Usually, however, these are quite expensive when purchased on the open market. Cheaper when on-farm produced. Commercial plantations are not without pest problems. Tephrosia, for example, suffers from insects, nematodes, damping off, and problems with seed production. Even pyrethrum plants suffer from nematode problems in the foliage. Recently, neem has been hit with severe root rot problems. Further, identification of the active compound(s) in these plants is illusive and very expensive to pursue.

Extractions: AFRICA Benin Community-Based Forest Management in the Igbodja Forest In most of the African countries, claims concerning community-based forest and natural resource management have arisen as a reaction to the repressive nature of natural resource laws inherited from Colonial times. Forestry laws in force in the post-Colonial period compromised local community rights to forest ownership. Licences and other forms of taxes so far unknown to local communities were imposed to control the exploitation of forest products that the local inhabitants had had free access to previously, either for their domestic consumption or for marketing. To palliate this situation the authorities of ACTION Plus NGO, after obtaining economic support from the IUCN Dutch Committee to carry out a study on this forest, encouraged the inhabitants of the zone to launch activities aimed at implementing community-based forest management. The breeding of hedgehogs (Thryonomys swinderianus) has started and beekeeping has been introduced in two villages to halt the frequent plant fires in the region.

Extractions: Preservation results in human rights abuses The preservationist approach to forest protection tends to consider people as a threat to nature protection and frequently results in the violation of the human rights of rural communities and indigenous peoples living in the forests. This view not only supports the unrealistic idea of a nature void of people, but also ignores the benefits that the traditional management of natural resources brings to nature conservation itself. Over the last few years, conflicts related to this issue have arisen in several places and the following case is yet another sad result of such approach. In October 1998 riot police and forest officers entered the village of Nzasa at the Kazizumbwi Forest Reserve, 45 kilometres from Dar es Salaam. They beat them, burned their crops and houses. Hundreds of structures, mainly thatched residential houses and granaries, were pulled down and burned during the operation. At least 700 people - including women and children - were left homeless, evicted out of the area and with no other place to go to. The victims of the abuse recently reacted suing the authorities for this violent action. The villagers argue that the so called "Okoa Kazimzumbwi Operation" was criminal, because the government agents entered their homes unlawfully, harmed and assaulted them, and burned their crops. The villagers also argue that authorities changed the reserve boundaries after the assault in order to accuse them of having invaded it. The case is now before the High Court. June 1999.

'The murals of Dege County's Pewar (Ch. Baiya) Monastery are truly exquisite works of art that embrace their subject matters with a mixture of vivid color and painstaking detail. From ghastly esoteric scenes of demons wearing human skins to the serenity of buddhas seated in meditation, the depictions on the walls of the temple and upper prayer room comprise a mixture of stylistic influences from within and outside Tibet. Placid Nepalese-style bodhisattvas adorned with gold and flowing scarves face characteristic Tibetan esoteric figures with multiple arms and heads, standing on lifeless bodies. Just next to this unlikely couple lies a secular scene of workers so Chinese in style that they could almost have been transplanted from a Song or Jin Dynasty Shanxi temple wall ... '

Extractions: African Union needs a language to call its own Kiswahili is a rich and resilient tongue that should be adopted by the organisation, writes Sammy Were ASIDE from the lofty speeches at the inaugural African Union summit in Durban last month, and away from the melodrama and theatrics of Libya's "Guide" Muammar Gaddafi, there was a small resolution that was sneaked through. This was about formally adopting Kiswahili as one of the working languages of the AU. True enough, this is not a new resolution. It has been lying around for 17 years since it was first floated at a summit of the Organisation of African Unity, the AU's venerable predecessor. It may have been brought up again in Durban this time, but chances that it will be implemented soon are only marginally higher than those of Nelson Mandela breaking the 100m sprint record at Durban's King's Park Stadium. This is a pity. And it has nothing to do with any undue weakness of Kiswahili versus the other OAU working languages: English, French and Portuguese. To operationalise the language, so to speak, at continental summit level is admittedly no small challenge. Kiswahili does have its technical shortcomings, but I think it is rich and resilient enough to rise to the challenge.

Each aspect of a language poses a unique set of problems. This confines us to producing material by population size.

Extractions: Intercultural Theology and the Mission of the Church In its recent Assessment of Research Quality the Association of the Universities in the Netherlands noted the danger of 'an overly introspective Eurocentrism' in doing theology in the Netherlands and called for more 'involvement with extra-European issues'. (1) Some years earlier I made an investigation of missiological education in the Dutch faculties of theology. This investigation confirmed the diagnosis of Eurocentrism, except for some evangelical schools of theology which have a missionary and crosscultural set-up. (2) The Nijmegen Graduate School of Theology has been opened as part of the 'mutual missionary assistance of churches'. But the question is: How mutual is this mutual assistance? To what extent are we open to a 'reversed mission' by which members of churches in the South help us to overcome the crisis of Christianity in the West? This contribution will have four sections. First I wish to elaborate on the paradigm shift in mission. Then I will introduce intercultural theology as new perspective and a new method in theology. I will continue by showing the need of developing an intercultural hermeneutics. Finally I will show a direction in which we could go, namely subaltern hermeneutics. In the conclusion I will discern the consequences of a new understanding of culture for the mission of the church in the 21st century.
