Cotonou, Country information History Also in this section Geo graphy Government Economy History Pre-Colonial (1600-1900) From approximately 1300-1600, three major migratory movements took place resulting in the population of the area now known as Benin. The first was the movement of the Yoruba people from Nigeria; second was the movement of the Ashanti people from Ghana; and the third, and most significant for the history of Benin, was the movement of the "Alladahanou" people from Tado, in the south-east of what is now Togo. This group, led by three brothers, initially settled in Allada. While the oldest brother became the king of Allada, the others left around 1625 and established two other kingdoms: one in what is now Porto Novo and one near Abomey. Around 1645, the Abomey kingdom conquered the neighboring kingdom of Dan and thus became known as "Dahomey," which means "in the belly of Dan" in Fon. The king of Dahomey at this time, Houegbadja, declared that the kingdom would continue to grow larger with each successive generation, for each king would leave his successor more land than he inherited. As a result, the people of Dahomey fought to expand their territory, and each king built a new palace near his predecessor's, producing a series of palaces in the city of Abomey. In 1724, Dahomey conquered the kingdom of Allada , and in 1727 they conquered Savi, on the coast near Ouidah.

Africa : Benin Benin History The history of Benin is indistinguishable from that of the entire area of West Africa until the early part of the 17th century. Up until this time, the area had been divided into numerous principalities. It just takes one bad apple to spoil it for the rest of them, however, and in Benin's case a chief had a row with his brother and moved to Abomey before conquering the neighbouring kingdom of Dan, which became known as Dahomey (Fon for 'in Dan's belly'). He then made a pledge - repeated by each successive king - to leave more land than he inherited. Not surprisingly, this policy led to war after war, and a particularly bad relationship with the powerful Yoruba of Nigeria. Of course, wherever there was a good fight, Europeans were never far behind, and the Portuguese and others began establishing trade posts at Porto Novo and Ouidah. The Dahomey traded with the Europeans; the hot item was prisoners of war sold into slavery in return for guns. For well over a century, an average of 10,000 slaves a year were shipped to the Americas, primarily Brazil and the Caribbean and particularly Haiti, exporting their knowledge and practice of voodoo. Benin had become perhaps the most beaten track by Europeans in Africa, and southern Benin had the dubious honour of being dubbed 'the Slave Coast'. In the 1800s the French sashayed in and gained control of the coast, making the kingdom of Dahomey part of French West Africa. Named the 'Latin Quarter of West Africa', Dahomey became famous over the next century for its educated elite, employed as regional advisors. This education process backfired on the French; the locals became vocal and began agitating for equality. They even published a newspaper critical of the French.

HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT Long before colonial rule, the peoples of Nigeria had established their own indigenous system of government. The various ethnic groups in Nigeria had different patterns of government. The Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba in particular had each established political systems that were distinct. Evidence of contact between the peoples on the northern part of Africa and Nigerians can be found in the legends of some ethnic groups. The Hausas, for example, 'have a legend which traces their ancestry to migrants from the Far-east. So also does a Yoruba legend. One can assume that as the Sahara began to desiccate, some of the groups who lived in what was changing into an inhospitable region moved out. The few who probably moved south into what became Nigeria would in turn displace those already living there, forcing the latter to repeat the process elsewhere. The Benin Empire Kanem-Borno Empire Hausa States To the West of the Kanem Borrio empire, were Hausa states. The Hausa legend of a common origin also idenifies seven of the state - Biramo, Daura, Gobir, Kano, Katsina, Rano and Zauzau - as the oldest, while another seven - Gwari, Yoruba, Kebbi, Kororofa, Zamfara, Nupe and Yauri - are regraded as relatively more recent. The Hausa states were not united until the opening years of the 19th century, although in the 16th century the borders of the Songhai Empire extended to some of the western states. Nevertheless, their geographical position enabled them to thrive and prosper, for they were able to exploit the agricultural potentials of the northern region and to carry on a vigorous, trade with caravans from across the Sahara as well as with the people of Southern Nigeria.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Akin Ogundiran I teach classes in the history, archaeology, and culture of Africa, and in comparative world civilizations. My research and teaching are interdisciplinary, intersecting the traditional boundaries of history, archaeology, and anthropology. Convinced that the historical experience of Africa can be assessed from diverse sources, my pursuit of interdisciplinary approach to cultural historical analysis makes me aware of the many theatres in which history has been and is being produced, (re)enacted, and lived. Research I have conducted research in Nigeria (West Africa), Ethiopia (East Africa), and the United States. In these regions, I have collaborated (Ethiopia and U.S.A.) and initiated (Nigeria) projects on different aspects of African cultural history stretching as far back as 100 A.D. in the case of Aksumite Civilization in Ethiopia, 1200 A.D. for Yoruba civilization in West Africa, and as recent as early 19th century in the case of urban African-American culture in Boston (USA). ultimate goal of the project is to provide insights into the socio-cultural transformations that took place in the Bight of Benin between 1500 and 1900 as a result of the integration of the region into the Atlantic economic system.

The cultural history of Yoruba-Edo region in Nigeria has been the main focus of his research since 1990. The major theme of the research is the articulation of local historical experience in regional and global contexts. He is interested in how historical communities, peoples, and cultural ecumenes responded to, manipulated, and became part of regional and global historical processes (e.g, the Atlantic economy). He is also interested in how the cultural institutions and daily lives of African societies have been transformed as a result of these global/regional encounters. Within the framework of global/regional/local intersections, his archaeological-historical research has been drawn to topics such as migrations, inter-group relations, ethnogenesis, political formation, material culture, and origins and transformations of cultural institutions.

During the 13th century, the indigenous Edo people were run by a group of local chieftains. However, by the 15th century, a single ruler, known as the oba , had asserted control. Under the dynasty established by Ewuare the Great ? the most famous of the obas ? Benin's territory expanded to cover a region between the Niger river delta and what is now the Nigerian city of Lagos. The obas brought great prosperity and a highly organised state to Benin. They also established good relations and an extensive trade (which included slaves) with the Portuguese and Dutch, who arrived from the 15th century onwards.

Tensions in C´te d’Ivoire With two years to go before the presidential elections scheduled for 2000, tension was already mounting in C´te d’Ivoire. The government took a number of steps, including measures strengthening the role of the army in maintaining law and order and giving the Head of State greater powers over the postponement or cancellation of the electoral process. The opposition responded by calling on the civilian population to take to the streets in protest. Meanwhile, the military presence was increased in western C´te d'Ivoire, which is traditionally the focal point for opposition to the government and where some 150,000 Liberians had taken refuge. Guinea affected by Sierra Leone conflict In 1998, Guinea was involved militarily on two fronts. In June, it sent several hundred troops to Guinea-Bissau to help the government deal with the mutineers, [9] and Guinean forces clashed on several occasions with Sierra Leone rebels along the border in Guinea Foresti¨re. The country also experienced internal tensions linked to the presidential elections in December.

Print this page Annual Report Lagos, regional delegation (Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo) Introduction Unrest in Ghana, Nigeria and Togo subsided by the end of 1994, although the root causes of the various political crises remained unresolved. Throughout the year the ICRC's regional delegation in Lagos maintained and strengthened its contacts with the political players in the different contexts. Dissemination of international humanitarian law to security forces remained one of its key activities, with positive developments in all four countries covered. Another priority for the ICRC was to help the region's National Red Cross Societies increase their emergency preparedness. In view of the complexity of the situation in Nigeria, the ICRC decided to make its regional delegation in Lagos responsible for that country alone as from the beginning of 1995, and to transfer responsibility for Benin, Ghana and Togo to the regional delegation in Abidjan. BENIN GHANA NIGERIA TOGO BENIN The ICRC funded and took part in six seminars on the law of war, attended by 120 officers and 60 non-commissioned officers from the Benin armed forces, the gendarmerie and the police.

The Benin armed forces expressed their support for the ICRC in its attempts to obtain legislative protection for the red cross emblem.

It managed to outlast every other Hellenic kingdom in the East by over a century, finally succumbing to Scythian invaders in 50 BCE. Badakhshan Bahia, Republic of - In November of 1837, a cabal of discontented army officers and civilian radicals under the leadership of Francisco Sabino took the city of Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. The revolutionary forces, which became known as the Sabinada, were flooded with mulatto and black volunteers. As these new recruits began agitating for the adoption of their own goals, the Sabinada quickly adopted a strong anti-slavery posture. While the onset of the winter rains prevented campaigning, many of Salvador's landowning aristocracy fled to the hinterlands around the mouth of the Amazon and recruited a mercenary force. A fleet of Brazilian warships also began a blockade of Salvador's harbor. The seige began in earnest in March of 1838, and Sabinada defenses cracked in less than four days. Several hundred Sabinada members, including Sabino, were executed for treason. Baja California see also Lower California th century, and supported them as fellow resisters of U.S. hegemony.
