Brown Bags in Brief This fall’s Brown Bag lecture series was a great success, drawing students and faculty from all schools at Columbia to listen and exchange ideas with a variety of experts from academia, journalism and public policy. While the lectures covered a broad range of counties and issues, South Africa and the great lakes region benefited from a deeper focus. September 23 rd Through her research into the San Francisco based Black Panther movement, Robyn Spencer , Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History, discovered links to independence and anti-apartheid movements in Southe rn Africa. Her lecture, "revolutionary solidarity," was based on a chapter of her dissertation that she researched this past summer with the help of a grant from the Ford foundation. Her research and interviews with participants in the independence struggle shed a new light on the "international" aspirations of the Black Panther Movement. September 30 th Mark Saunders, a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Comparative Literature, spoke about the role of testimony before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in rewriting the history of the apartheid era. His talk, "Test imony and Nation-Building,"

Seeking and locating the criminals involved poses problems relating to information exchange, international identification and arrests with a view to extradition. This is why Interpol-in accordance with Article 2 (1) of its Constitution-ensures the closest possible co-operation between the criminal police authorities of all member countries, including those in Africa. Crime is not associated with a particular region and is certainly not a problem for Africa alone. Ever since it was established, the International Criminal Police Organization - Interpol has been seen by countries all over the world as an institution whose principles and objectives correspond to universal aspirations for human rights, public safety and the fight against ordinary law crime.

B. 12825, Lagos, 2 Chevron Drive, Lekki Peninsula, Lagos, Nigeria, phone: 234 1 260 0600, vony@chevron.com Integration of 3D seismic data, well log data, high resolution biostratigraphy and geochemical indicators provides an understanding of the geological processes that dominated the formation of the western arm of the Niger Delta basin. Through time, there has been rapid subsidence and a variety of structural and stratigraphic styles have developed. Over twenty sequences boundaries and chronostratigraphic surfaces have been mapped across the northwestern flank of the Niger Delta, a number of which have been tied to the Global Cycle Chart of Haq et al. (1987). An incision history has been developed from the late Oligocene (25.5Ma) to the Pliocene (3.0Ma) to highlight the direction and rates of erosion in this part of the Niger Delta. Shelf edge maps show the distribution of slope failures through geologic time, and transects taken across the area from different vintages reveal the transitions from shelf to slope facies. The outcome of this study includes the ability to predict sand fairways in the northwest Niger Delta and beyond; correlation of reservoir sands in the fields within the area; recognition of prospective intervals in ‘grey’ areas; and finally, the development of a chronostratigraphic chart for the entire northwestern Niger Delta prolific hydrocarbon province.

Each system is defined on the basis of source-rock and oil geochemistry, and these data demonstrate that the Tertiary (deltaic) petroleum system is the principal source for oil and gas in the Niger Delta. By building a regional structural and stratigraphic framework around this petroleum system in the northwestern part of the delta, a better understanding of previously elusive aspects of hydrocarbon generation and migration has emerged. In addition, this regionally integrated approach provides useful insights for new play types as well as a better understanding of factors controlling the complex GOR distribution within oil fields and sub-regionally. The process-response model of deformation cell links creation of accommodation space for deposition of sediments on the shelf to the coupled effects of normal faulting of the shelf and thrust faulting down-slope for any time during the delta’s history. Distribution and quality of reservoir sandstones are controlled primarily by depositional position relative to paleo-shoreline, paleo-shelf edge and distance down-slope. Shelf sands tend to be laterally continuous and require 3-way, or 4-way, closure for trapping hydrocarbons. Sand deposition on the middle to upper paleo-slope is generally confined to channelized distributary systems controlled by paleo-topography caused by thrust faulting and shale flowage. More distally, sand deposition on the lower paleo-slope and basin floor can be unconfined resulting in extensive amalgamated fan complexes. These deep-water sands trap hydrocarbons in more complex structural-stratigraphic traps.

Africa /Niger NIGER History and Government History: Evidence of human settlement in the region now known as Niger goes back 6000 years, when what was then a highly fertile area supported a well-developed civilisation. In the thousand years up to the 19th century, power in the region was based on control of the great trans-Saharan trade routes. The Hausa Kingdom dominated the central area from the 13th century. This power decreased from the 18th century onwards, as European traders used sea routes to make contact with West Africa. Colonised by the French in the late 19th century, Niger became part of French West Africa until 1958. It achieved independence in 1960. Hamani Diori was elected head of state and re-elected in 1965 and 1970. His government presided over a period of stability until its latter stages when severe drought from 1968 onwards brought about widespread civil unrest. In April 1974, the army, which is prone to intervening in Niger’s politics, staged a military coup under Lieutenant Colonel (later Major General) Seyni Kountché. A series of failed coups followed when Kountché attempted to civilianise the government. By 1983 however, the legislative Council of Ministers was entirely composed of civilians, under Prime Minister Oumarou Maname. Kountché died in 1987, to be replaced by his staunch ally, Ali Seibou, who consolidated his position during the late 1980s. Seibou established the

OAS_sitepage = URL + '/Africa/Benin/HistoryandGovernment'; document.write('Research Benin hotels at TripAdvisor'); Contact Addresses Overview General Information Passport/Visa ... Africa /Benin BENIN History and Government History: Benin was the seat of one of the great medieval African kingdoms. During the 13th century, the indigenous Edo people were run by a group of local chieftains. However, by the 15th century, a single ruler, known as the oba , had asserted control. Under the dynasty established by Ewuare the Great –the most famous of the obas – Benin’s territory expanded to cover a region between the Niger river delta and what is now the Nigerian city of Lagos. The obas brought great prosperity and a highly organised state to Benin. They also established good relations and an extensive trade (which included slaves) with the Portuguese and Dutch, who arrived from the 15th century onwards. The decline of the obas Benin was thus the first country in the 1990s to effect successfully the transition from dictatorship to a pluralistic political system. In the most recent round of national assembly elections, held in March 1995, Soglo’s political vehicle, the Parti de la Renaissance du Bénin , was the largest single party but lacked an overall majority. The success of a party formed by supporters of ex-president Kérékou, who had officially retired from active politics, encouraged him to stand at both the 1996 and 2001 presidential elections, both of which were successful. On the latter occasion, however, numerous irregularities and dubious practices led to a boycott of the poll by the main opposition candidates.

The tranquil obscurity of the middle reaches of the Niger River in West Africa belies its longstanding historical significance. On this frontier between desert and savanna, some of Africa's earliest farmers domesticated new crops amidst groups who specialized in herding or fishing. Later the geographical advantages of the region contributed to the Mali Empire, which was arguably Africa's most powerful trading state between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. Much later in the eighteenth century, the Bamana people combined their solid agricultural base with this tradition of state formation. The result was the creation of the neighboring states of Kaarta and Segu. The latter is the focus of the author's valuable contribution to the region's history. His canvas is a detailed one reflecting assiduous research. He provides a solid introduction to the Bamana political tradition stressing that "state unity was formed by ideologies other than religion" (1). The author could have provided a more thorough discussion of the particularities of this situationespecially the nature of the Ton or modified age-grade system. Also, the variants in the traditions of origin seem glossed over.

Substance and Origins: Since the dawn of history, Imazighen have been the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa, their territory stretching from Egypt to Mauritania and from the Mediterranean to the boundaries of historic sub-Saharan Black Africa. Various empires and peoples have conquered portions of historic Tamazgha , beginning with the Phoenicians and Greeks and continuing through the Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Turks, French, British, Spanish, and Italians. Imazighen have been subjected to various religious beliefs: their own early pantheistic concepts; the polytheistic dogmas of the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; and monotheistic Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Since the 13th century, most Imazighen have professed the Islamic faith and Islam has sunk most deeply into their psyches. Throughout their history, the Imazighen have always had their heroes or heroines who have defended their ancestral homeland but then succumbed to the superior "civilization" might of their conquerors. In 814 B.C., for example, Amazigh chief Larbas negotiated a deal to marry Princess Dido, daughter of the King of Tyre, in return for a small piece of real estate that eventually became Qart Hadasht (i.e., the New City, or Carthage). King Juba and king Massinissa intrigued with the Romans against the Carthaginians. Royal prince Jugurtha learned Roman fighting techniques and then led a formidable rebellion from 106 to 104 B.C. according to the Roman historian Sallust's account of the Jugurthine War.
