Extractions: [Upload image] THE SAHARA HAS LINKED rather than divided the peoples who inhabit it and has served as an avenue for migration and conquest. Mauritania lying next to the Atlantic coast at the western edge of the desert received and assimilated into its complex society many waves of these migrants and conquerors. Berbers moved south to Mauritania beginning in the third century A.D. followed by Arabs in the eighth century subjugating and assimilating Mauritania's original inhabitants. From the eighth through the fifteenth century black kingdoms of the western Sudan such as Ghana Mali and Songhai brought their political culture from the south. The divisive tendencies of the various groups within Mauritanian society have always worked against the development of Mauritanian unity. Both the Sanhadja Confederation at its height from the eighth to the tenth century and the Almoravid Empire from the eleventh to the twelfth century were weakened by internecine warfare and both succumbed to further invasions from the Ghana Empire and the Almohad Empire respectively. The one external influence that tended to unify the country was Islam. The Islamization of Mauritania was a gradual process that spanned more than 500 years. Beginning slowly through contacts with Berber and Arab merchants engaged in the important caravan trades and rapidly advancing through the Almoravid conquests Islamization did not take firm hold until the arrival of Yemeni Arabs in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and was not complete until several centuries later. Gradual Islamization was accompanied by a process of arabization as well during which the Berber masters of Mauritania lost power and became vassals of their Arab conquerors.

History SCI s history. Origins; Review of SCI s historical development 19201987 A European regional Committee is set up as follow-up of the European bi-annual http://www.sciint.org/history/history.html
Extractions: SCI's History The concept of workcamps evolved from a group of devoted individuals' efforts, sparked by the convictions of Pierre Ceresole . After World War I, Ceresole's pacifism and his interest in the philosophy of William James led him to create what he hoped would evolve as an alternative to military service. He and others went to work in a war-torn village in France. They helped with reconstruction, working to diffuse war hostilities. Thus the first workcamp was born. As the number of workcamps grew, SCI was formed and workcamps directed more attention to the needs of the underprivileged. During this period, workcamps spread outside of Europe to Asia and Africa. In the developing countries the emphasis was upon community development, education and agriculture. Workcamps take place because a project needs outside support. The workcamp is designed to help the project to eventually become independent. Source: SCI International Archives Pierre Ceresole and Hubert Parris organise and carry out with a small international team reconstruction service in the was devastated village Esnes near Verdun in France.

Regional Activities - Africa It is the first time in the history of Interpol as organisation that regional regional organizations can be encouraged to support Interpol activities http://www.interpol.int/Public/Region/Africa/Default.asp
Extractions: History of the membership The continent's position as a crossroads between the Americas, Europe and Asia also lays it open to transnational crimes such as traffic in weapons, illicit drug trafficking, illegal immigration, traffic in stolen motor vehicles and fraud, which can only be stopped by international co-operation. 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.
