This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Dictionary of International Organizations in Africa and the Middle East focuses on international organizations in Africa. And the Middle East. This makes sense for political, cultural, and geographical reasons. North African countries, and many located in the Sahel region, are members of not only African but also Middle Eastern international organizations due to their cultural and religious heritage as well as geographic location between Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. A limited number of global organizations are also included in this book when they have major programs focusing on Africa and/or the Middle East. This volume emphasizes intergovernmental organizations but many non-governmental organizations are also included. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, thematic topics, and major international issues affecting the region. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about this subject.

Download or read book My Journey with the United Nations and Quest for the Horn of Africa s Unity and Justice for Ethiopia written by Kidane Alemayehu and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Journey with the United Nations and Quest for the Horn of Africa’s Unity and Justice for Ethiopia by Kidane Alemayehu My Journey with the United Nations and Quest for the Horn of Africa's Unity and Justice for Ethiopia is a landmark in the annals of Ethiopian literature and history. It gives a huge assignment to the present and future generations of Ethiopians – namely that justice must be done, if not today, then tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. The Catholic Church, as the Universal Church, cannot remain mum in the face of such horrendous accusations supported by evidence. It is our fervent hope that, as Vicar of Jesus His Holiness, Pope Francis, who is already well known for his humility and steadfast stand for justice, will address this outstanding issue of apology to the Ethiopian people.

Download or read book Restructuring the African State and Quest for Regional Integration written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author looks at different approaches towards regional and continental unity, and the need to restructure the African state. He contends that reconfiguration of the African state is necessary after the institutions inherited at independence, especially centralisation of power, have failed to serve the people. He calls for decentralisation of power in order to enable the people - different groups - to set their own agenda for sustainable development. Power should be in the hands of the people at the grassroots level using local institutions to formulate development plans, control and allocate resources in their own areas. Reconfiguration of the African state will also help to accommodate different ethnic groups on equal basis and enable marginalised groups, especially smaller and weaker groups, to fully participate in the political process and get a fair share of the nation's resources without being dominated and exploited by others, especially dominant groups. Restructuring the state will also enable all groups to play an equal role in achieving unity, stability and development. The work is also an examination of the transition African countries have gone through since independence and the problems they have faced and continue to face in terms of nation building and trying to achieve and maintain peace and stability without which prosperity is impossible. It is a call for rebuilding Africa through a combination of innovative approaches.

Download or read book Every Hill a Burial Place written by Peter H. Reid and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 28, 1966, Peace Corps personnel in Tanzania received word that volunteer Peppy Kinsey had fallen to her death while rock climbing during a picnic. Local authorities arrested Kinsey's husband, Bill, and charged him with murder as witnesses came forward claiming to have seen the pair engaged in a struggle. The incident had the potential to be disastrous for both the Peace Corps and the newly independent nation of Tanzania. Because of the high stakes surrounding the trial, questions remain as to whether there was more behind the final "not guilty" verdict than was apparent on the surface. Peter H. Reid, who served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Tanzania at the time of the Kinsey murder trial, draws on his considerable legal experience to expose inconsistencies and biases in the case. He carefully scrutinizes the evidence and the investigation records, providing insight into the motives and actions of both the Peace Corps representatives and the Tanzanian government officials involved. Reid does not attempt to prove the verdict wrong but examines the events of Kinsey's death, her husband's trial, and the aftermath through a variety of cultural and political perspectives. Meticulously researched and replete with intricate detail, this compelling account sheds new light on a notable yet overlooked international incident involving non-state actors in the Cold War era.

Download or read book Ethnic Politics in Kenya and Nigeria written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is more than just a study of ethnic politics in Kenya and Nigeria. The two countries are a microcosm of the entire continent: the problems it faces, its successes and failures, and the hope and despair of hundreds of millions of its people whose aspirations have been frustrated by decades of corrupt leadership that has skilfully exploited one of Africa's biggest weaknesses -- tribalism. But the people themselves are also responsible for that. They have allowed tribalism to flourish and destroy the countries. And they have allowed unscrupulous politicians to use and abuse them -- without storming the Bastille. What they are not responsible for is dictatorship African leaders instituted to perpetuate themselves in office by exploiting tribalism. These despots have been so good at it, and have done it for so long since independence, that many African countries are now on the brink of collapse, with the people at war against themselves.
