Site Map ARMED CONFLICT AND MINORITY AND INDIGENOUS CHILDREN IN THE HORN AND GREAT LAKES REGIONS OF AFRICA Report of an International Workshop 23-24 April 1998, Kampala, Uganda Workshop background and aims The Horn and Great Lakes regions of Africa have in recent decades been devastated by internal wars, and their civilian populations have suffered enormously. The UN (Machel) Report on The Impact of Armed Conflict on Children Through the UN Declaration on Minorities and other international instruments, the international community has emphasised the need to protect vulnerable communities, and through the UN (Machel) Report it has expressed grave concern about the impact of armed conflict on children. Recognizing that the welfare of minority and indigenous children is doubly jeopardized in armed conflict, the Human Rights and Peace Centre (HURIPEC), Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, and Minority Rights Group International (MRG), London, UK, jointly organized the Workshop on Armed Conflict and Minority and Indigenous Children in the Horn and Great Lakes Regions of Africa, held in Kampala on 23-24 April 1998. Child abductions in northern Uganda Aims and objectives The broad aim of the workshop was to address the special problems affecting minority and indigenous children in seven strife-torn countries in the Horn and Great Lakes regions: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire), Ethiopia, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. The specific objectives were:

Extractions: The six chapters of this book explore efforts towards sustainable development which involve small-scale farmers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Emphasis is on farmers' participation, on-farm research, biological control techniques and the maintenance and enhancement of biodiversity at the farm level. Three keys to improving pest management systems are discussed: understanding indigenous agricultural knowledge and applying it to solve pest problems; involving farmers in participatory research; and using agroecological principles and techniques that enhance natural and biological control processes. The editor's introductory chapter includes an excellent overview of indigenous methods of pest control.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which has the global mandate for the conservation of domestic animal diversity, about one-third of the 5000 officially documented livestock breeds are threatened with extinction and are dying out at the rate of almost two per week. At the same time, the value of local breeds and their advantages over high-performance breeds are becoming increasingly evident (FAO 1999). Disease resistance of indigenous breeds Adapting animals to new and unfavourable environments requires care and determination. The Tzotzil women of Chiapas, Mexico, developed their own breed of sheep - which are able to survive and produce under very challenging circumstances - from stock brought over by the Spanish conquerors (Perezgrovas 1996). The Fulani who inhabit the Sahel zone of Africa systematically and gradually expose animals to tsetse-infested areas, resulting in the survival of cattle in environments that were previously considered unsafe for them (Blench 1999).

Extractions: U PDATES On May 25, 1993, Eritrea became an independent state, after fighting a war for independence against Ethiopia for 30 years. Ethiopia had controlled and dominated Eritrea since 1952. Some 98.5 percent of the electorate participated in the referendum which determined Eritrea's liberation; some 99.8 percent of those who voted chose secession from Ethiopia as the path to self-determination. The referendum and its results have not ended the question of self-determination in either Eritrea or Ethiopia, however. The Afars, Muslims who live in Denkalia (the south-eastern lowlands of Eritrea), are seeking self-determination from Eritrea. Afars also live in Awsa (a large lowland area of adjacent Ethiopia) and comprise a substantial population in also adjacent Djibouti. Inspired by the outcome of the Eritrean struggle, the people of the "Afar Triangle" may now be moving toward a new independence movement for separation from all three states in which they live, or alternatively to become an administrative region within the new Ethiopia. Meanwhile, the new Ethiopia, now reduced by the secession of Eritrea, is still awash in ethno-nationalist movements. In an attempt to cope with that situation, the new state has been reorganized into a federation of administrative subdivisions which correspond closely and specifically to the largest and strongest indigenous peoples. The state is still dominated, however, by Amharas and Tigreans, who control most of the seats in the present government of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), none to the liking of peoples who find themselves once more subordinated in such a state (in which Amharic has become a

Extractions: By Baraasa Daye It was a shock to read the news posted on Walta website on 8 June 2002 under the heading Meles and his donors discussion. One is astonished not by the mans cheating ability (as it is not new), but the way he despised the lofty ideals for which the good and the great gave their life followed by the sacrifice of thousands precious sons and daughters from every nation in the empire. In the news, he is reported to have said the Federal structure effectively answered the question of various nations and nationalities . which was the question of various movements in the 1970s. This assertion is but another piece of joke. But why the joke? Is it to deceive EU commissioners and others who are in charge of humanitarian aid? While he should have felt guilty of joking on the blood and bones that enthroned him, I felt guilty for not responding and attempting to reveal the truth at a time when thousands are being killed, tortured, or removed from their jobs simply for truth, peace, democracy and freedom. I felt I have the moral obligation to discern the truth.

Extractions: Time for an African Solution by George B. N. Ayittey George B. N. Ayittey is an associate professor of economics at the American University and president of the Free Africa Foundation. His most recent book, Africa Betrayed (Cato and St. Martins, 1992), won the Mencken Award for best book of 1992. Executive Summary Somalia's societal breakdown and the famine that accompanied it were results of political and economic problems common to most sub-Saharan African countries. The U.S. and UN interventions in Somalia are unlikely to resolve the country's crisis because they do not offer solutions based on African initiatives. Indeed, dozens of UN and U.S. troops have already been killed by Somalis angry with those forces for trying to impose a settlement to Somalia's complex political disputes, and hundreds of Somalis have been killed in clashes with the occupying forces. That should not be surprising since outside attempts to resolve Africa's problems have regularly proven ineffective and even counterproductive. The chronic crises in Somalia and sub-Saharan Africa in general have been caused by a succession of repressive regimes and their disastrous domestic policies. Flawed economic and political models have led to dismal growth in per capita income, falling rates of food production, periodic famines, systematic disregard of basic liberties, institutionalized corruption, and ongoing civil wars.

Extractions: No general, universal agreement defines indigenous peoples. This observation is stated in many forms, in relevant UN commissions and working groups, as well as in the World Bank's Operational Directive on Indigenous Peoples. Most countries currently seeking to address indigenous issues do so within the context of their national constitution, and according to their reading of history, rather than as an issue of universal character. In UN-sponsored meetings, representatives of indigenous peoples and many governments have expressed the view that a definition of the concept of indigenous peoples is not necessary at the intenational level, although such definitions may be advisable and necessary at the national level. In addition, indigenous peoples have questioned the need for a universal definition of the concept of "indigenous peoples:" "peoples"

Fatima Jibrell Wins 2002 Goldman Environmental Prize, World's Largest Award for Grassroots Environmentalists San Francisco-Fatima Jibrell, who has faced war, drought and harassment while working to organize women and protect diminishing natural resources in Somalia, is one of eight 2002 winners of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize. The Prize, now in its 13th year, will be presented on April 22, 2002, at a San Francisco awards ceremony. Somalia is suffering from a decade of civil war, crippling drought and, now, the potential of being targeted as a haven for terrorists. Despite these challenges, Jibrell and her organization, Horn of Africa Relief and Development Organization, have organized across clans and regions to lead women and their families in promoting cooperative and careful use of fragile natural resources.
