I've recommended a few outstanding pages, but otherwise you're on your own. The division into broad geographical areas is sometimes a little rough and ready. For example, rather than making a separate section for something like "South-Western Asia", I've placed Armenia in the "Middle East" section. If any geographer can suggest a better (but simple) scheme, I'm willing to listen. (For a listing of the world's Universities on the Internet, see Christina DeMello 's page.

Regional Training Course 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.

myTitle = "ssatitle" Brief history of IPGRI in sub-Saharan Africa The first IPGRI (then IBPGR-International Board for Plant Genetic Resources) office was established in West Africa in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in 1981. It was later moved to Niamey, Niger in l987 and given responsibility for West and Central Africa, with a single scientist. The Nairobi office was established in 1982 with, at that time, responsibility for Eastern and Southern Africa. One scientist also originally ran it. At this time IPGRI (IBPGR) was a field programme of the FAO and the initial emphasis of the work in sub-Saharan Africa was assistance to national programme in procurement and development of conservation facilities; collection of germplasm through both local and international missions and training of national programme staff in plant genetic resources conservation and use mainly at the University of Birmingham through fellowships provided by UNEP and FAO . Because of the urgent need to rescue germplasm from a multiplicity of threats IBPGR (IPGRI) located one collector in the LAC region and was based at IRAZ in Burundi while another collector was based in Harare Zimbabwe to facilitate germplasm collection in the Southern Africa region. After an internal re-organisation and the establishment of IPGRI as an independent CGIAR institute, the sub-Saharan Africa Group was established, with a main office in Nairobi. The office had four staff members (2 IRS and 2 LRS) and a sub-office for West and Central Africa in Niamey with two staff members (1 IRS and 1 LRS, the latter on a special project). This latter office was relocated to Cotonou, Benin in June 1996.

95. Progress Toward Poliomyelitis Eradication -- African Region, 1997 The network supports 31 countries in the region. Seven countries (benin, Chad, vaccination history, with an interval of 46 weeks between doses. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00051777.htm

Progress Toward Poliomyelitis Eradication African Region, 1997 In 1988, the World Health Assembly established the goal of eradicating poliomyelitis worldwide by 2000 (1). To achieve this goal, the World Health Organization (WHO) promotes the implementation of specific strategies (2,3). Eradicating polio from the African continent is one of the remaining major challenges to achieving global eradication by the target date. This report summarizes progress in the African Region of WHO in 1997 with the implementation of polio eradication strategies, and suggests that polio eradication by 2000 remains a feasible target. During 1997 and the first quarter of 1998, a total of 36 countries in the region conducted National Immunization Days (NIDs) * ( ). These were the first NIDs for seven countries (Burundi, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, and Senegal). Because of political instability, NIDs could not be conducted in Liberia, Republic of Congo, and Sierra Leone. Vaccination coverage was reported at greater than or equal to 80% for both rounds in all countries except Central African Republic (81% and 73%), Gabon (78% and 82%), Kenya (76% and 80%), Lesotho (67% and 65%), Mozambique (65% and 75%), Nigeria (72% and 91%), Rwanda (73%, first round results only), and South Africa (81% and 76%) ( ). DR Congo conducted Subnational Immunization Days (SNIDs) ** in 47 cities (25% of the total population); coverage was greater than 85% for both rounds.

96. The Head Heeb: Yet Another Border Dispute At issue in the beninNiger case is the island of Lété, an area of some 60 but when combined with ethno-regional politics the familiar problems arise. http://headheeb.blogmosis.com/archives/018853.html

The Head Heeb « Moving forward Main Plea bargaining » December 06, 2003 Yet another border dispute The Bakassi controversy and the recently concluded Sedudu Island case , the court has agreed to determine the Guinea-Sierra Leone border and resolve the frontier between Niger and Benin . Preliminary arguments in the latter case were heard two weeks ago Like many African frontier disputes, the controversy between Benin and Niger involves an island. When the colonial powers drew Africa's modern borders, they used rivers as demarcation lines, but often neglected to make provision for ownership of riverine islands or flood stages. Since people on both sides of the border have often made historic use of such islands, bitter and long-standing disputes have erupted as to which nation can claim sovereignty. At issue in the Benin-Niger case is the island of Lété , an area of some 60 square kilometers lying in the Niger River. As the Beninois foreign minister stated during oral pleadings , Lété is "where the nomadic peoples of Niger encounter the sedentary inhabitants of Benin," and has historically been used by both. When the two countries became independent in 1960, the outgoing French colonial authorities awarded it to Niger, but this has not been accepted by Benin and has never been ratified by an international instrument. In 1965, Benin and Niger signed the so-called Yamoussoukro Agreement providing for "joint exploitation of the island pending a final accord," but no such treaty was ever concluded. In the meantime, both countries have attempted to administer the island, leading to a May 2000 incident in which Niger troops destroyed a Beninois administrative building.

Yet Unilag officials, including muslims, were asking whether the new Fordham priest-lecturers had come for the pastoral care of the Catholic students. The two faculty member, Frs. Schuh and Schuyler, did offer Mass for a small number of Catholic students, and the archbishop gave his approval to establish a chaplaincy. In those first few years, when the university population was small, the two Jesuits taught more than 50% of all students, mostly in law, business, and medicine, and thus had tremendous contact with the student body, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. In 1968, Fr. Schuyler began chaplaincy work at the School of Nursing at LUTH (Lagos University Teaching Hospital). That involved three Masses on Sunday, daily Masses, and pastoral care for thousands of students. Eventually, Catholics and Protestants on the university campus agreed to share in building a chapel. The cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on May 1, 1976, but the chapel, Christ Our Light, was only ready for use in 1984. Since then it has been used for Sunday and daily liturgies. The main assembly area holds 900, and the side chapel seats 175.

Sierra Leone and Togo . In addition, the region is sometimes considered to include Cape Verde Chad Equatorial Guinea Gabon ... S£o Tom© and Pr­ncipe , and Western Sahara West Africa is an area with a great span of geography, bioregions, and cultures. It is oriented west of an imagined north-south axis, principally on what is known as the Bulge of Africa . The Atlantic Ocean forms the western and southern borders of the region. The northern border is the Sahara Desert , with the Niger Bend generally considered the northernmost part of the region. The eastern border is less precise, with some placing it at the Benue Trough , and others on a line running from Mount Cameroon to Lake Chad Colonial boundaries are reflected in the modern boundaries between contemporary West African nations, cutting across ethnic and cultural lines, often dividing single ethnic groups between two or more countries.

Issues in African History Professor James Giblin, Department of History, The University of Iowa Like the art of all peoples, the art of Africans expresses values, attitudes, and thought which are the products of their past experience. For that reason, the study of their art provides a way of learning about their history. Through the study of African art we can study the questions which have long preoccupied historians of Africa. This essay written by a historian who studies the African past presents an introduction to these questions. Its purpose is to encourage students to use their knowledge of African art to think about issues in African history. As students of African art begin to consider the African past, they must also consider how Western conceptions of "race" and "racial" difference have influenced our notions of the African past. These ideas, which have usually contrasted the presumed inferiority of black peoples with the superiority of whites, arose in Western societies as Europeans sought to justify their enslavement of Africans and the subsequent colonization of Africa. Historians now recognize that ideas of racial inferiority have inspired the belief that in the past African peoples lived in a state of primitive barbarism. At the same time, they have realized that many of the European writings which they use to reconstruct the African past such as accounts by nineteenth-century missionaries and travelers, for example are themselves tainted by these same notions of African inferiority.
