Extractions: Geostrategies in the Great Lakes Conflict and Spatial Designs for Peace Dr. Richard A. Griggs, Independent Projects Trust, Durban (Dr. Griggs is Research Director for Independent Projects Trusta non-governmental organization in Durban, South Africa. Griggs is also coordinator for the Center for World Indigenous Studies Fourth World Atlas Project.) 1. The Structural Conditions of Conflict Structure refers to relatively immobile social, physical, or economic factors that either constrain or facilitate conflict and help shape the geostrategic responses and discursive practices of key actors. Three such factors in the present situation are: (1) irrational political boundaries; (2) land shortages and environmental stress; and (3) ethnically differentiated access to power and wealth. 1.1 Political Boundaries 1.2 Land Shortages Burundi and Rwanda could easily have the highest percentage of disturbed, overpopulated land in Africa. Discounting uninhabitable areas [e.g., 10% of Rwanda's 26,340 square kilometers is National Park], the population density within Rwanda and Burundi exceeds 400 persons per square kilometer. Land scarcity, soil exhaustion, and a limited food supply were problems already noted in pre-colonial times. Colonial policy then intensified this environmental and demographic stress by encouraging large scale coffee and tea plantations. Through various policies of taxation, the German and Belgian administrators destroyed subsistence farming and communal ownership to force most of the rural population into coffee production. Consequent land shortages decreased per capita food production.

Tanzania Catholic Relief Services' work in Tanzania targets the poorest of the poor, focusing on agriculture, HIV/AIDS and emergency rehabilitation. CRS works to uphold the dignity and equality of each individual, build the capacity of its partners and empower communities to decide their own destiny. Our Work At A Glance In Tanzania, CRS works in the following areas: Agriculture Using a "Commodity Chain Approach", an innovative concept that considers every part of the commodity chain all the way up to developing local and international markets, CRS aims to improve crop production and to generate more income for poor farmers. It also aims to integrate livestock, crops and trees to diversify production and to protect the environment. HIV/AIDS Currently, an estimated 12 percent of the Tanzanian population (disproportionately women and youth) are living with HIV/AIDS. CRS/Tanzania focuses on integrating voluntary counseling and testing, care for people living with HIV/AIDS and preventive education for behavior change, and on empowering communities to take care of AIDS victims and orphans. CRS also integrates HIV/AIDS interventions with its agriculture and micro-business programs. Emergency Response CRS/Tanzania avoids direct relief distributions that are likely to encourage dependency and instead focuses on helping people recover and rehabilitate themselves after disaster strikes. For example, CRS has facilitated seed fairs in response to drought-induced food emergencies and provided assistance to a hospital caring for victims of a serious railway accident.

Also some other Maryknollers have worked at the AMECEA or the Eastern Africa level of which Tanzania is a significant part. During these past 50 years the number of Maryknollers who have served at the national or regional level are impressive: two bishops, 28 priests, one Brother, 11 Sisters, two lay associates and one lay affiliate.

Proposed East African Margin Studies Geotrack International, world leaders in quantitative Thermal history Reconstruction Well information and more regional background information have been http://www.geotrack.com.au/studies/eafrica.htm
Extractions: Although some models for petroleum systems for the region have been in the public domain for many years, none has been underpinned by firm constraints on the thermal history, using such specialist techniques as AFTA (Apatite Fission Track Analysis), and U-Th/He dating. Other important complementary techniques are VR (vitrinite reflectance) and fluid inclusion data. Integration of these new constraints with current basin models and local geological knowledge will be key to refining petroleum systems for the prediction of commercial petroleum occurrences. Despite the uncertainties facing frontier exploration around the world, strong enthusiasm for portions of the east margin of Africa is driven by the presence of prolific high-quality reservoirs and potential world-class source rocks.

Extractions: Tanzania, Kagera Region, epicentre of AIDS 15 years ago: Present situation By Dr. Marc Deru Summary Partage Tanzania While the experts, with their statistics, would have one believe that there exists an extremely serious HIV/AIDS epidemic, no trace of an epidemic is observable in the field. All that can be seen is a very poor, under-nourished population suffering from malaria, endemic immunodeficiency and common illnesses. In order to provide effective help to Africa, the priority should be given to the eradication of the overly great poverty which exists there. This past summer, I had the opportunity of spending two and a half months in the Kagera Region of Tanzania. Along with the Rakai district of Uganda, this region was considered, some 15 years ago, as the epicentre of AIDS in Africa. I was based in town, in Bukoba, but often roamed about in the bush, visiting and sometimes lodging in the 21 villages of the rural district of Bukoba covered by the French NGO, Partage Tanzania , an area with approximately 70,000 inhabitants.

Extractions: Reference Desk Sponsored Links TripAdvisor Encyclopedia Uganda Around 500 B.C. , Bantu-speaking people migrated into SW Uganda from the west. By the 14th cent. they were organized in several kingdoms (known as the Cwezi states), which had been established by the Hima. Around 1500, Nilotic-speaking Luo people from present-day SE Sudan settled the Cwezi states and established the Bito dynasties of Buganda (in some Bantu languages, the prefix Bu means state; thus, Buganda During the 16th and 17th cent., Bunyoro was the leading state of S Uganda, controlling an area that stretched into present-day Rwanda and Tanzania. From about 1700, Buganda began to expand (largely at the expense of Bunyoro), and by 1800 it controlled a large territory bordering Lake Victoria from the Victoria Nile to the Kagera River. Buganda was centrally organized under the kabaka (king), who appointed regional administrators and maintained a large bureaucracy and a powerful army. The Baganda raided widely for cattle, ivory, and slaves. In the 1840s Muslim traders from the Indian Ocean coast reached Buganda, and they exchanged firearms, cloth, and beads for the ivory and slaves of Buganda. Beginning in 1869, Bunyoro, ruled by Kabarega and using guns obtained from traders from Khartoum, challenged Buganda's ascendancy. By the mid-1880s, however, Buganda again dominated S Uganda.
