Post Civil War History Persian and Arab traders established business contacts with east Africans over 1,000 years ago. These relations, coupled with refugees who fled the turmoil in Arabia after the death of the prophet Muhammad in the 7 th century, resulted in a significant number of Arab immigrants residing on the coast of east Africa. The mixing of the coastal Bantu-speaking African peoples with these Arab immigrants led to the emergence of the Swahili people and language. The Swahili people lived and worked for the next seven centuries with the indigenous African population. During this time, the Swahili people expanded their trade and communication further inland and to the south with other African groups, including ancestral tribes of the Somali Bantu. By the time the Portuguese arrived in the 15 th century, there existed a modern economy and advanced society on the east coast of Africa that some claim rivaled those in Europe. Portuguese colonial rule, however, disrupted the traditional local economic networks on the east African coast, resulting in a general breakdown of the once prosperous Swahili economy.

These ancestral tribes include, among others, the Makua and Yao of southern Tanzania and northern Mozambique; the Ngindo of southern Tanzania; the Nyasa of southern Tanzania, northern Mozambique, and northern Malawi; and the Zaramo and Zigua of northeast Tanzania. Other southeast African tribes represented among the Bantu refugees include the Digo, Makale, Manyawa, Nyamwezi, and Nyika.

Extractions: Thank you for your commitment to participate with World Mission Centre in God's agenda to bring the Gospel to bear on all nations. The following describes the advances made in Tanzania, a country identified in '93 - '95 with ten least unreached people groups: PROJECT FOCUS' OBJECTIVES At GCOWE 97, Pretoria, South Africa, under the sponsorship of World Mission Centre (WMC), church leaders challenged WMC to develop a strategy to plant churches in the people groups listed in "The 100 Least Reached People Groups of Southern Africa–It Can Be Done." These groups were identified by WMC's research conducted '93-'95. As a result, Project Focus was launched with the objective to plant at least one church in each people group by 31 December 2000 and multiple churches by 2005 –at least 1 church for every 3,000 people. Other objectives were to train national missionaries and "to provoke, enthuse, inspire and release" national churches in these Southern African countries to assume the responsibility to plant these churches. PROJECT FOCUS IN TANZANIA In July/August, I had the joy of leading a WMC team to Tanzania (Lydia accompanied me) where Project Focus, under the oversight of WMC's representative, a retired Anglican minister, is in full operation reaching the ten least reached people groups in that country. WMC's specific objectives were to check on the progress of Project Focus (How many churches have been planted since the inception of the strategy? Where should special effort be focused to reach people with the Gospel?), provide in-service training touching on some of the critical issues faced in church planting in the context of non-biblical religious concepts, and to encourage and challenge church leaders to press on with church planting and even go beyond their own borders.

They just slaughter most of the chickens in Asia due to the chicken flue. If the Chinese and US could do it ourselves, with blood and sweat using hand tools, these people need to learn those skills too. They need to learn to abstain from sex outside of marriage and in stead do hard work. Human were not genetically engineered to be sexually stimulated most of the time.

It's a place where the strong surviveLive and Let Die. Anything goes. And when they come to the USA, their ethnic heritage doesn't change here either. In fact, this is a much better hunting ground that ever the savanna was. There are so many easy pickings in our suburbsespecially with the elderly. And most other third world countries see the USA the very same way. I get almost NO e-mail. Not even spam! When I do, this is the kind of solicitation I get. I have a lot of them too. When we bring these people to the US to do service work for the elderly, and disabled we have just a bit of a problem. We are the weak and according to their cultural normto be exploited. This is true for most coming in from third world countries. The morals and ethics in the USA just don't apply. They don't get it. The think is: Americans are stupid. Whose to see if I take? Whose to tell if I intimidate. Do it. Why not? Malawi Warrior

Aherne (Indiana University, USA) Textiles, due to their nature as easily transportable and widely desired commodities, cross boundaries that are not only geographical, but also political, cultural, social, ethnic, economic, and gendered. Thus, they are particularly useful for dealing with such complex domains as the exchange of ideas and practices, and the manipulation and negotiation of ethnicity. The functions of cloths may fluctuate, as part of ongoing, ever-changing processes which reflect new concerns, inspirations, and patronage. Paper proposals are requested from individuals studying textiles' changing contexts over time, space, and across cultures, to create new forms, interpretations, meanings, and contexts of use.

Extractions: Thaddeus Sunseri IN 1874, WHEN the British officer Frederic Elton visited the southeast coast of Tanzania around the Rufiji delta, he noted how important the region's forests were to local commerce. Rufiji people obtained a wide variety of forest products, including wax, rubber, ivory, mangroves, and "immense quantities" of copal to trade with Indians and Arabs who settled on the coast. Elton traveled north and south of the delta and crisscrossed the land in between, and thus provided a view of the region ten years before German colonial rule began. Observing how local people guarded access to copal diggings and other forest tracts jealously, Elton wrote "the natives are only too ready to unite against the slightest encroachment on their monopoly." In one instance while camped along the Rufiji, Elton's party was surrounded by "about 800 men, more than half of whom were armed with guns, the rest carrying spears and bows." The leader made it clear that they were there to guard local trade against interlopers and "they heard there was to be a fight, and they would join the fight." Thirty years later the German colonial administration made the Rufiji delta and a one hundred mile stretch of coastal mangroves into a forest reserve, severely circumscribing African rights of access. With the advent of German rule, state-regulated forestry had arrived in Tanzania for the first time. In 1905, peoples of the Rufiji basin, wearing the same blue kaniki cloth around their hips as those whom Elton encountered, attacked representatives of German authority, including many involved in the declaration of forest reserves, in what is known as the Maji Maji rebellion.

Extractions: BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 2 From this statement are excepted those tongues classified as semi-Bantu. In some languages of the Lower Niger and of the Gold Coast the word for fowl is generally traceable to a root kuba. This form kuba also enters the Cameroon region, where it exists alongside of -koko. Kuba may have arisen independently, or have been derived from the Bantu kuku. etymology of word-roots is concerned. Further evidence of slight etymological and even grammatical relationships may be traced as far west as the lower Niger and northern and western Gold Coast languages (and, in some word-roots, the Mandingo group). The Fula language would offer some grammatical resemblance if its suffixes were turned into prefixes (a change which has actually taken place in the reverse direction in the English language between its former Teutonic and its modern Romanized conditions; cf. offset and set-off, upstanding and standing-up ). The legends and traditions of the Bantu peoples themselves invariably point to a northern origin, and a period, not wholly removed from their racial remembrance, when they were strangers in their present lands. Seemingly the Bantu, somewhat early in their migration down the east coast, took to the sea, and not merely occupied the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar, but travelled as far afield as the Comoro archipelago and even the west coast of Madagascar. Their invasion of Madagascar must have been fairly considerable in numbers, and they doubtless gave rise to the race of black people known traditionally to the Hovas as the. Va-zimba.

Kenya I Tanzania East and Central Africa The Region and Its History Islam was an integral part of the East African coastal culture by as early as 1000 CE. Islam arrived on the coast through contact with religious teachers, merchants and slave traders (Martin 1986; Oded 2000). Along the eastern coast and the islands of Kenya and Tanzania, Islam became an important force by the 17th century and remains the dominant religion today. The arrival of the Islamic religion and the concurrent Indian Ocean trade network helped to develop the coastal region into the distinct cultural and political entity known as the Swahili coast. In the 17th century, this 2000-mile long coast came under the domination of the Sultan of Oman, who moved his capital to the island of Zanzibar in the 19th century.
