Extractions: Our Annual Meeting is approaching fast. Enclosed you will find another registration form. This is your last chance to plan to join us in shaping, in an active and meaningful way, AFJN's agenda for action in the next two years in the post-election period. The theme of the meeting, Speak Hope, Claim Justice , is symbolic in diverse ways. As we enter AFJN 20th year of existence, it reflects both AFJN's faithful commitment to Africa and the continent's resilience in face of adversity. It is also a witness to the challenges of our times. From the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989) to the months following September 11 (2001), we seem to have moved from one Cold War to another. The interim twelve years presented a unique window of opportunity for ensuring that respect for human rights and human beings and commitment to genuine democracy became the prevailing values of our nation's foreign policies. That window has largely closed. Corporate greed, (re)militarization of foreign policy, primacy of security over human rights concerns, secrecy of action and decision-making based on covert intelligence have become the pillars of our current foreign policy-making craft. The distinction between the developed and the developing worlds is becoming increasingly blurred. Lacking any viable role model for sustainable people-centered development, Africa now more than ever needs to reinvent itself. We have deep faith that Africa can do this and that another world is possible. Come and be part of the debate and history in the making.

Venue: Lecture theatre) The current situation of minority languages and their associated cultures in Africa south of the Sahara including some particular areas where I have conducted research (such as in Angola 1965, 1979, 1980 and 1982, Zambia 1971, 1973, 1977/78, 1979 and 1987, and the Central African Republic, 1964 and 1966) is a consequence of historical developments which are to be understood politically, socially and culturally. What is a minority language? Are there any criteria that make a language fall under this category? In the first place the answer depends on a definition of the term "minority". In a country with two political parties, for example, one may obtain a majority of votes, while the other, consequently, is then in the minority. In such a case "minority" is anything below 50%. In practice, however, there are always more contenders. With regard to language, there are no linguistic criteria to determine what is a minority language.
Extractions: "In Kosovo a group of states intervened without seeking authority from the United Nations Security Council. In [East] Timor the council has now authorised intervention, but only after obtaining an invitation from Indonesia ... As in Rwanda five years ago, the international community stands accused of doing too little, too late ... Neither of these precedents is satisfactory as a model for the new millennium." The aim of this contribution is to highlight a number of key unresolved issues regarding the present and future conduct of peace support operations on the African continent. These issues are grouped into three main areas of enquiry: when and where to intervene, who should intervene, and how to intervene. WHEN AND WHERE TO INTERVENE

Ubuyile - Jazz coming home radio documentaries Past, present and future are inextricably linked. And the music of Africa reflects this in its experiences and realities. There are some exciting archives that capture this, private collections that represent it and slowly fading oral histories that tell of all the pains, tragedies and triumphs. In the new urban culture during the fifties in the copper mining towns of Katanga province in southern Congo and on the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, the guitar became an important status symbol. The Katanga guitar style came from the rich likembe tradition of the Luba peoples, whereas on the Zambian Copperbelt the guitar songs are very diverse - being either traditionally based or heavily influenced by the mainly American music, popular in the fifties, played by the radio station specifically set up for African broadcasts. An exciting document, with some famous names such as Mwenda Jean Bosco and George Sibanda, of the emergence of a new sound.
ISSUES AND DILEMMAS OF MULTI-PARTY DEMOCRACY IN AFRICA they do is to substitute a bembadominated regime its contours must be shaped by indigenousAfrican socio incumbent regimes held democracy and peoples at ransom http://www.westafricareview.com/war/vol3.2/hameso.html
Extractions: Seyoum Hameso Decades of military rule and authoritarian regimes were gradually yielding to a new era of democracy, and popular participation in governance began to emerge. During the last decade, some 42 African countries have held multi-party presidential or parliamentary elections, with mixed results (ADB 2001:99). Given a situation where all the above conditions are met, competitive politics culminate in majoritarian rule. During the Cold War era, the priority by Western states for economic and national ties meant that corrupt regimes elsewhere were supported despite their record on human rights violations and absence of democracy. When the Cold War was over, governments made reluctant moves to multiparty democracy. Reluctance in itself was a pointer of the fragility of the basis for competitive politics. While politicians in power viewed multipartyism with suspicion, academics too contested its validity. It is argued that, born and bred in the industrial West, multiparty politics is not the best fit for Africa where socio-political structures and potent identification are more of ethnicity and less of classes (Hameso 1997b; 2001). This paper advances the debate on the appropriateness of multiparty politics in Africa. The starting point is an inquiry into the background to democratisation of African polities followed by the examination of the dilemmas facing multiparty democracy in African setting and the search for alternative approaches.

Extractions: Chapter Fourteen Northern Zambia The biggest attractions in the region are the Nyika Plateau and Lake Tanganyika. Nyika is mainly in Malawi, and its wildlife has been well conserved. Most of its animals are non-threatening, and so it is a superb place for hiking. KASAMA Getting there By train The TAZARA station is a few kilometres from the centre of town, on the right as you enter from Mpika. This is your last chance to disembark at a major town before the railroad turns east, and away from Lake Tanganyika. By bus Hitchhiking Where to stay Where to eat Chisimba Falls These falls partially run an unobtrusive hydro-electric station, but the water that is left makes for a pleasant waterfall, and there is a good camp-site nearby. Getting there MBALA Where to stay There are two options here. The New Grasshopper Inn (which used to be merely the Grasshopper Inn) has 14 rooms, and can be contacted at PO Box 93, tel: 04 291. The alternative is the Arms Hotel (tel: 450585) which has 10 rooms. This used to be called the Abercorn Arms, but changed when the town changed its name from Abercorn to Mbala. Moto Moto Museum This museum opened in 1974 and has an excellent reputation as perhaps the best place in the country for Bemba history and artefacts. It was originally assembled by a missionary stationed here, Father Corbell, who amassed a very extensive collection of tools, craft instruments, and exhibits connected to traditional ceremonies and witchcraft. These have been housed with the help of some aid money, and the museum is now well signposted and well known to the locals.
