Certain questions emerge from Black Africa's ancient and modern history: How did the various races evolve from an original African race? Were ancient Nubia and ancient Egypt the first neighbouring black African nations? How did the slave trade, colonialism and neo-colonialism contribute to the economic and technological advancement of Europe and America? Did a US president order the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of the Congo? Was the HIV/AIDS epidemic caused by pre-independence vaccination campaigns? Why are Africa's mineral resources falling into the hands of greedy gangster politicians and warlords? Is the poor state of Africa's health solely due to a failure of leadership? Within the confines of this compact history of Africa, the author simply tells it as he sees it.

Somaliland is an example of a territory that has fulfilled the conditions that are pre-requisite for state recognition in the international system. Somaliland is however, not recognised as a state. Questions abound about why Somaliland finds itself in this situation when there are territories which obtained recognition after fulfilling a fraction of what Somaliland has achieved. This study contributes to answering the aforementioned questions. This study has certain objectives. It delved into the examination of the criteria that is used for the recognition of states in the international system. It also analyses the role of intergovernmental organizations in the non-recognition of Somaliland. The objective of this study is also to make an assessment of the nature of interactions between Somaliland, and other actors in the international system.

The security concerns of the United Nations today extend far beyond what the writers of the 1945 Charter could have imagined. As a result, the UN has been compelled to reconsider the parameters of what constitutes a threat to international peace and security, and what it means to be safe and secure in the twenty-first century. This text critically assesses the capacity of the UN to evolve in response to changing notions of security, and examines the complex history of people, places and politics that have helped shape this important global actor.

*Includes pictures *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "Without dignity there is no liberty, without justice there is no dignity, and without independence there are no free men." - Patrice Lumumba The modern history of Africa was, until very recently, written on behalf of the indigenous races by the white man, who had forcefully entered the continent during a particularly hubristic and dynamic phase of European history. In 1884, Prince Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event-known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885-galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa. The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would granted without evidence of a practical occupation, and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader, a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty. One of the most controversial colonization efforts took place in the Congo, which still conjures up contrasting images of jungles, wildlife, warlords, civil wars, blood diamonds, and the ongoing anarchy of ethnic and tribal warfare. Indeed, the vast expanse of Congo remains one of the most enigmatic and little-known regions of Africa. It is also, undeniably, the original African failed state. It has suffered generations of warlord rule, inter-ethnic violence and insecurity, particularly in the remote and isolated east of the country. The original name of the region derives from the Kingdom of Kongo, a pre-colonial power that ruled a limited region surrounding, and extended south of, the mouth of the Congo River. The first Europeans to discover the mouth of the Congo River were the Portuguese, who incrementally explored the coast of Africa throughout the late 15th century and established diplomatic and trade relations with the Kongo Kingdom before assuming control of what later became Portuguese West Africa, and later still Angola. At that point in history, the European trading powers were only really interested in trade, most particularly the Atlantic Slave Trade, and there was little incentive to penetrate the interior to any depth. The Portuguese made no particular effort, therefore, to explore the Congo River any further inland than the Crystal Mountains or the extensive region of rapids that tended to shield the interior from the coast. For generations the Portuguese simply traded off the coast, while what lay beyond in the dark interior remained a matter of myth and speculation. It was in the nature of Belgium's withdrawal from Africa that power was essentially handed over to the first in line to receive it. Very little of the careful preparation that characterized the British withdrawal from Africa was evident in Congo, in major part due to the fact that the Belgian system of administration allowed for no phased entry of Congolese employees into the executive level, so there was no one trained or experienced in running a government who was in a position to take over from the departing Belgians. The same, indeed, was true in the armed forces. As it turned out, the first in line to take power was a tall, stern-featured ideologue by the name of Patrice Lumumba. Though he was still just 35, his life story was already one full of ideology, politics, and chaos, and things would only get more turbulent once he became the Congo's leader. Patrice Lumumba: The Life and Legacy of the Pan-African Politician Who Became Congo's First Prime Minister looks at one of the most important African leaders of the 20th century.

Death in the Congo is a gripping account of a murder that became one of the defining events in postcolonial African history. It is no less the story of the untimely death of a national dream, a hope-filled vision very different from what the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of the Congo became in the second half of the twentieth century. When Belgium relinquished colonial control in June 1960, a charismatic thirty-five-year-old African nationalist, Patrice Lumumba, became prime minister of the new republic. Yet stability immediately broke down. A mutinous Congolese Army spread havoc, while Katanga Province in southeast Congo seceded altogether. Belgium dispatched its military to protect its citizens, and the United Nations soon intervened with its own peacekeeping troops. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, both the Soviet Union and the United States maneuvered to turn the crisis to their Cold War advantage. A coup in September, secretly aided by the UN, toppled Lumumba’s government. In January 1961, armed men drove Lumumba to a secluded corner of the Katanga bush, stood him up beside a hastily dug grave, and shot him. His rule as Africa’s first democratically elected leader had lasted ten weeks. More than fifty years later, the murky circumstances and tragic symbolism of Lumumba’s assassination still trouble many people around the world. Emmanuel Gerard and Bruce Kuklick pursue events through a web of international politics, revealing a tangled history in which many people—black and white, well-meaning and ruthless, African, European, and American—bear responsibility for this crime.

Congo, ancienne colonie belge, dès l'accès à l'indépendance du territoire, un brave et dévoué leader politique du nom de Patrice Emery Lumumba avait remporté les élections et promu Premier Ministre du pays. En tant que tout Premier Ministre de la République démocratique du Congo, le garant nouvellement élu à la tête de l'État et remplit de dévotion optait pour un avenir prometteur pour le peuple congolais. Il était dès lors motivé à mener à bien tout ce qui concernait le bien être des Congolais. La motivation du Premier Ministre était considérée comme des méthodes déloyales aux yeux des colons pour qui Lumumba devenait encombrant concernant leurs intérêts représentés au Congo, suite à son son discours du jour de l'indépendance, le 30 Juin 1960. Depuis cette date, plusieurs complots ont été manigancés contre lui afin de porter atteinte à sa vie privée. Ces manigances n'ont pas porté fruit, car ont été dans la majeure partie déjouées. Le nouvel État démocratique a été depuis le 14 Septembre de la même année vu comme un État défaillant dû aux différentes manifestations populaires et administratives régulièrement observées sur le territoire. Quelques temps après, les forces de Mobutu soutenues par la CIA mettent aux arrêts le Premier Ministre Lumumba, le 1er Décembre 1960 et sera gardé par les troupes de Nations Unies. Plus tard, Lumumba est remis aux mains de son rival, Moïse Tshombe, à Elisabethville dans le Katanga. À son arrivée, Lumumba est inhumainement battu par la coalition des forces du Katanga et des Belges. Le 17 Janvier 1961, le tout Premier Ministre de la République démocratique du Congo, Patrice Emery Lumumba est froidement abattu par plusieurs assassins. Après une période de 61 années passée en Belgique, les restes de dent de Patrice Lumumba sont rendus à la RDC pour une cérémonie d'enterrement qui a eu lieu le 30 Juin 2022 à Kinshasa.

Après plusieurs années de troubles sociopolitiques en Côte d'Ivoire, les Ivoiriens sont conviés de nouveau à honorer la voie des urnes au cours de la nouvelle année 2023. Cette compétition politique consiste à élir ou reconduire les anciens tout comme les nouveaux maires et administrateurs régionaux des différentes communes de la ville d'Abidjan ainsi que les circonscriptions et régions à l'échelle nationale. Les élections municipales et régionales prévues pour Mars 2023 sont reportées au mois d'Octobre de la même année. Cependant, les préparatifs en vue de conduire à bien ces scrutins se déroulent dans un climat de méfiance. Les pièces d'identité et autres attributs répondant aux exigences qui garantissent un vote municipal et régional apaisé sont plus ou moins réunis dans l'ensemble. Les partis politiques sont en plein dans la réorganisation de bureaux administratifs pour la nomination des candidats aptes à représenter dignement et valablement l'organisation politique pour une victoire excomptée. Les sympathisants de parti politique eux, à leur tour répondent vivement présents aux différents meetings et réunions de sections de base et nationale. Les campagnes électorales auront lieu au mois d'Octobre bien avant les compétitions des urnes. Ayant toujours en esprit des graves violences et de pertes en vie humaines et de dégâts matériels lors du déroulement des scrutins de 2010 et de 2020, la société civile ivoirienne est plus ou moins avertie des méfaits de manque de civisme, d' étique et morale. La Côte d'Ivoire qui depuis plus de trois décennies est victime de clivages sociaux se doit de s'entenir aux règles strictement démocratiques au sens propre du terme pour des scrutins pacifiques comparativement aux précédents. L'année 2023 doit constituer un signe annonciateur de la réconciliation pour nation ivoirienne qui jadis avait pour symbole la paix.

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize, King Leopold’s Ghost is the true and haunting account of Leopold's brutal regime and its lasting effect on a ruined nation. With an introduction by award-winning novelist Barbara Kingsolver. In the late nineteenth century, when the great powers in Europe were tearing Africa apart and seizing ownership of land for themselves, King Leopold of Belgium took hold of the vast and mostly unexplored territory surrounding the Congo River. In his devastatingly barbarous colonization of this area, Leopold stole its rubber and ivory, pummelled its people and set up a ruthless regime that would reduce the population by half. While he did all this, he carefully constructed an image of himself as a deeply feeling humanitarian. King Leopold's Ghost is the inspiring and deeply moving account of a handful of missionaries and other idealists who travelled to Africa and unwittingly found themselves in the middle of a gruesome holocaust. Instead of turning away, these brave few chose to stand up against Leopold. Adam Hochschild brings life to this largely untold story and, crucially, casts blame on those responsible for this atrocity. 'All the tension and drama that one would expect in a good novel' - Robert Harris, author of Fatherland
