In this issue of Africa Update we include a few abstracts from the Second Annual Conference of African Studies, CCSU, on November 18th 1995. We are grateful to all those who made the conference possible, including Prof. Ade Obayemi , former Director General of the Nigerian National Commission for Museums and Monuments and the Chief Editor of African Technology Forum, MIT, Mawuli Tse, who gave the Plenary Address. Dr. Tunde Zack-Williams of Central Lancashire University, Dr. Stacey Close of ECSU, Dr. Eudora Chikwendu of SUNY, and Dr. Harvey Feinberg of SCSU served as chairpersons and discussants along with Dr. Walton Brown-Foster, Dr. Peter Os ei, Dr.Timothy Rickard, Dr. Haines Brown, Prof. Sheri Fafunwa-Ndibe and Dr. Gabriel Alungbe. We extend special thanks to Ms Lisa-Marie Fellage for her valuable assistance. Without the support of Dean Clarke of Arts and Sciences and CCSU's financial help, this conference would not have been possible.

African People Are Incapable
Of Migration
by Keith W. Jones
African people are incapable of migration. That is an idea that many scholars would still like to have us people of African descent believe. I find it disappointing that even today, as we transition to a new millennium, this concept is still being pushed, taught, and written about.
The static African concept, as I call it, is implied in our literature, newspapers, and cinema, and is disseminated during television broadcasts. One possible result of this concept is that, being incapable of movement might be linked to being incapable of accomplishment. That is, if one cannot think well enough to move from one location to a better location, even though all of his or her muscles are fully functional, then how can one possibly think well enough to develop technology, which will make life easier for himself or herself.
I believe that what is most psychologically damaging, though, for people of African descent, are the Eurocentric and ethnocentric falsehoods still disseminated in most of the textbooks used in schools today, by our children and young adults.
Put another way, when African American children and young adults go to school, they still are taught and they still read about untruths regarding the lack of scientific, intellectual, and technological accomplishments made by people of African descent. These untruths are in addition to what these young people are learning about the so-called mental and intellectual inferiority of African peoples to other ethnic groups. However, I am getting ahead of myself.

Introduction
In 2001 Nigeria's estimated population was 126,635,626, yielding an average density of 137 persons per sq km (355 per sq mi). At the last census, in 1991, the population was pegged at 88.5 million.
With a birth rate of 39.7 per 1,000 and a death rate of 13.9 per 1,000, Nigeria's population is growing at an average of 3 percent annually. The average Nigerian woman gives birth six times in her lifetime, although among more educated women the rate is somewhat lower. Nearly half of Nigerians are younger than 15 years. By 2025 the population is projected to grow to 204 million, nearly double the current size.
The highest population densities are in the Igbo heartland in southeastern Nigeria, despite poor soils and heavy emigration. The intensively farmed zones around and including several major Hausa cities especially Kano, Sokoto, and Zaria in the north are also packed with people. Other areas of high density include Yorubaland in the southwest, the central Jos Plateau, and the Tiv homeland in Benue State in the south central region. Densities are relatively low in the dry northeast and in most parts of the middle belt. Ecological factors, including the prevalence of diseases such as sleeping sickness, carried by the tse-tse fly, and historical factors, especially the legacy of pre-colonial slave raiding, help explain these low densities.

By John Simpson
BBC world affairs editor
If you know anything about the quiet Southern African country of Botswana, the chances are that it will chiefly be because you have read the delightful novels of Alexander McCall Smith.
Bushmen are fighting to remain in their Kalahari reserve Botswana is indeed one of the most pleasant and successful countries in Africa. But two important cases which will come before the courts in the capital, Gaborone, next week will hint at the direction Botswana is taking. And many people around the world may feel anxious as a result. Read John Simpson's previous columns The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana is a vast, arid, yet immensely rich area, which for tens of thousands of years has been one of the chief hunting-grounds in southern Africa for the Bushmen. They are small, hardy, intelligent and gentle people, who have eked out a life for themselves while the rest of humanity developed along completely different lines.

Core Map B - PDF (2 pages) Notes on Core Map A 1885 was a crucial year for European imperialism in Africa as it marks the year of the Berlin Conference (also see Key Terms). It is important to note that no actual divisions of territory took place at the conference, but it instead served as a watershed for the partition that largely took place from 1885-1900 (with a few changes after World War I). Jeffery Stone articulates this point in A Short History of the Cartography of Africa, page 68: This conference has been seen erroneously as launching the partition of Africa among the European powers. In fact, historians have long been at pains to emphasize that it did not carve up Africa. It was convened because the collaborative arrangements on which Europeans states had hitherto relied were beginning to break down. The objective of the conference was the continued commercial access by European powers to the resources of Africa. The intention was to regulate European rivalries, not to partition Africa. The Berlin Conference failed in its attempt to curb the impending partition of Africa, but recognition of the conference as a meeting of imperialists, not colonialists and the recognition of differing attributes of imperialism and colonialism is important for understanding the cartographic evolution of Africa.

Edited by: Carl Skutsch here was a time when minority populations around the globe were often overlooked, their histories forgotten, their needs ignored. With globalization and conflict, social and political changes in the last decades has given rise to the need to understand the world's minorities, the diversity they represent, the challenges they face, the modes of coexistence that have evolved and the frictions that must be addressed. This resource is a three-volume, A-Z encyclopedia, with some 600 essay entries that provides a quick and clearly-written introduction to minority groups and the themes and concepts that help students understand the issues. Entries, ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 words, fall into four main categories for ease of use. Each entry is followed by a list of selected futher readings. The four categories are: Minority entries; Topic entries; Biographical entires; and Country entries.

INTRODUCTION

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).

Omrie Golley, the RUF's legal spokesman, told IRIN that ECOMOG helicopter gunships fired on RUF troops in Magbas, near Magburaka, some 150 km northeast of Freetown and, in the east of the country, near the Tongo-Moyamba junction. ECOMOG spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Chris Olukulade told IRIN ECOMOG troops had come under "a massive rebel attack around Magburaka between two and five o'clock this morning". He said troops along the main highway between Freetown and the eastern town of Kenema had also come under rebel attack. The ceasefire came into effect on Monday.

Sudan The Muslim Peoples

Sources: The Library of Congress Country Studies; CIA World Factbook
    Back to Sudan Society In the early 1990s, the largest single category among the Muslim peoples consisted of those speaking some form of Arabic. Excluded were a small number of Arabic speakers originating in Egypt and professing Coptic Christianity. In 1983 the people identified as Arabs constituted nearly 40 percent of the total Sudanese population and nearly 55 percent of the population of the northern provinces. In some of these provinces (Al Khartum, Ash Shamali, Al Awsat), they were overwhelmingly dominant. In others (Kurdufan, Darfur), they were less so but made up a majority. By 1990 Ash Sharqi State was probably largely Arab. It should be emphasized, however, that the acquisition of Arabic as a second language did not necessarily lead to the assumption of Arab identity. Despite common language, religion, and self-identification, Arabs did not constitute a cohesive group. They were highly differentiated in their modes of livelihood and ways of life. Besides the major distinction dividing Arabs into sedentary and nomadic, there was an old tradition that assigned them to tribes, each said to have a common ancestor.

West African Kingdoms 500-1590: Religion and Philosophy History Study Guide
Overview Historiographical Context. Rejecting Classifications. The Rise of Christian Europe (1965), "Undergraduates, seduced, as always, by the changing breath of journalistic fashion, demand that they should be taught the history of black Africa. Perhaps, in the future there will be some African history to teach. But at present there is none, or very little: there is only the history of Europeans in Africa. The rest is darkness . . . and darkness is not a subject of history." Views such as this one are the result of too much reliance on Arabic and European sources and not enough primary research in West African sources. By the final decades of the twentieth century, historians and archaeologists had learned much about the complex civilizations that existed in West Africa between 500 and 1590, cultures whose religious and philosophical traditions have deep indigenous roots.

Islam in Sudan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sudan is a religiously mixed country, although Muslims have dominated national government institutions since independence in . Accurate figures are unavailable due to poor census data and the last 2 decades of civil war, but most estimates put the Muslim population at approximately 65 percent, including numerous Arab and non-Arab groups; Christians at approximately 10 percent; and traditionalists at 25 percent. Muslims predominate in the north, but there are sizable Christian communities in northern cities, principally in areas where there are large numbers of internally displaced persons. It is estimated that over the last 40 years, more than 4 million southerners have fled to the north to escape the war. Most citizens in the south adhere to either Christianity or traditional indigenous religions (animists); however, there are some Muslim adherents as well, particularly along the historical dividing line between Arabs and Nilotic ethnic groups. The Muslim population is almost entirely Sunni but is divided into many different groups. The most significant divisions occur along the lines of the
