Extractions: Morocco is the tantalising lower lip on the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea, a Muslim land so rich in mystique it seems to hover like a magic carpet somewhere between myth and reality. Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh...just the names of these cities and towns should stir a hint of spice in the nostrils of the most geographically challenged. Many Moroccan destinations have been mythologised, and for good reason, but the more jaded traveller may well moan about the extinction of the 'real' Morocco. Still others will extol the country's unique living history, its shimmering light, its art. The truth lies somewhere in between. Morocco is the ideal starting point for the traveller to Africa. An easy hop from Europe, it can be a friendly, hectic and stimulating place to get around in. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, and jewellery. The country's prime produce (if you don't count the hashish) is leather - said to be the softest in the world.

Extractions: Local Batammaliba histories provide us with considerable insight into the earliest forms of Batammaliba architecture. In the village of Koutanliakou, for example, historical accounts suggest that the community founders lived for a time after their arrival, not in houses, but rather in the numerous caves which pierce the rocky mountain ledges situated to the east of this village. Earthen walls were built along the fronts of these caves, it is said, to provide some protection from wild animals and rain. In other towns, the first domiciles are said to have been constructed from forked wooden posts. In form, these houses appear to have been similar to the "open shelter" koufikou structures, which are placed in front of houses in the present era to provide noontime shade. The principal difference between these koufikou structures and the yard shelters used contemporaneously is the incorporation of a woven straw roof, a covering which would have been necessary if millet stalks (which are used for this purpose today) were not available. In still other village histories, the first residents are said to have lived in small round houses constructed by placing poles upright in a circle and filling in the opening with earth or with large squares of plaited straw.

Extractions: AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

Extractions: Helping Grass-roots Leaders Manage Effective Ministry A Passion for the Unreached Peoples By Patrick Johnstone That we have both the information and also the resources to see the beginning of the end by the end of this Millennium in 5 years time. My question is rather, do we have a deep faith in God, His enabling grace and a willingness to pay the price for this to be achieved? A Brief History of Unreached People Thinking Just over two hundred years ago two world-changing events took place - the French Revolution and the launch of the modern missions movement. The first brought political ideology to the fore which eclipsed the preceding centuries of dominance of ethnicity and religious conformity and gave us a range of new terms - colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, Communism, secularism. The second brought the gospel to a world in ferment with new ideas, new political systems and the modern nation-state. This time of change and upheaval became fertile soil for the rapid spread of the Gospel over these 200 years. Church growth has accelerated over this period. The last 30 years have been the most dramatic, but the last 10 years of this period even more so. However the dominance of the nation-state over these 200 years appears to be ending. The collapse of Communism as a viable and persuasive system in 1989 was the most dramatic evidence of this. Ideologies have lost their luster. The power of ethnic nationalism and ethno-religious intolerance is daily portrayed in the media. The Kurdish question, the ethnic dismemberment of Yugoslavia, the USSR and possibly even Russia itself, the Somalia and Rwanda debacles, the wars in Sri Lanka, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Myanmar, guerrilla insurgency in Northern Ireland and Mexico are all evidence of this. We have to recognize these realities. For too long we have been locked into thinking in terms of countries and geographical boundaries because this is the way the world has been. We have to think ethnically and globally in our strategy for the evangelization of the world.

Extractions: Born in 1950 and trained as a soldier in Cameroon and Morocco, Blaise Campaore served under Thomas Sankara as minister of state to the presidency, before deposing and executing him in 1987. He disarmed local militias and, despite his reputed left-wing leanings, embarked on a program of privatization and austerity measures sponsored by the International Monetary Fund. After officially eschewing socialism, he was elected president unopposed in 1991, and re-elected by a landslide in 1998.

The Ministry of Communication and Culture supervises the administration of all media. The Superior Council of Information also regulates broadcasters. There are about a dozen private radio stations, one private television channel and numerous independent publications. Libel and defamation laws have been invoked occasionally. However, normally the media, which is often critical of the government, operates with little interference.

Extractions: Geographical and cultural divisions remain despite the continuing migration of Ivoirians and foreigners from the subregion within the country, moving from east to west and north to south in search of fertile cash crop zones (largely for coffee and cocoa), commercial activities, urbanization, and education. Such population movement has been a source of productivity and growth, cultural diversity and international tourist attraction, as well as socio-political advances and setbacks. As part of this document, an article published in the Journal of Democracy, (2001(July), Vol. 12, no. 3, pp.63-72) in which I explain the persistence of the ethnic factor in national politics is attached. First, the U.S. should support the spirit of the Linas-Marcoussis Agreement signed by nine participating political parties and rebel groups on January 24, 2003. The discussions leading to the Agreement were witnessed by representatives of several African states, international financial institutions ( (World Bank, IMF) and global and regional organizations (UN, EU, AU, ECOWAS) The roundtable was held after the failure of the current regime led by President Gbagbo to respond to interventions by African heads of state and ECOWAS mediation. President Jacques Chirac and his government should be praised for accepting to intervene, both militarily to save lives and diplomatically by facilitating discussions that will, hopefully, lead to a peaceful settlement of hostilities and the appointment of a functional government of reconciliation.
