IPACC - Indigenous Peoples Of Africa Coordinating Committee Hawe BOUBA, Mbororo, Cameroon, Gender, Central africa. Regional Review.The indigenous peoples of Central africa are forestbased hunter-foragers known http://www.ipacc.org.za/centralafrica.asp
Extractions: Central African Republic, Uganda Regional Representatives: Vital BAMBANZE Batwa, Burundi Central Africa Colette MIKILA D.R. Congo Deputy, Central Africa Hawe BOUBA Mbororo, Cameroon Gender, Central Africa Regional Review: During the precolonial era, Bantu speaking peoples took over parts of the Pygmy territories. Under the Tutsi kings, some Batwa Pygmies served in the court as entertainers, potters and even as Royal bodyguards. During the colonial and postcolonial periods most Pygmies were ignored during state formation and economically marginalised. Due to the absence of birth certificates, Pygmies in some countries were not considered to be real citizens. Post-independence economic policies have tended to assume that development requires villagisation and sedenterisation. Across Central Africa a major concern is deforestation from logging. Private companies negotiate concessions where they are meant to do selective cutting but African governments cannot always monitor what happens in remote areas, and the results can be devastating to the environment and the forest peoples. The destruction of the forest canopy has a radical impact on the environment, leading a rapid loss of biodiversity and also endangering the lungs of the planet (See Virtanen, P et al (2002) Sustainable Forest Management. Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs). A major effort is being made by Western and African countries to slow down the devastation in the Congo Basin, one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. In 2002, Gabon declared 13 national parks, including the vast Minkebe National Park. IPACC conducted a month long mission to Gabon visiting Pygmy communities to encourage them to enter into dialogue with government over the regulations relating to hunting, occupation and traditional practices in Parks and the periphery. (See Gabon section here). Baka Pygmies are also involved in WWF initiatives at Dzanga Sanga National Park in the Central African Republic. Newly formed Pygmy associations have been established in Cameroon but require organisational capacity support.

Extractions: GENEVA, Aug 9 (IPS) - Abuses against indigenous or other minority women, referred to merely as ''double discrimination'' by experts and activists, has not yet been understood in its full dimension. Although both men and women belonging to ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples suffer discrimination, it is women who do so in a multi-pronged fashion, argue Fareda Banda and Christine Chinkin, researchers with the Minority Rights Group (MRG), an international organisation based in Britain. ''Sexual violence of nearly epidemic proportions and multiple forms of discrimination against minority and indigenous women could be better prevented,'' say the experts.

Extractions: TRANSCRIPT Conflict and unrest continue to haunt the Central African nation of Zaire and its neighbors. Charlayne Hunter-Gault re-examines the centuries-old causes of the violence. CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: The crisis began last October when rebels in Eastern Zaire launched a military campaign aimed at ousting Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator who has ruled Zaire with an iron fist for the past 30 years. The ever-deepening crisis took a turn today when the government rejected a cease-fire with the Tutsi-dominated rebels and launched air raids that killed six and wounded at least twenty people. This was the first bombing attack against the rebels since they launched their military campaign. Mobutu, ailing with advanced cancer, has retreated to an isolated jungle hide-away in the northern village of Gbadolite and from there has accused the rebels of fighting a proxy war on behalf of the Tutsi-led governments of neighboring Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda. Last week, the U.N. accused Mobutus government of arming exiled Hutu hard-liners. The action is in the Eastern part of the country. There, the conflict is intertwined with the Hutu-Tutsi conflict in neighboring Rwanda. In Zaire, rebel leader Laurent Kabila, a shadowy figure of uncertain ethnicity, and his Tutsi-dominated forces have carried out a startling four-month offensive that has swept across Eastern Zaire and captured an area the size of the U.S. Eastern seaboard from New York to Atlanta. And while the advance has slowed in recent days, the rebels are pressing on toward their two main targets, the Southern mining center of Lubumbashi and Kisangani, the commercial hub of Northern Zaire. The loss of these areas could bring down the government.

Extractions: home contact action theory ... our history related articles Self-determination and Kosova 'Left Trotskyism' and imperialism Weekly Worker 491 Thursday July 31 2003 This book, whose secondary title is Colonialism, nativism and the genocide in Rwanda , contains a wealth of information and analysis on the subject of what should be one of the most notorious events of the 20th century. The author is of a Marxist background, a long-standing contributor to the American Monthly Review journal, and the writer of several books on subjects relating to the politics of Africa. He is an African studies professor at Columbia University in New York , formerly of Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. The death of at least 850,000 people, possibly a million, in 1994 in Rwanda is an event in some ways more shocking in its apparent implications than even the Nazi holocaust. For, though Hitlers genocide of the Jewish people had considerably more victims, the actual number of perpetrators was comparatively small; it was carried out by a bureaucratic-military machine without mass involvement. In Rwanda, conversely, the act of killing ones neighbour or even in some cases members of ones own family was a mass phenomenon. As the publishers note, the author explains why the slaughter in Rwanda was performed by hundreds of thousands of ordinary citizens, including even judges, human rights activists, doctors, nurses, priests, friends and spouses of the victims (cover).

Extractions: When President Bill Clinton visited the small central African country of Rwanda in late March 1998, he used the word "genocide" to describe the murderous events that took the lives of some 500,000 people four years earlier. The 1994 Rwandan conflict has its roots not in simmering "tribal hatreds" but in a colonial and post-colonial political and economic order that politicized differences among ethnic groups to allow one group (Tutsis) more power over others (Hutu and Twa primarily). Burundi, and Tanzania.

Extractions: For more than a generation, Canadian writers of all backgrounds have been exploring Africa. The transatlantic traffic in ideas and books has never been richer. When writer Ken Wiwa stares outside his office window in search of inspiration, he sees an empty white space like a blank sheet of paper - the snow-covered quadrangle of Massey College at the University of Toronto. "It's hard to imagine Africa," he says. Yet that is what Wiwa, an accomplished non-fiction writer and columnist for The Globe and Mail , is currently trying to do: develop his first novel, an exploration of tribal memory and dislocation set amid the brilliant tropical sunshine, the honking and shouting cacophony, the pollution, exuberance and heat of his family's native Nigeria. "I'm consistently finding that reports of Africa in the Canadian news media are all about issues, about trouble," says Wiwa. "It makes you wary of Africa." And yet, he points out, a recent British poll found that Nigerians rated themselves as the world's happiest people. "The troubles are real enough, but from the outside, it's hard to get Africa's complexity right." Nevertheless, a surprising number of Canadian writers have attempted to do just that - some of them with considerable success.

Extractions: This draft document was prepared by a group of African scholars from Ethno-Net Africa (ENA) as a reflection paper related to issues being discussed at the Durban World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Intolerance. Ethno-Net is a multi-disciplinary research network created to identify and analyze causes of ethnic conflicts in Africa, monitor these as part of an early warning system, and seek possible solutions. The network also looks at ways of promoting ethnic conviviality. Participants at the workshop noted various points and some key issues regarding racism, ethnic exclusion, xenophobia and the various other forms of discrimination and intolerance relevant to the African context. These points are presented in this draft document. The document also presents some background information on ENA's programme. The purpose is to use the opportunity offered during the World Conference in Durban to inter-act with NGO's and various other groups to explore ways to enable Ethno-Net to network with other institutions. Again the idea is to consider specific areas for the follow up of the implementation of the Plan of Action to be adopted by the Durban Conference. This draft paper will be further enriched with results of the Proceedings, at the Durban World Conference.
