Many of the Manifesto signees are imprisoned. Ali Mahdi Mohamed emerges as one of the main leaders of Mogadishu Hawiye opposition. The USC-Mogadishu emerges late in the year and is led by Ali Mahdi, Hussein Haji Bod and others. By 1990, faced by multiple liberation fronts, Barre’s forces lose control of most of the countryside. Growing loss of control of Mogadishu; by late 1990, most internationals evacuate. - Opposition clans oust Barre who is forced to flee the country. Barre and his remaining forces flee the capital to Kismayo. USC and its supporters claim control of Mogadishu. Period of looting and chaos ensues in the capital. Hundreds of thousands of Somalis are internally displaced as they relocate to areas that their clans control. In the countryside, retreating Barre forces pillage and lay waste to villages. Only the northern sections of the country are spared from the looting and fighting. Ali Mahdi is elected president by a small group of Hawiye notables in Mogadishu. This decision is disputed by many, who oppose a nomination process that lacked broad consultations. Madhi’s "presidency" goes unrecognised internationally.

low graphics version feedback help You are in: Talking Point: Debates: African Front Page ... AudioVideo Tuesday, 25 April, 2000, 11:38 GMT 12:38 UK Somalia: Should foreign countries broker peace? Since the fall of the former dictator Siad Barre in 1991 Somalia has been riven by ethnic conflict between competing clans. Some regions of the country have split away and declared autonomy with greater or lesser degrees of international recognition. The Djibouti government is in the process of organising its third attempt to broker peace in Somalia but several factions and self-declared autonomous regions are refusing to attend. Should Djibouti bother to try to bring peace to Somalia? Should Somalis be left to sort out their own problems? Is interference by foreign countries in the internal conflict of another nation ever justified? Or does the international community have a moral duty to try to bring peace? A selection of your emails will be broadcast on Focus on Africa during the 1705 edition on Saturday. Certainly, the involvement of Djibouti to bring peace to Somalia is a laudable one. That said personally, I do not subscribe to the International countries brokering peace in Somalia as antecedents would show. The last time the world (USA) tried to enforce peace in that war-torn country their sons were senselessly killed by the various warlords/factions. Hence, let foreign countries give Somalia and its warlords a wide berth for once bitten twice shy. It is an internal matter and it should be so solved.

It is also used as one of the two official languages of the Vatican (the other being Latin) and as one of the three official languages of Switzerland (the others being German and French). Italian is further used as a language of commerce in the former Italian colonies of Ethiopia, Somalia, Libya, and Tunisia. Italian is currently spoken by some 66 million people, mostly in peninsular Italy, but with some spillover in the Ticino canton of Switzerland; in the southeastern border regions of France; and in small communities in Slovenia and Croatia. Dialects of Italian are also spoken, but not as official languages, in Corsica and in overseas immigrant communities in the United States, Brazil, and Argentina. Dialect-users outside of Italy often do not know standard Italian, and, overseas, the use of dialect tends to die out among later generations. history of italian language The source of modern Italian (and of the other Romance languages) was a spoken, popular version of the Latin tongue that was spread throughout the Empire by conquering Roman legions, beginning with the Italian peninsula and Sicily, followed by Gaul (later France) and the Iberian peninsula (later Spain and Portugal), and soon including the British isles, the Rhine valley (later western Germany and Switzerland), the Danube valley (later southern Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Romania), as well as the northern shore of Africa (later Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia).

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.

STATE FORMATION IN ANCIENT NORTHEAST AFRICA AND THE INDIAN OCEAN TRADE Stanley M. Burstein University of California at Los Angeles The publication in 1974 of the first volume of Immanuel Wallersteins The Modern WorldËSystem was a milestone in the historiography of world history. For the first time the whole complex history of the world since the sixteenth century CE had been presented as part of single integrated process in which social and political structures were correlated with regional economic roles. Wallersteins by now familiar classification of world regions into core, semi-periphery, and periphery provided an elegant framework for analyzing the socio-economic history of the various regions in terms of their function in the World System. Wallersteins scheme has been criticized on many grounds including putative Eurocentrism and overemphasis on the significance of economic factors in history. Probably, no aspect of his work has drawn more criticism, however, than his insistence that the world system was uniquely characteristic of modern history because its appearance was dependent on the emergence of modern capitalism.

Djibouti Djibouti History and Government History: Djibouti was originally inhabited by nomadic tribes, the main ones being the Afars and the Issas, who are strongly linked to Ethiopia and Somalia respectively. In 1862, the French signed a treaty with the Afar leaders, giving them land on the north coast. During the rest of the 19th century, Djibouti gradually became more firmly associated with France. In 1915, a railway was completed from Djibouti to Addis Ababa. In 1945, French Somaliland (as the area was called) was declared an ‘overseas territory’ and in 1967, it became the French territory of the ‘Afars and Issas’. Tensions between the Afars, the Issas and the French led to sporadic outbreaks of violence during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1977, the French agreed to withdraw and the country achieved independence with Hassan Gouled Aptidon as president. A sizeable French military presence in the country guaranteed the Gouled regime, which was threatened by organised opposition – both inside the country and abroad – and by the instability of its larger neighbours, Somalia and Ethiopia and, later on, Eritrea. In 1991, Afar tribesmen launched a major assault on the regime, under the rubric of

Chat Forum History Center VIEWS OF THE OGADEN PEOPLE UNDER ETHIOPIAN COLONIALISM BACKGROUND The Ogaden Somali territory lies between Oromia to the West, Afar land to the Northwest, the Republic of Djibouti to the north, Kenya to the south and The Somali Republic to the east. Somali agro-pastorals people with a single language, culture, and socio-economic structure inhabit the Ogaden territory. The Ogaden Somali people were free, independent and powerful until colonial powers from overseas came to Africa and started arming the Abyssinian chiefs in the north of present day Ethiopia. The Abyssinians using the arms and expertise provided by the colonialists captured Harar in 1884 and started raiding Ogaden Somali villages in that area, killing the men and selling women and children as slaves. The Ogaden Somalis resisted vehemently the encroachment of the Abyssinian expansionists and succeeded in halting their advance. Even though the Abyssinian military campaign to conquer the rest of the Somali territory failed, the colonial powers recognised its claim over the Ogaden Somaliland and signed treaties with them. From 1886 to 1948, Abyssinia (renaming itself Ethiopia) waged a constant war of conquest against the Somalis but failed in gaining any further foothold in the Ogaden.

The high school community has seen many changes in the last year. New upper-income subdivisions are being built in a formerly rural area, and the boundaries of the service area were recently changed to include a lower-income housing project, which has many immigrant families from Somalia and Ukraine. Ninth-graders were also added to the school last year. Principal Diana Pratt and the district boundary committee strongly believed that the boundary change was important to create a more diverse school culture. What Pratt didn't realize was that many students transferred to a more diverse high school where they felt more comfortable. It became Pratt's mission to make her school a more diverse, culturally responsive, safe, and welcoming place where students would want to stay.
