions: Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Getting Around Mozambicans are putting their shattering past behind them and are rebuilding their country at a remarkable pace. And there's a fair number of things to see, including stunning beaches, World Heritage sites, funky colonial architecture and colourful local culture. A long, horrific civil war scarred the country and left a million land mines scattered about the countryside. Much of its wildlife was decimated, and cyclones have ravaged its coastline. Droughts and floods take turns rubbing salt in Mozambique's wounds. It has been estimated that more than one million land mines - laid by both sides during the war - remain unexploded in Mozambique. Some minefields have warning signs, but most are unmarked and often only get discovered when someone gets blown to bits. For this reason it is simply not safe to go wandering off into the bush anywhere without first seeking local advice - and even then your safety isn't guaranteed. Stay on roads and well-worn tracks where other people have obviously gone before. There are also a lot of guns in Mozambique, and a lot of desperately poor people. Armed robberies and drive-by theft at gunpoint in Maputo was once completely unknown, but since 1996 several incidents have been reported. Women are advised not to walk alone along any beach in Mozambique, and travel by convoy is recommended throughout the country, due to the risk of banditry.

Martin and Agnes Lee Agama Dates: Background: Among the activities of the People and Plants in Southeast Asia, the Certificate Training Course (CTC) in applied ethnobotany was focused on building skills and knowledge in a talented group of researchers and community workers who have at least an undergraduate degree. In an evaluation of the CTC, Danna Leaman suggested that future courses be held within a regional institution committed to ethnobotanical research and training. It was decided that Khon Kaen University would be an excellent choice: its Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Botany, headed by Dr. Chayan Picheansoonthon, has a strong record of ethn obotanical research. In addition, the Department had been seeking someone to design and teach an ethnobotany course that was already part of the curriculum but not yet taught at the University.
