Furber , June 1997 CASE BACKGROUND ENVIRONMENT ASPECT CONFLICT ASPECT ENVIRONMENT CONFLICT OVERLAP ... RELATED INFORMATION I. CASE BACKGROUND 1. Abstract Recent history of Africa is characterized by conflict. Since 1991, more that 15 African wars have included civil wars in Ethiopia, Sudan, Chad, Liberia, Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa; clan and faction warfare in Somalia; an invasion of Rwanda by armed exiles; ethnic and separatist insurrections in Uganda, Mauritania, Senegal and Morocco; and Tuareg revolts in Niger and Mali. The source of tension is not the same for all conflicts around the Sahara, but the following case suggests that desertification may have something to do with this problem in Niger. The following article will examine the Pulse Model as a historical explanation for tension in Niger, and elaborate on the issue of desertification. 2. Description

Press Release WHO/69 18 October 2000 unprecedented health initiative crosses borders to vaccinate 70 million AFRICAN children against polio Niamey, Niger — Leaders from West and Central Africa have launched the largest public health initiative in the region’s history. Over several days, health workers and hundreds of thousands of volunteers in 17 countries in the region are joining forces to immunize 70 million children against poliomyelitis. The effort is part of the global initiative to eradicate the crippling disease and certify the world polio-free by 2005. "This regional initiative is a model of the integration we are trying to achieve through the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). When the countries of Africa work together, we can accomplish so much," said Mr Alpha Oumar Konare, President of Mali and Chairman of ECOWAS. President Konare joined President Mamadou Tandja of the Republic of Niger for the regional launching ceremony in Karma, a small village near Niamey, Niger’s capital. "In Niger we have worked hard to try to eradicate polio," said President Tandja. "But there is still much to do. We are very proud to now join the entire region in this massive effort to wipe out a disease which has crippled too many of Africa’s children for too long," he stated.

Faculty Home As an art historian who specializes in African art, I have spent two years in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. My research on Ijo (pronounced "Ijaw") nature spirits in the late seventies led me to co-author an exhibition catalogue entitled Wild Spirits, Strong Medicines: African Art and the Wilderness . The exhibition opened at the Center (now Museum) for African Art in New York City in 1989 and subsequently traveled to four other venues. When I returned to Nigeria in the early nineties, I focused my attention on women diviners, who not only stimulate the production of sculpture and masquerades among the Ijo, but also stage elaborate multi-media performances. I have published numerous articles on Ijo art, and am now co-directing an exhibition entitled Ways of the Rivers: Arts and Environment of the Niger Delta . This project, for which I am also co-editing a catalog, examines the complex interactions between art and identity in the multi-ethnic setting of the Niger Delta. The exhibition is scheduled to open at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History at UCLA in the fall of 2000, before traveling to several other

The country can be roughly divided into three zones : the north, center, and the south. The northern zone, covering about two thirds of the surface area, is located within the Sahara. It is an elevated region formed by plateaus and mountains, and with the exception of some isolated oasis, vegetation is rare. The center is part of the Sahel (the Ténéré region). It is a semi-arid region with few trees. The south is the only fertile and wooded region and where it rains enough for food crop farming without irrigation. The southwest is characterized by periodic floods of the River Niger. The climate of Niger is hot, and in most areas, dry and annual precipitation hardly reaches 160 mm, During the two or three months of the rainy season (July-September), it reaches 600 mm north of Niamey, in the Sahel region. In the south, the humid season lasts from June to October and annual rainfall can exceed 800 mm. The annual average temperature in Niamey is 29 degrees centigrade.

Urhobo Historical Society THIS MOMENT IN URHOBO HISTORY An Address at a Grand Reception Held in His Honour by the Urhobo Community in Lagos Tafawa Balewa Square, Saturday, January 22 2005 BY CHIEF JAMES ONANEFE IBORI Governor of Delta State, Nigeria Today marks one of the brightest moments in Urhobo history. It is a day to celebrate the solidarity of the Urhobo people and their fraternity with their host community. The event also symbolizes the resurgence of the spirit of nationalism that has sustained Urhobo identity in Nigeria in the past seven decades. It is appropriate, therefore, to give thanks to Almighty God for all He has done for us, the Urhobo nation and Delta State. The magnificent galaxy of dignitaries present today is a measure of the goodwill which the Urhobo enjoy in their immediate host community of Lagos State and in the larger Nigerian society. I am humbled by gesture of this reception and I would like to express my gratitude for being considered worthy of this honour. I heartily welcome our Chief Host, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Governor of Lagos State, for his generous heart and friendship. I extend my felicitation to all the other Governors, national figures, fellow Deltans and friends of Delta State who are gathered here to share the day with us. I am aware that those who initiated the programme of this reception faced considerable political risk in doing so. At the time the idea was first mooted, the legal storms of my so-called ex-convict saga were still raging in the Abuja High Court. On November 8 last year the tempest brought joyful tidings with my unconditional acquittal by the jury of the Abuja High Court. I would like to salute the organizers of this programme for their stubborn optimism in the face of doubt and uncertainty. Delta State and I are eternally grateful to all those who stood by us throughout the period. Above all, I give thanks to God Almighty for seeing us safely through the gale of that tribulation.

Your browser does not support script Saturday 24 September 2005 Search IRIN Web Special on Nigeria N IGERIA: A History of Conflicts Lagos. Credit: IRIN Nigeria's 120 million people belong to more than 250 distinct ethno-linguistic groups, and are evenly split between Muslims and Christians, while there are also significant numbers of people who follow traditional African religions. Various historical and other factors have spurred conflict between the country's various peoples, especially in modern times. In the pre-colonial era many of the peoples who now make up Nigeria related primarily through trade. It was through trade across the Sahara with North Africa that Islam was introduced to parts of northern Nigeria more than 1,000 years ago. A turning point in Nigerian history came in 1804 when a Fulani preacher, Othman dan Fodio, began a holy war that resulted in the subjugation of the old Hausa city states of northern Nigeria. Having conquered the Hausa, the Fulani adopted their language and merged with their ruling classes to create a Hausa-Fulani ethnic group under the rule of what was now the Sokoto Caliphate. Another major development, this time in the southern coastal and forest region, was the contact with Europeans in the 16th century through trade, mainly in slaves. Colonisation began in the 19th century, when the industrial revolution in Europe spurred interest in agricultural and mineral commodities in the African interior. Along with the colonialists came Christian missionaries who converted large parts of southern Nigeria.

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.

NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD SCHEME PALAVER: FOR THEIR TODAY WE GIVE UP OUR TOMORROW By Ritchie Ejiofor I was totally perplexed at the recent remarks credited to retired general Buhari on the national identity program. This program has been stalled and still birthed so many times that had me wondering out loud rationale behind it. Not until I read the outburst of our ex-military head of state, urging the far north to oppose it’s implementation as predictably to be disastrous for the northern folks who in his words are largely illiterate and would be disenfranchised with the use of the program did I realize the truism in our double standard ideals of One nation different destiny. I am further perplexed and thrown in a state of morbid tongue tying because of the caliber of General Buhari and the time bomb this view would cause for a nation trying to heal it’s wound and walking on a perilous terrain. The advantages of having a national identity card are too numerous to desire further details, but it suffice here to say that, for any person to allege that, only the north would be affected by this program because of the overwhelming illiterate population is to insult the common sensibilities of other Nigerians who know better that illiterate communities are abundant across the country and it is not peculiar to the north alone. The bottom line of all these therefore is that the identity card scheme would block so many exploited loopholes attendant with its absence. One of the most notable has been the inability of the country to proper identify with any semblance of credibility the identity of a true Nigerian for the purposes of taxation, etc.

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.
