[Print Friendly Version] Central African Republic Country Reports on Human Rights Practices Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 23, 2001 The Central African Republic is a constitutional democracy with a multiparty legislature. Ange Felix Patasse, leader of the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People (MLPC), who first was elected president in 1993, was reelected with a narrow majority in 1999. The 1999 presidential election, like National Assembly elections held in late 1998, generally was free but was controlled by the Government and was marred by irregularities that tended to favor the ruling party candidate. Although the Constitution provides for separation of powers, the legislature is vulnerable to manipulation by the President, who dominates the Government. The president can veto legislation, although two-thirds of the unicameral legislature can override his veto, and he can rule by decree under special conditions. The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary; however, it is subject to executive interference.

African Pygmy Settlement Pattern Ed Hagen December 13, 1993 Introduction The African pygmies are the largest extant group of hunter-gatherers in the world (Cavalli-Sforza, 1986). They live in close association with farmers in the central African rain forest. This paper examines the spatial, temporal, and ecological aspects of the distribution of the various pygmy groups throughout the forest. Although there are several lines of evidence regarding the prehistoric spread of farming peoples through the forest, nothing is known about the original pygmy occupation, nor the evolution of their relationship with the horticulturists. This paper will examine the history, geography, and ecology of that forest, and the prehistoric immigration of farming peoples in order to provide a context for both the original and current pygmy occupation. The history of trade, colonialism and Independence in the region had a significant impact on pygmy settlement pattern, and are discussed as well. Although the forager-farmer relation is outside the scope of this paper, it clearly has had a profound impact on pygmy settlement pattern. We should keep in mind that this relationship has probably had a very long history, in which social, political, economic and ecological factors all played an important role. What we see today very likely differs in important ways from even the fairly recent past. Forest History, Geography and Ecology

B - A NECESSARY PROCESS AND AN EQUILIBRIUM TO MAINTAIN 1) THE EXPLOITATION OF WILD RESOURCES Non-timber resources 2) THE PROBLEM OF PROTECTED AREAS 3) SWIDDEN AGRICULTURE ; CONSTRAINTS AND POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS ... b) Improvements It is important to maintain a double balance between on the one hand the area of land put to use and which is available to all in the community, and demography on the other hand : the result is a delicate problem of population density Population growth + reduced land areas = DANGER The immigration of non-indigenous populations in the forested areas, land given over to development, to exploitation or even to nature conservation, etc, all these elements make one wonder how much land is actually left for indigenous populations, what activities they are allowed to carry out, and it requires that one elaborate some kind of policy defining the position of these populations within the Nation State. In defining the necessary land areas, two factors must be taken into account, each requiring very different spatial units : - shifting agriculture with a long fallow ;

III - FOREST POPULATIONS A) TYPES OF EXPLOITATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT B) THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF FOREST SOCIETIES 1) Traditional populations and the forest 2) From symbiotic to specialized economies ... 2) The main ethnic groups A) TYPES OF EXPLOITATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT Throughout the forest, from the Atlantic to the East African Lakes, from the 4th Parallel North and 4th Parallel South, different strategies for exploiting the forest co-exist. Traditional swidden agriculturists living in dense rainforest areas make up about 80 % of forest populations. Shifting agriculture provides the basis of their food system, supplemented by hunting, gathering and fishing. All these populations are dependent on wild forest products, whether they themselves engage in hunting, gathering and fishing or whether they obtain them from groups specializing in these activities, hunter-gatherer Pygmies or fishing populations along the rivers. In the Congo Basin, vast swampy areas of flooded forest have emerged around the big rivers ; these particular ecological niches have lead to the development of specific economic systems which include fishing populations living on the islands on the rivers and fishing-agriculturist populations exploiting the silted land. These areas have long since been characterized by a symbiotic network of regional exchanges and the high degree of specialization in fishing and commercial exchanges.

By Horst Rutsch for the Chronicle Home Archive Français Contact Us ... Links Web Article Also at the ceremony, UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura stressed that through literacy, the downtrodden could find their voice, the poor could learn how to learn and the powerless could empower themselves. The drive for universal literacy was integrally linked to the human rights agenda. Literacy was not a universal panacea for all development problems, but, as a tool of development, it was both versatile and proven. The literacy as freedom initiative was designed to "free people from ignorance, incapacity and exclusion" and empower them for action, choices and participation, he said. Highlighting the enormity of the challenge, he said the spread of literacy required stamina and staying power from all partners, noting that the growth rate of world literacy had slowed in recent years. President Natsagiin Bagabandi of Mongolia, the original sponsor of the Literacy Decade resolution adopted by the 56th General Assembly in December 2001, warned that the international community would fail to guarantee equal human rights for all as long as it accepted illiteracy. Literacy was not only the primary requirement for economic well-being, but also a solid base for a lifelong investment in a better and happy life. President Bagabandi said that the virtual elimination of illiteracy called for an effective partnership based on redoubled efforts, resource mobilization and coordination of relevant policies and strategies at the global level. Education empowered people so they could effectively overcome underdevelopment, poverty and unemployment, and contribute to the cause of sustainable development and democracy.

OGBUNIKE MY BELOVED HOME TOWN by Chidi Denis Isizoh 1. Geographical survey The town is bounded on the East by Umudioka (Idemili Local Government Area), on the north-east by Umunya (Oyi Local Government Area) and on the North by Nkwelle-Ezunaka (also Oyi Local Government Area). She shares her boundary on the West and South with Ogidi (Idemili Local Government Area). She has an uneven landscape, sufficient rainfall and fertile soil. The 1953 national census peged the number of the inhabitants at 5,366. Since then there has been an explosion in the population. In 1993 the figures rose up by 42%. 2. Historical Survey Umu-Iguedo clan Ogbunike belongs to Umu-Iguedo clan. There is no dispute about this in history. Until recently the indigenes of the town participated in the olili-nne-Iguedo and they usually sent their offering to the traditional priest of Nando. Iguedo, a woman, is widely regarded aetiologically as the mother of the Umu-Iguedo clan. There are divergent opinions on this. No position can be outrightly and correctly accepted or rejected, as some of the data came purely through oral tradition and scanty archaeological discoveries. But there is near unanimity in different parts of the area of our studies concerning the strong connection between an individual person called Iguedo and the towns that constitute Umu-Iguedo clan.
