Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Evala est une forme de lutte traditionnelle dont la finalité consiste à renverser son adversaire et qui se déroule chaque année à Kara, en pays Kabyè (nord du Togo). Chaque année à la mi-juillet a lieu un rite initiatique appelé Evala. C'est à la fois un sport et une cérémonie d'initiation qui montre que l'on appartient à la cour des grands. Au cours des evala, deux équipes de villages voisins se rencontrent autour d'un terrain. Les combats se déroulent par équipe de 5 jeunes hommes de 18 à 20 ans. Les techniques semblent assez peu structurées. Chaque combat se termine par la victoire du concurrent ou par un nul à la limite du temps de combat. Aucun classement final n'est établi, seul subsiste le comportement valeureux des lutteurs. Chaque équipe forme plusieurs rangs de lutteurs (le premier rang est celui des plus forts). Les lutteurs s'engagent sur le terrain sou l'œil du chef de l'État et s'affrontent dans une lutte ou le vainqueur est celui qui parvint à déséquilibrer son adversaire et à le faire tomber sur le dos. Les combats son souvent spectaculaires car en plus du fait que les lutteurs s'affrontent sur un terrain brut non dégagé, parsemé de pierre et de roche, les techniques de combat sont dignes de celles des luttes modernes. A la fin des combats, les deux équipes s'allient pour n'en former qu'une et aller affronter un autre village. La cérémonie se déroule en trois étapes où les équipes s'allient successivement. L'Evala est donc une cérémonie de ralliement entre les villages, une occasion pour tous les frères de même ethnie de se r...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. Lions live for ten to fourteen years in the wild, while in captivity they can live longer than twenty years. In the wild, males seldom live longer than ten years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions con...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=36896 ... Read more

Description:
The relationship between the phenomenon of violence in families and the different kinds of children maltreatment is very well-known. Nevertheless, the direct and sometimes the indirect consequences, in the middle or long-term, on children seem to be unknown. The objectives of this text were to determine the nature of specific violence based on sex in Lome and to have a critical analysis of opinions and perceptions of people on this phenomenon, through interviews and discussions in the focus groups. A contrast was noticed between the knowledge of the phenomenon of domestic violence by the public in general and its persistence in all the social groups. Sensibilisation of the professionals and researchers in the domain is very necessary in order to plan preventive actions. ... Read more

Description:
The objectives have been to analyse the perception of the educational norms by head of families and to determine the prevalence of the child maltreatment in Togo. It was a transversal study in 12 health districts selected at random. The parameters of study have been the socio-demographic data got from the people questioned, the nature of violence and their consequences. All the punishment has been considered by the head of families as good ways to educate children. But 92% consider there is still maltreatment if the punishment has lead to serious immediate consequences. Seventy-five percent of children were maltreated in the 12 passed months. All have been beaten, while 22% concerned by child labour, 2,2% by early marriage, 67% by parents carelessness, and 4,9% of the girls by sexual abuse. Ignorance of the head of families, the tradition and numerous families has been the main associated factors. An emphasis on the sensitisation of the population is very necessary, the same as the training of childhood professionals and the staff of the institutions that are in charge of the violence. ...

Contrary to conventional wisdom on democratic transition in Africa, civil society alone does not trigger democratization on the continent. "Determinants of Democratization in Africa" fills an important theoretical gap, by shedding light on the key variables to democratic transitions in Africa. Mathurin C. Houngnikpo demonstrates that democratic renewal in Africa depends more on the Military, incumbent leaders' willingness for change, and foreign influence. Houngnikpo shows, through a study of Benin and Togo, that civil society is necessary but not sufficient for democratization on the continent. ... Read more

Book Review

Many people merely dream of traveling around the world. This highly unusual man acts on his dreams. Every time he starts to wonder about an interesting place he has not been, he simply packs his bags, grabs a camera and goes to the airport to claim his seat. Soon he is in Brazil, China, Africa or anywhere there are people to meet, things to see and do, like taking pictures, buying art, shaking hands, asking questions and being entertained by professional guides and story tellers. "Hello, how are you, good to meet you. I'm Leon Freeman from Memphis, Tennessee." I found his introduction by a tribesman in Papua New Guinea as a cousin the most striking story of them all.

Mr. Freeman retired from his school teaching career and immediately set out to explore the world. Over the years he visited five continents, sixty-two countries and a string of islands ringing the globe like pearls. He discovered one satisfying fundamental fact: in human essence, we are all one. Whatever differences there might be in our outer physical appearance or our diverse cultural extensions, there are no qualitative differences to the principle: 'all human babies are created equal.'

In this picture book, Mr. Freeman provides the viewer with unforgettable, vicarious experiences to enjoy time and time again for many years to come.
