Extractions: Subjects: Abstract: The most worrisome aspect of Ghana's fifteen years of market liberalization reforms is the failure of domestic private business to respond enthusiastically with increased investment. Have domestic private entrepreneurs failed to respond because of their own innate weaknesses as popularly believed in official circles? Do they have genuine concerns that are yet to be addressed? This study focuses on the preconditions for the success of market reforms. The study utilizes survey data to demonstrate that domestic private entrepreneurs in Ghana are not positively responding to Ghana's Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) because they still perceive the existing institutional environment as uncertain. If regime leaders in Ghana and in other African countries wish to ensure sustained development through market reforms, they must address the issue of improving and maintaining institutional credibility.

The World Conference was organized by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Some 3,000 accredited NGO representatives went to Durban to tell the world about their struggles and the injustice suffered by their constituencies. Over 1,000 accredited media representatives were present to cover the Conference, which was preceded by a Youth Summit from 26-27 August and an NGO Forum from 28 August to 1 September in the same city. In opening the World Conference, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan acknowledged the symbolic significance of holding the World Conference in post-apartheid South Africa. Who better to teach the international community to overcome racism, discrimination and intolerance than the people of South Africa? he asked. South African President Thabo Mbeki said that the many people of the world struggling against indignity and humiliation because they were not white expected the outcome of the World Conference to signify a sustained global drive to help rid them of their suffering. South African Foreign Minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, President of the Conference, added that there should be a sustained Programme of Action that all countries could implement at every level.

Reyntjens, who teaches at the University of Antwerp, played an important role in the prosecution's work as recently as last September when he testified in the court against Theoneste Bagosora, accused of being the most important mastermind behind the nationwide organization of the 1994 genocide. (Reyntjens did, however, say in that tesgimony that Bagosora's co-accused, Gratien Kabiligi, had played no part in organizing the killings.) According to the Fondation Hirondelle report linked to above, Reyntjens sent a letter to ICTR Chief prosecutor Hassan Jallow in which he wrote that,

On Sunday, I wrote how much I was learning from a book about Britain's shockingly repressive end-of-empire counter-insurgency in Kenya, Caroline Elkins's Imperial Reckoning . One commenter noted there had later been a letter to the NY Review of Books that had questioned some of Elkins' use of her sources. Today, by chance I picked up an old issue of the NYRB, and there was the letter . It was from David Elstein, who is not a historian of Africa or even, it seems, any kind of expert on matters African. He's a TV producer. His main criticism was with, as he wrote, the fact that, "She suggests 'hundreds of thousands' of Kikuyu died at British handsperhaps 300,000." (Actually, she did not directly write that. She looked at the census records and noted p.366 that, "If the Kikuyu population figure in 1962 is adjusted using growth rates comparable to other [Kenyan] Africans, we find that somewhere between 130,000 and 300,000 Kikuyu are accounted for." She also quotes, without endorsing, a claim by an Asian-Kenyan attorney who had represented thousands of detainees thaas saying that, By the end I would say there were several hundred thousand killed... One hundred thousand easily, though more like two to three hundred thousand. All these people just never came back when it was over." Her own judgments were that the British counter-insurgency campaign in Kenya, "left tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands dead" (p. xvi); and elsewhere that, "at the very least it is safe to assume that the official [british] figure of some eleven thousand Mau Mau killed is implausible given all that has been discovered."(p.366))

Extractions: Ethnicity denotes an extreme consciousness of and loyalty to a particular linguistic and cultural group unidentified with any other group (Udoh 1998:38). Such groups usually possess myth of origin, traceable to an epical ancestor or ancestress. With a strong ruling house such ethnic groups like the Yoruba, Edo, Fante were able to organize themselves into Empire or Kingdoms, conquering and incorporating other lesser ethnic groups as vassals. With the coming of colonial masters, treaties were signed with such kingdoms wherever they existed; especially during the 17th and 18th centuries (Bradbury et al 1965; Igbafe 1972). Origin of ethnicity in Africa Ethnicity in post-colonial Africa is principally a response to the new social structure the indigenous people found themselves in during the colonial era and at independence. The cultural upbringing is seriously at variance with the social processes of the modern era. Bohannan (1957) speaks of the philosophy of limited good among the Tiv of Nigeria. All goods are communally owned and so the possession of a good by one person is the loss of that good by another. This concept is applicable to every tribe in most circumstances. Ethnic discrimination has its root in the favouritism shown to kin group members as could be seen from the principle of segmentary opposition among the Tiv of Nigeria (Bohannan 1969) or Nuer of Southern Sudan (Evans-Pritchard 1940).

Extractions: Congolese flashpoint Over a year after the overthrow of the dictatorship in Zaire, it is clear that the country (now renamed Congo) is still facing many of the same problems. The most immediate is the threat of ethnic and military unrest in the two eastern provinces, North Kivu and South Kivu. These were the scene of the 1996 uprising that signalled the beginning of the end for President Mobutu. Despite all the speeches about conflict prevention, the crisis is not unexpected. By Kendal Nezan The provinces of North Kivu and South Kivu, bordering onto Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, are part of the East African cultural and economic region and have always felt isolated from Kinshasa, both geographically and psychologically. In the 1920s and 1930s the Belgian colonial authorities took advantage of the demographic differences between what was at the time the mandated territory of Ruanda-Urundi and the Belgian Congo to import Rwandan labour for the Kivu plantations and the mines in Katanga. This relieved the demographic pressure in the overpopulated Rwandan highlands and at the same time provided the colonial power with a labour force which, being made up of immigrants, was easier to manage.

PMag V16n3p09 -- Challenges Of Human Security In Africa The struggle of the Hutus to overcome what they regard as tutsi oppression Failed states pose considerable challenges to the security of people, http://www.peacemagazine.org/archive/v16n3p09.htm
Extractions: From Peace Magazine Jul-Sep 2000, p.9. Author=Abdul Omar; Title=Challenges of Human Security in Africa; URL=http://www.peacemagazine.org/archive/v16n3p09.htm Abdul Omar This article will address the challenges in Africa to the safety of people from violent and non-violent threats. This is "human security" - a concept that extends traditional security thinking. The concept lays emphasis on the security of people, while still recognizing the importance of the security of states and governments. Poor civil-military relations, the politics of exclusion, a weak civil society, and the problem of failed states all represent the challenges of human security. Poor Civil-Military Relations First let us look at the problems generated by poor relations between governments and the military. The military officer has three responsibilities to the state. The first is to provide information to the authorities regarding the minimum security that the state needs while taking into account the capabilities of other states. His second responsibility is to analyze the implications of different state actions. He may highlight actions the state can easily execute based on its military strength, but cannot spell out the most desirable action. His third responsibility is to execute state decisions in the realm of military security, including decisions that are not in line with his military point of view.1 This suggests that the military is subservient to the civilian authorities at the helm of state machinery. In Africa, however, this has not been the case, as often the military not only challenges the civilian democratic authorities, but also assumes their responsibilities. The military in the continent uses a variety of arguments to usurp power from the civilian authorities. These arguments can be generally classified as having their roots either in the "development thesis" or in "the guardian perspective."2
