Print this page Annual Report Dakar, regional delegation (Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Senegal) IN 1994 THE ICRC: - visited 32 detainees in Gambia; - visited 14 detainees in Guinea-Bissau; - visited 64 detainees in Mali. Introduction The main concerns of the ICRC in this region were the political instability in Gambia, where the government was overthrown in July and an unsuccessful coup took place in November, disturbances and arrests in Senegal, and the deterioration of the situation in northern Mali. The regional delegation pursued its activities aimed at supporting the National Societies of the region and disseminating humanitarian law. In January a regional workshop was held in Dakar to present a training programme in humanitarian law to the armed forces of West Africa. Nearly 40 officers from Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Senegal attended. The regional delegation also organized a seminar in Bamako (Mali) in June for the security and police forces of ten French- and Portuguese-speaking West African countries. The programme covered the application of humanitarian law, human rights and the maintenance of law and order. Another seminar was held in Dakar in July for the Presidents and Secretaries General of the National Societies of Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Senegal. CAPE VERDE GAMBIA GUINEA-BISSAU MALI ... SENEGAL CAPE VERDE The situation in Cape Verde remained calm in 1994. The ICRC helped the Red Cross of Cape Verde complete its radio network, thus enabling the National Society's branches on all major islands to communicate by HF radio with its headquarters and with the ICRC regional delegation in Dakar.

Home REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA, MR THABO MBEKI, AT THE STATE BANQUET, Bamako, Mali, 2 November 2001 Your Excellency, President Konare, Your Excellencies: Prime Minister Mande Sidibe, Ministers, High Commissioner of the District of Bamako, Mr Ismail Cisse, Mayor of Bamako, Mr Ibrahima N'Diaye, Esteemed guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is our privilege and honour to be here this evening. On behalf of the people of South Africa, I would like to express our pleasure at having been invited to visit your country. Since our arrival in Mali, we have been overwhelmed by the warmth of Malian hospitality, so much so that we feel we are truly among friends. Our visit is both to renew and consolidate our ties and friendship. In a sense, we are on a pilgrimage to this ancient place, to this home of some of the greatest leaders of Africa and strongest empires of our rich African history. We are here to pay homage to these centres of spiritual, intellectual and commercial excellence that gave birth to great scholars, artists, poets, philosophers, traders, entrepreneurs and through their exemplary work, shaped Africa of the past. I am sure that everyone in my delegation is truly humbled to be in a fellow African country that has made these immeasurable contributions to the advances, not only of Africans, but also of the rest of humanity.

Governing globalization: Labour economic paradigms and international labour standards at the International Labour Organisation, 1919-1998 Oliver Liang International Labour Office The establishment in 1919 of the International Labour Organization and its secretariat, the International Labour Office, marked the beginning of an important globalization process Ë the establishment of international institution to deal with labour affairs, as well as the dawning consciousness that the very process of globalization would entail profound social changes which such an institution needed to address. There are numerous ways of approaching the history of such a large institution with such a broad mandate. This paper attempts to provide an overview of ILO history by examining the general labour economic paradigms which arose out of the discussion on setting international labour standards, one of the chief functions of the ILO. Thomas, the French Armaments Minister during World War I, and his assistant, Edward Phelan, a former official of the British Labour Departments Intelligence Division, were both personally aware of the importance of social peace for national economic efficiency and national defense.

Stanford, California, Stanford University Press, 1996. xviii, 381 pp. $55.00 U.S. In part, the failure was simply bad planning. The French conquerors of the Soudan were struck by the omnipresence of cotton. Most peasants cultivated some cotton and most cloth was woven locally. Nevertheless, the areas where the textile industry were centred were not ideal areas for cotton production and could not compete with areas like the United States or Egypt. Rainfall was too irregular and the season was too short. Yields were too low. The French also were divided deeply on how to proceed. One group wanted irrigation and European-controlled plantations. Another had more faith in the market and peasant production. The latter group soon looked to the better-watered southern tier of the Soudan, which today produces most of Mali's cotton exports.

The UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance, initiated in November 1996, guides respective activities. The primary objective of the working group is to strengthen national, regional and global structures and networks for improved monitoring and surveillance of HIV/AIDS and STIs.

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.
