myTitle = "ssatitle" Brief history of IPGRI in sub-Saharan Africa The first IPGRI (then IBPGR-International Board for Plant Genetic Resources) office was established in West Africa in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in 1981. It was later moved to Niamey, Niger in l987 and given responsibility for West and Central Africa, with a single scientist. The Nairobi office was established in 1982 with, at that time, responsibility for Eastern and Southern Africa. One scientist also originally ran it. At this time IPGRI (IBPGR) was a field programme of the FAO and the initial emphasis of the work in sub-Saharan Africa was assistance to national programme in procurement and development of conservation facilities; collection of germplasm through both local and international missions and training of national programme staff in plant genetic resources conservation and use mainly at the University of Birmingham through fellowships provided by UNEP and FAO . Because of the urgent need to rescue germplasm from a multiplicity of threats IBPGR (IPGRI) located one collector in the LAC region and was based at IRAZ in Burundi while another collector was based in Harare Zimbabwe to facilitate germplasm collection in the Southern Africa region. After an internal re-organisation and the establishment of IPGRI as an independent CGIAR institute, the sub-Saharan Africa Group was established, with a main office in Nairobi. The office had four staff members (2 IRS and 2 LRS) and a sub-office for West and Central Africa in Niamey with two staff members (1 IRS and 1 LRS, the latter on a special project). This latter office was relocated to Cotonou, Benin in June 1996.

AudioVideo Friday, 19 May, 2000, 18:07 GMT 19:07 UK Burkina Faso denies arming rebels President Compaore denies arming the RUF rebles The government of Burkina Faso has denied that it is stoking up the conflict in Sierra Leone by supplying arms to the rebel forces of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) of Foday Sankoh. A statement issued in Ouagadougou said Burkina Faso was astonished to find itself accused of arming one part of Sierra Leonean society against another. "Burkina Faso, which has always persevered against every adversity, categorically denies the gross slur that it supplies arms to rebel movements," the statement said. The RUF leader Foday Sankoh is being kept in protective custody Official sources in Ouagadougou say the denial was prompted by renewed accusations against Burkina Faso in the European Parliament. The Sierra Leonean Government as well international campaigners say that the two countries have been used by the RUF as transit points for their diamond exports. It is also widely believed that the RUF gets most of its arms and other supplies through Liberia in exchange for illegally mined diamonds.

Africa : Burkina Faso Burkina Faso History Much of Burkina Faso is populated by descendants of the Mossi empire, founded when a band of horsemen from nearby Ghana galloped through at the turn of the 15th century. Unlike other African countries that governed through non-hierarchical village systems, the Mossi organised a blue-blooded empire that even The Firm at Windsor Castle would be hard pressed to match. They developed courts of law, administrative bodies, ministerial positions, and a cavalry to protect the realm. The later proved to be critical in resisting the hostile advances of their Muslim neighbours and explains why, even today, Burkina Faso is one of the few West African countries that's not predominantly Muslim. Things remained relatively stable in Upper Volta (as it was then known) until the French began nosing around in 1897. Having already moved into the neighbourhood, they decided to bring a little imperial
