Extractions: The Toucouleur , a black West African people group, sub-group of the Fulani people, live mostly in the Senegal River Valley in Northern Senegal and Southern Mauritania, although they are also found widely dispersed throughout other Western African countries. The origins of the Toucouleur are hard to determine, but that they are descendants of the ancient rules of the Tekrour Empire are quite certain. Another popular explanation is that the Toucouleur are a cultural mix of the ethnic groups that used to inhabit the northern regions incorporated in the Tekrour Empire. Notably these ethnic influences include the Saragoele / Sereres, the Maures and the Bedouins, Soninkes and nomadic Fulani herders. Traditionally sedentary farmers in a close-knit society, these "Speakers of Pulaar", or "Haalpular'en" as the Toucouleur like to call themselves, were possibly the first Black Africans to convert to Islam in the 11th century. They consider themselves to be the defenders of the Islamic faith and are resistant to other religious influences, and especially Christianity. It is through Toucouleur warriors and 'holy men' that the other major tribes in Senegal were converted to the Islamic faith.

Pilgrimages were made to Africa in search of knowledge by such eminent men as Solon, Plato, Pythagoras; and several came to listen to the instruction of the African Euclid, who was at the head of the most celebrated mathematical school in the world, and who flourished 300 years before the birth of Christ.

In the critically acclaimed Black Athena vol. 1 , Martin Bernal, following the lead of James Africanus Beale Horton (1868), and George James' Stolen Legacy , addresses the ways in which, from the seventeenth century onward, the white intellectual structure of knowledge and its racist model of interpretation distorted global history.

Extractions: JAIC 1992, Volume 31, Number 1, Article 2 (pp. 03 to 16) Some specific examples in African art where nontangible attributes might have an effect on treatment decisions can be seen in the following: Should we look inside a Yoruba beaded crown (fig. 1), considered to be the premier piece of divine regalia, to mend the textile lining (fig. 2), or lend slides of its interior to the education department, when in cultural context it is forbidden for anyone, including the king, to view the interior? Should we secure loose and detached fragments of sacrificial patination on a Bamana Komo headdress (fig. 3), when the amount and thickness of this incrustation (fig. 4) are directly related to the degree and effectiveness of its cultural power? How do we justify the public exhibition of an Igala shrine figure (fig. 9), which would have been restricted from public view and seen only by people of a specific age, sex, or initiate? Fig. 1.

It is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, the Sahara Desert on the north, the Gulf of Guinea on the south, and the eastern boundaries of the countries of Niger, Nigeria, and Cameroon on the east. The countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo comprise West Africa. PHYSICAL FEATURES AND CLIMATE OF WEST AFRICA West Africa is divided horizontally into two distinct areas. The first is the western portion of the Sudan, which, although hot and dry, contains arable grassland. The Western Sudan, which includes most of Senegambia, extends from the southern reaches of the Sahara Desert to south of the Niger River, and as far as Lake Chad in the east. The Niger, Gambia and Senegal Rivers are the three major bodies of water of this region. The swampy area between the Niger and Senegal Rivers, called the Wangara, was a major source of gold in medieval times. The second area is the Guinea Coast , which starts below the Niger River , where the tropical forest begins, and extends to the Gulf of Guinea . The Guinea Coast is a region dominated by year-round humid heat and dense tropical forests through which run the Volta and the Bandama Rivers . The Niger Delta is also an important geographical landmark of the Guinea Coast.

Extractions: index Friends of The Earth Australia , January 16, 2002 In a letter faxed yesterday from Sydney, over 250 peace groups, environment groups, non-governmental organizations and parliamentarians worldwide have called on the governments of India and Pakistan, to step back from the brink of a possible nuclear war. In spite of a significant lessening in the tension between the two countries and statements and actions from Pakistan (In particular President Musharraf's recent speech) that indicate that it is willing to clamp down on cross-border terrorist activity as demanded by India, the situation between the two nuclear-armed countries remains tense and potentially explosive, with no room for error. The letter asks that troops be moved back from the border and that transport links be restored. It asks that discussions be started to eliminate the risk of a nuclear exchange between the two countries, that a dialogue be commenced on Kashmir, and that there be discussions to produce lasting peace and stability in the region.

Extractions: Crouched in the shadow of a Portuguese fort on the opposite, northern side of the headland from Vagator , Chapora, 10-km from Mapusa , is a lat busier than most north coast villages. Dependent on fishing and boat building, it has, to a great extent, retained a life of its own independent of tourism. The workaday indifference to the annual invasion of Westerners is most evident on the main street, lined with as many regular stores as travellers cafes and restaurants.
