Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un génocide ne s'improvise pas, il se prépare. Et l'horreur qui a déferlé sur le Rwanda d'avril à juillet 1994 était annoncée de longue date. Comment les responsables politiques belges ont-ils pu fermer les yeux sur ce qui se tramait au pays des mille collines ? Pourquoi ont-ils fait preuve d'une telle complaisance vis-à-vis du président Juvénal Habyarimana ? Quelle était la probabilité de réussite des accords d'Arusha ? Quels rôles ont joué l'ONU et la France avant et durant le génocide ? Et en définitive, quelle somme d'incompétences et d'inconsciences a causé la mort tragique des dix Casques bleus belges ? Cet ouvrage polémique, où colère et lucidité se côtoient, explique clairement l'enchaînement des erreurs et des drames qui ont enflammé les mille collines et provoqué le massacre de centaines de milliers de personnes. Ces "chemins de la mort" ont été empruntés par toutes les parties en présence, pour la plus grande honte des extrémistes et des lâches.

Download or read book Africa s World War written by Gerard Prunier and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rwandan genocide sparked a horrific bloodbath that swept across sub-Saharan Africa, ultimately leading to the deaths of some four million people. In this extraordinary history of the recent wars in Central Africa, Gerard Prunier offers a gripping account of how one grisly episode laid the groundwork for a sweeping and disastrous upheaval. Prunier vividly describes the grisly aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, when some two million refugees--a third of Rwanda's population--fled to exile in Zaire in 1996. The new Rwandan regime then crossed into Zaire and attacked the refugees, slaughtering upwards of 400,000 people. The Rwandan forces then turned on Zaire's despotic President Mobutu and, with the help of a number of allied African countries, overthrew him. But as Prunier shows, the collapse of the Mobutu regime and the ascension of the corrupt and erratic Laurent-D?sir? Kabila created a power vacuum that drew Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and other African nations into an extended and chaotic war. The heart of the book documents how the whole core of the African continent became engulfed in an intractible and bloody conflict after 1998, a devastating war that only wound down following the assassination of Kabila in 2001. Prunier not only captures all this in his riveting narrative, but he also indicts the international community for its utter lack of interest in what was then the largest conflict in the world. Praise for the hardcover: "The most ambitious of several remarkable new books that reexamine the extraordinary tragedy of Congo and Central Africa since the Rwandan genocide of 1994." --New York Review of Books "One of the first books to lay bare the complex dynamic between Rwanda and Congo that has been driving this disaster." --Jeffrey Gettleman, New York Times Book Review "Lucid, meticulously researched and incisive, Prunier's will likely become the standard account of this under-reported tragedy." --Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracks and Traces of Violence explores the social conditions, political contexts, and cultural spaces of violence in Africa. It is comprised of accounts that underpin the visible and hidden 'tracks and traces' of violence in the memories of traumatized individuals and groups. It also interrogates the gaps, silences, and vacuities of/in these memories, as well as the role they play in shaping the facial contours of our modern societies.

Download or read book Transformation et consommation des denr es alimentaires en Afrique de l ouest centrale written by Bernard Yapo Kouassi and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La croissance démographique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, ses conséquences sur la croissance urbaine et les crises socio-politiques récurrentes ont complètement modifié les conditions de production et de consommation alimentaire dans la sous-région. La demande en nourriture dans les principaux centres urbains est devenue exponentielle, avec une forte dépendance du marché international. Cette demande ne concerne plus seulement les produits alimentaires à l'état brut, elle porte aussi sur les denrées transformées telles que les conserves alimentaires, les produits congelés et les huiles végétales. Par rapport à cette demande forte en aliments de base, les populations ouest-africaines cherchent elles-mêmes à s'adapter en mettant davantage l'accent sur des innovations. Celles-ci concernent à la fois les nouvelles cultures pratiquées, dont notamment un développement extraordinaire de l'agriculture périurbaine, la conception de nouveaux aliments et l'évolution des anciens mets traditionnels. Ces innovations concernent aussi la façon de présenter ces nouveaux mets aux consommateurs urbains. Ainsi, le faible pouvoir d'achat des populations urbaines entraîne désormais le développement extraordinaire des aliments de rue, en lieu et place de la restauration moderne où le coût des aliments reste élevé. Ce livre étudie ces diverses innovations à travers les expériences de transformation et de présentation des aliments prêts à être consommés, il évoque aussi les risques liés à ces innovations. L'ouvrage est structuré en quatre chapitres ayant trait à des études de cas centrées sur le Burkina Faso, le Ghana et la Côte d'Ivoire.
Download or read book Ma trise de l espace et d veloppement en Afrique written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2010 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les années 1960, suite à la construction progressive de l'Union Européenne et, bien après, à l'émergence du phénomène de la mondialisation, les dimensions spatiales de développement sont devenues multiples. Aux anciens concepts comme le pays, la région, le territoire national... sont venus s'ajouter des espaces d'intégration régionale et de la mondialisation. De même, la démocratisation de l'Etat et de la société, amorcée dans la plupart des pays africains depuis 1990, a entraîné la promotion de tous petits espaces de commandement issus de la décentralisation. Désormais, les espaces de développement deviennent plus complexes. Faut-il aller de " l'Etat-nation aux Etats-régions " ou de la " Région aux territoires " ? Ce sont là autant de questions qui se posent actuellement à la géographie. Ce volume, Maîtrise de l'espace et développement en Afrique : état des lieux, a pour objectif de faire prendre conscience aux géographes africains des nouveaux enjeux et défis auxquels est désormais confrontée leur discipline. Que signifie désormais l'espace de développement ? Quelle est sa portée économique et politique ? Ces questions sont d'autant plus importantes à soulever qu'en Afrique, l'organisation de l'espace dépend de deux logiques : formelle et informelle.
