Extractions: Penchenier L, Wang Sonne, Bureau Ph. RESUME Depuis les années 70, nous assistons à une reprise générale de la Trypanosomiase Humaine Africaine (THA). Les épidémies de ces dernières années se sont toutes développées à l’emplacement des foyers historiques des dramatiques pandémies de la fin du siècle dernier et des années 30, ce qui a fait évoquer un "génie épidémique de la THA". Sommaire Bureau Ph, Chandenier J. RESUME SUMMARY The discovery, followed by the disappearancer or the maintaince of different foyers of human african trypanosomiasis in Gabon are described from 1913 to 1990. If we also consider extinguished foyers, all provinces of the country have been concerned by the illness. Emphasis is put on the risk of revival of certain focus which are considered to be extinguished.

Extractions: Terry C. H. Sunderland En Afrique de l'ouest et en Afrique centrale, il existe 4 genres de rotin, représantant 16 espèces. Les rotins d'Afrique font partie intégrante des stratégies de subsistance d'une grande partie de la population rurale et fournissent la base d'une industrie de construction florissante. Si la plupart des espèces de rotin sont utilisées au niveau local de manière polyvalente, il existe deux espèces plus répandues et plus communes, Laccosperma secundiflorum (jadis appelé Ancistrophyllum ) et Eremospatha macrocarpa , qui sont utilisées à l'échelle régionale et qui sont utilisés à la fois comme moyens de subsistance ou à des fins commerciales. Les organismes donateurs et les gouvernements nationaux ont reconnu depuis longtemps l'importance des rotins africains dans le marché mondial ainsi que son rôle dans le secteur régional des PFNL. Cependant, le développement de cette ressource en Afrique a été souvent entravé par le manque d'informations sur les espèces réellement utilisées, ainsi que leurs exigences écologiques, et donc sur les stratégies d'aménagement appropriées, permettant d'assurer une exploitation durable de cette ressource. Alors que les PFNL font l'objet d'un intérêt croissant et sont considérés comme un moyen potentiel de contribuer à la la conservation et au développement des ressources forestières, le rotin a été souvent cité comme un des produits qui pourrait être développé d'une manière significative. Du fait de cet intérêt, des travaux récents réalisés par le Programme de recherche sur le rotin africain (

Extractions: Evaluation and prospects Libreville - Gabon 7-11 June 1999 Commission Nationale Gabonaise pour l'Unesco Agence de la Francophonie Under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Gabon Sous le Haut patronage The end of the century shows sub-Saharan Africa confronted with crucial human and social issues, like many other areas in the world. Reflection about the contribution and the role of social sciences is altogether a scientific challenge for researchers, as well as a social and political one for leaders. Social sciences can effectively contribute to understanding these issues and actually help to make a decision. The idea of having an evaluation and opening new prospects is not really a new one. However, the four reasons given below explain why this project is of paricular interest. A favourable occasion : the issues are really urgent. As social sciences are experiencing an important development in African university education, researchers are now able to have the necessary backing in time to allow objective evaluation. Consequently researchers must think about the role of social sciences in order to train and professionalize students in a satisfactory manner, and set up a scientific processing in tackling the concerns of leaders. A multidisciplinary aspect : evaluation and analysis of prospects is often carried out through a single discipline. On the contrary, here, reflection aims at linking traditional social sciences, anthropology, sociology, demography, politology, including history and human geography, communication and economy.

Extractions: ESTIMATED 2000 POPULATION Gabon is located on the west coast of Africa. It is bound by Congo to the northeast, east and south, Cameroon to the north, Equatorial Guinea to the northwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Most of the country is covered in dense equatorial rain forests while its coastal plains are narrow and typified by lagoons and estuaries, such as the N'Dogo, N'Goze and N'Komi lagoons. The interior rises in a series of steps to the Central African Plateau. In the north the Crystal Mountains enclose the valleys of the Woleu and N'Tem Rivers as well as the Ivindo River Basin. In southern Gabon the coastal plain is dominated by granite hills and almost the entire country is situated on the Ogooue River with its two major tributaries, the N'Gounie and Ivindo Rivers. Major Cities (pop. est.); Libreville 419,600, Port Gentil 78,200, Franceville 83,000 (1993). Land Use; forested 77%, pastures 18%, agricultural-cultivated 2%, other 3% (1993).

Extractions: Introduction French is one of the world's great languages, rivaled only by English as the language of international society and diplomacy. Besides being spoken in France, it is one of the official languages of Belgium, of Switzerland, and of Canada; it is the official language of Luxembourg, of Haiti, of more than fifteen African countries, and of various French dependencies such as St. Pierre and Miquelon (off the coast of New-foundland), Guadeloupe and Martinique (in the Caribbean), French Guiana (in South America), Reunion (in the Indian Ocean), and New Caledonia and Tahiti (in the South Pacific). In addition, French is the unofficial second language of a number of countries, including Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Syria, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. All told, it is the mother tongue of about 75 million people, with millions more familiar with it, in some degree, as a second language. French is one of the Romance languages, descended from Latin. The appearance of Latin in France (then called Gaul) dates from Caesar's conquest of the region in the period 58-51 B.C. Gaul became one of the richest and most important provinces of the Roman Empire and Latin superseded the various Celtic (Gaulish) tongues as the language of the domain. A number of dialects emerged but history favored the north; Paris became the capital of France in the 12th century and Parisian French gained ascendancy over the others. In the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries French was preeminent as an inter-national language, though it has been partially eclipsed by English in the 20th. French was one of the two official languages of the League of Nations and is now one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
