The runways in the movie must have been on a Burbank set, for in reality there is a good hour on board a clanking carriage between the neon of the terminals and the dim lights of town. Both the bogies which make up this airport train are dark, and moonlight bathes the gentle contours of sand hills outside, here some trees, there a tangle of bidonvilles The station, when it finally comes, is dark too. The train stops, suddenly there are swinging lamps and shouts in the night. In the confusion, I barely have the time to get off before the clanking train lumbers away. I soon find out this is Casa-Voyageurs, a satellite station four miles east of town, and that I should have waited for Casa-Port, where the hotels are. Outside, in the dimly lit station square, there is still a little bustle left. As I step out, a large jalopy drives up and a burly man in skullcap and djellaba pokes his head out. Taxi? I get in, but almost before I have closed the door, a smaller black-and-yellow cab races across the station square and rams into the door, almost taking my arm off in the process. The two drivers leap out. It seems that the one I was about to patronize was a moonlighter, and not a proper taxi, and that the other cab had waited in the ranks for hours for a fare ... Leaving them to their altercation, I walk away and get into a minibus to Port.

Extractions: Northern Africa Featured Items Northern Africa stretches from the Atlantic shores of Morocco in the west to the Suez Canal and the Red Sea in the east. The area includes the countries of Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. Northern African has its own distinctive identity and internal diversity due to its position between the Mediterranean and the Sahara, between Europe and Africa, and between West and East. Northern Africa has had continuous contact over millennia with the cultures of Europe, including Greece and Rome during classical times and France, Italy and Spain during the colonial period. The Middle East has had the most profound cultural influence with its Arabic language, the development of cities, and Islam. Arabs and Berbers principally inhabit Northern Africa. The indigenous Berbers were in Northern Africa when the Phoenicians came as traders. The Arabs invaded the area between the 7th and 11th centuries. Today, the Berbers are greatly outnumbered by the Arabs. Nonetheless, they have left a strong and pervasive influence on the culture of Northern Africa. Arabic is the prevailing language throughout Northern Africa, but there are sharp contrast between city and rural dialects, classical Arabic and modern, and the distinctive Arab-French in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. There has been a persistent penetration of English in Algeria as well. Whereas the Berber language is spoken by less than a fifth of the population and is generally not written except by the Tuareg.

Extractions: SECRETARY-GENERAL SAYS WORLD'S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES 'HAVE A HOME' AT UN Report to Economic and Social Council recommends establishment of Forum Secretariat in New York As it closed its historic inaugural session in two meetings filled with music and ceremony, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues recommended this afternoon that the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) establish a secretariat for that Forum, attached to the Secretariat of the Council. According to the text of its draft decision one, (document E/CN.19/2002/CRP.6), the secretariat would assist the members of the Permanent Forum to fulfil their mandate by implementing the approved programme of activities. The activities would be funded from the regular budget. That decision was one of four contained in the Forum's report to the ECOSOC. At the first meeting today, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said to all the world's indigenous peoples: ?You have a home at the United Nations?. Indigenous peoples, he said, had hopes, rights and aspirations that could and must be addressed by the Organization, as well as knowledge and skills that could help the international community in its goals of development and peace.Indigenous peoples, he said, had already served as a valuable voice for traditional knowledge, collective rights and environmental custodianship. With the convening of the Forum, their priorities would now take their rightful place on the Organization?s agenda. It was entirely appropriate that indigenous peoples, including many victims of discrimination and the poorest of the poor, now had a platform. He pledged his strong support to their cause and concerns.

Extractions: World Horizons ministry in West Africa was established in 1986. Our goal has always been to see church established among the unreached people of the Sahel region just to the south of the Sahara desert. These peoples, inhabiting the former French colonies of the interior, are nominally Muslim and have been relatively neglected by missionary endeavour. We are working in NIGER and BURKINO FASO with plans for several other nations. In Niger we are working primarily in the area around the capital city of Niamey. We are working with the Fulani, Dzerma and Hause peoples. Our work includes the following projects: In Burkino Faso our goal is also to work among the least reached peoples while at the same time encouraging the strong indigenous churches of the south of the country to become involved in unreached peoples work. Accordingly we are working among Fulani, Tuareg and Sonrhai in the far north of the country on the edge of the desert.

This engrossing site is on African Amazons, the probable ancestors of contemporary Berber ( Amazigh, or Free People, is their name for themselves) and Tuareg peoples. The site is a little difficult to navigate so just click on all hypertext available (including "cap" on the opening page). There's a page full of Amazons as they were portrayed in ancient Greek art; there's another on Tin Hinan, an ancient Tuareg queen so revered that the gold in her tomb was never looted; there's a page on the Berbers, another on the Tuareg, another on ancient language and art from the Sahara. A trial membership to this group is offered with it you get free downloads of ancient art as well as translated texts concerning the Amazons.
