Documents menu Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 20:36:28 GMT-5 Organization: East Tennessee State University Subject: QUERY: Democracy in Africa Democracy in Africa A dialog on the H-Africa list 27 November 1995 Date: Mon, 27 Nov 1995 This article reinforced my awareness that traditional African societies had important democratic features, albeit not the representative democratic forms touted in Western cultures, but democratic nevertheless. I also am aware that colonialized and poverty stricten peoples in Asia have been able to find their way toward contemporary democratic governments. Furthermore, eastern European poeples have struggled through to democratic structures is spite of pressures from their former Soviet neighbor. Romania is an example of where this took place against a repressive dictatorship. My musings went deeper into the Nigerian situation. I am aware that the old Habe kingdoms were always subject to the tempering effects of their princes; Habe kings could not be tyrants, at least not until they began to come into possession of guns and other weapons. It was then that they became tyrannical, and it was then that they faced the challenged of the Fulani revolt. So why do Africans, in spite of traditional patterns of democracy and in spite of 30 to 35 years of independent rule, have so much difficulty? More importantly, what are the prospects that they will be able to do it in the near future?

Just the right location for major Strategic Bases for US Pentagon and Interests ambitions; ideal also for the registration of US commercial shipping, low tax, insurance rates and difficulty for insurance claims by foreigners to succeed.(Oil spills, collisions, culpable driving etc). History Originally owned by indigenous tribal groups -Kru, Mande and Mandingo- the area, in the colonialist tidal wave, was simply called the Grain Coast. Many runaway slaves had settled in England. A British Court abolished slavery in London City, which encouraged others to gather in London. Abolitionist Granville Sharp purchased 250 sq kms of land for 60 pounds from the chiefs of Lokko, Sherbo, Limba, Sussu, Fulani, Kono, Krio and organised an agricultural colonialist society in the area they named Sierra Leone. In 1821 the American Colonisation Society purchased part of this area to export and settle surplus slaves, calling it Liberia. This was a deliberate plan to establish a US colonial foothold in Africa. At no time were the tribal, rightful owners of the land consulted or considered. They named the capital

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"

The Fulani is the largest nomadic people group in the world, spread across dozens of central and West African countries. They are a proud people who consider themselves superior to other peoples - and as a result often run into conflict. They regard it a loss of face to show any joy, anger, strong emotion or pain. Fulani society is divided into three classes: urban dwellers settlers who pursue agriculture to survive the nomadic cattle herders, regarded as the purest and most noble Fulani. Those living in cities and among the settled farms are more easily reached by the Gospel and by missionaries. All three classes of Fulani gain their identity from Islam. The cattle grazers are the least orthodox - often mixing Islam with folk religion, local witchcraft and animism. Because of their high resistance to other cultures, their allegiance to Islam, multiplicity of dialects, and inaccessibility to missionaries, most Fulani do not have the bible available to them. There are a few thousand Christians, but they are persecuted and ostracized from their families - despite this , they gladly follow Jesus. The high level of persecution - including loss of life - among new converts makes it difficult to have viable indigenous growing churches among the Fulani.
