Extractions: Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon Regional Representatives: Mohammed EWANGAYE Tuareg, Niger West Africa Saoudata ABOUBACRINE Tuareg, Burkina Faso Deputy, West Africa Sada ALBACHIRE Tuareg, Niger Gender, West Africa Regional Review: In West Africa, indigenous peoples emphasise their historical relationship with the Sahara and their continued adherence to nomadic / transhumant economic systems and a cultural heritage that predates agriculture in the region. Groups claiming indigenous status include the Tuareg, Bororo, Wodaabe, Tubu (Teda and Daza) and Mbororo. The Bororo, Wodaabe and Mbororo are all part of the larger Peul / Fulani language and culture group in West Africa. They are the groups who most adhere to their traditional nomadic culture and identity. The claim for collective rights as indigenous peoples arises from the marginalisation of Saharan nomads, first under colonialism and then later by independent states, all of which are dominated by sedentary agricultural peoples living in the South. Other extremely vulnerable groups include the Bassari hunters of Senegal and the Nemadi hunters of Mauritania. Today, there are still unresolved tensions in the region. There has been symbolic representation of nomads in the political systems of several countries, but there has been no serious effort to address the issue of creating substantive democracy that meets the needs of nomads and sedentary peoples, and the ongoing economic marginalisation of the north.

Extractions: 27 November 1995 Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 This article reinforced my awareness that traditional African societies had important democratic features, albeit not the representative democratic forms touted in Western cultures, but democratic nevertheless. I also am aware that colonialized and poverty stricten peoples in Asia have been able to find their way toward contemporary democratic governments. Furthermore, eastern European poeples have struggled through to democratic structures is spite of pressures from their former Soviet neighbor. Romania is an example of where this took place against a repressive dictatorship. My musings went deeper into the Nigerian situation. I am aware that the old Habe kingdoms were always subject to the tempering effects of their princes; Habe kings could not be tyrants, at least not until they began to come into possession of guns and other weapons. It was then that they became tyrannical, and it was then that they faced the challenged of the Fulani revolt. So why do Africans, in spite of traditional patterns of democracy and in spite of 30 to 35 years of independent rule, have so much difficulty? More importantly, what are the prospects that they will be able to do it in the near future?

Ethnicity In Nigeria without regard for the territorial claims of the indigenous peoples (38). The first, the Hausafulani, are an example of a fused ethnic group, http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/nigeria/ethnicity.html
Extractions: The ethnicity of Nigeria is so varied that there is no definition of a Nigerian beyond that of someone who lives within the borders of the country (Ukpo, p. 19). The boundaries of the formerly English colony were drawn to serve commercial interests, largely without regard for the territorial claims of the indigenous peoples (38). As a result, about three hundred ethnic groups comprise the population of Nigeria (7), and the country's unity has been consistently under siege: eight attempts at secession threatened national unity between 1914 and 1977. The Biafran War was the last of the secessionist movements within this period (3). The concept of ethnicity requires definition. Ukpo calls an "ethnic group" a "group of people having a common language and cultural values" (10). These common factors are emphasized by frequent interaction between the people in the group. In Nigeria, the ethnic groups are occasionally fusions created by intermarriage, intermingling and/or assimilation. In such fusions, the groups of which they are composed maintain a limited individual identity. The groups are thus composed of smaller groups, but there is as much difference between even the small groups; as Chief Obafemi Awolowo put it, as much "as there is between Germans, English, Russians and Turks" (11). The count of three hundred ethnic groups cited above overwhelmingly enumerates ethnic minority groups, those which do not comprise a majority in the region in which they live. These groups usually do not have a political voice, nor do they have access to resources or the technology needed to develop and modernize economically. They therefore often consider themselves discriminated against, neglected, or oppressed. There are only three ethnic groups which have attained "ethnic majority" status in their respective regions: the Hausa-Fulani in the north, the

Extractions: The Yoruba as an ethnic and cultural group is one of the most researched ethnic groups in the world. By 1976, the available literature on the Yoruba, despite many omissions, numbered 3,488 items, an unrivalled feat in sub-Saharan Africa. A Yoruba civilization with a set of ideas, values, practices, philosophical thought, beliefs, traditions, institutions, material goods and technologies is well established and never in doubt. Concrete historical realities show that the Yoruba possess a rich civilization that is comparable with other civilizations of the world. The major aspects of this culture are expressed in visible attributes and in sublime values. The material culture is exhibited in commerce, manufacturing technology, arts and crafts and of course music and dance. Yoruba values are best seen in respect for elders and constituted authorities, honesty, integrity, diligence and a profound religious belief system.

Extractions: Indigenous modes of education here refer to the native, locally developed forms of bringing up the youngsters by the older and more experienced members of the society. Being native is by no means to deny the fact that indigenous learning goals, contents, structures and methods have not been enriched, or for that matter, polluted or both by outside influences. As far as West Africa and Mauritania in particular are concerned, the deepest foreign impacts on indigenous education were caused by the massive Arab intrusion into the area as part of the 8th century Islamic conquest (Klarke, 1982). Second in importance was the European colonial conquest of the 19th century and its subsequent social, cultural, political and economic legacy (Egudu, 1977). Although not often mentioned, African traditional learning forms have had their own imprints on both Islamic and Western education on the continent. Neither of the two systems has escaped gradual Africanization. The Marabou is increasingly playing the role of thetraditional Medicine Man or spirit medium (
