So n th , y I I NTR OD UCTI ON THE year 1 892 marks the crisis of a struggle in Central Africa between the conflicting forces of the t . re re Eas and the West Between these forces , p sented on the one hand by the Arabs fr om Zan zibar , and on the other by the Europeans from o the mouth of the Congo , a collision had l ng been pending ; and since each was bent upon supre W macy ithin the same area , it was evident that the extinction of one power or the other could alone solve the problem . A body of Arab traders , hunters of slaves and ivory , had long striven to gather to Zanzibar the entire trade of Central Africa ; while the Belgians of the Congo Free State , later in the field , sought to divert the commerce of the Interior to the Congo mouth , and thence , ultimately , to Europe . 2 THE FALL OF THE CONGO ARABS During the present century , many circumstances have combined t o make the Zanzibar Arabs the most noted slave -hunters and slave- dealers in the Of world . their earlier history little is definitely n know , beyond the fact that already in the tenth century there were Arab settlements along the East Coast of Africa . Aft er the discovery of the Cape Road to the Indies, most of these settlements were conquered re by the Portuguese , and were then gradually conquered in the eighteenth and beginning of the of nineteenth centuries by the Imams Muscat . Of this second Arab dominion the most im portant centres were the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba ; and from these islands , as the result of the mingling of Arab and negro blood , a race of black Yet Arabs has sprung. , despite their long occupa tion of the Zanzibar coast and neighbouring dis tricts r , it is only within recent times that the A abs have advanced into the Interior. Some two generations ago the island of Pemba - developed into a great clove plantation , worked by slaves in the manner of the cotton and sugar I NTRODUCT ION 3 of A plantations America . little later , certain of merchants Zanzibar, becoming involved with t o to their creditors , migrated Central Africa f prospect or ivory . Owing to the destruction of their beasts of burden by the tsetse fly , they found it necessary t o employ the natives as porters and thus it arose that blacks were shipped to the - b - of Zanzibar slave market , as a y product the v - i ory trade , at the very time when there was a strong demand for their labour in the clove - planta tions of Pemba . The supply of slaves ultimately became such as to permit of a large export across the seas to the Mohammedan countries of Asia . o to Many of the iv ry and slave hunters , failing o make their f rtunes , or drawn by the spell of a o nomadic life , remained in the Interi r ; and hence there grew up a system o f Arab trade - ro utes and - o o - trade centres, c ntr lled by certain well known o and Arab chiefs . It was along these r utes , with o o the aid , or at times the bstructi n , of the Arabs , o o L o that the Eur pean expl rers of the ake c untry , o the and of the sources of the C ngo and Nile , - travelled , Thus the great trunk route from Baga 4 THE FALL OF TH E CONGO ARABS Un an moyo (opposite to Zanzibar), by Tabora in y yembe , to Ujiji on Tanganyika , was followed L successively by Burton and Speke , ivingstone n and Sta ley , Cameron , and , in part, by Speke . r and Grant An extension of this route f om Ujiji , across Tanganyika , led through the Manyema o Kabambari n c untry , by and Kasongo , to Nya gwe on the Lualaba River. i l So far, European d scovery had fol owed in the track of the Arabs from Zanzibar as a basis .

    GEOTHERMAL RESOURCE INDICATIONS OF THE GEOLOGIC DEVELOPMENT AND HYDROTHERMAL ACTIVITIES OF D.R.C. Getahun Demissie Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, [email protected] ABSTRACT Published sources report the occurrence of more than 135 thermal springs in D.R.C. All occur in the eastern part of the country, in association with the Western rift and the associated rifted and faulted terrains lying to its west. Limited information was available on the characteristics of the thermal features and the natural conditions under which they occur. Literature study of the regional distribution of these features and of the few relatively better known thermal spring areas, coupled with the evaluation of the gross geologic conditions yielded encouraging results. The occurrence of the anomalously large number of thermal springs is attributed to the prevalence of abnormally high temperature conditions in the upper crust induced by a particularly high standing region of anomalously hot asthenosphere. Among the 29 thermal springs the locations of which could be determined, eight higher temperature features which occur in six geologic environments were found to warrant further investigation. The thermal springs occur in all geologic terrains. Thermal fluid ascent from depth is generally influenced by faulting while its emergence at the surface is controlled by the near-surface hydrology. These factors allow the adoption of simple hydrothermal fluid circulation models which can guide exploration. Field observations and thermal water sampling for chemical analyses are recommended for acquiring the data which will allow the selection of the most promising prospects for detailed, integrated multidisciplinary exploration. An order of priorities is suggested based on economic and technical criteria.

  • Islam and the Abolition of Slavery in the Indian Ocean
    Proceedings of the 10th Annual Gilder Lehrman Center International Conference at Yale University Slavery and the Slave Trades in the Indian Ocean and Arab Worlds: Global Connections and Disconnections November 7‐8, 2008 Yale University New Haven, Connecticut Islamic Abolitionism in the Western Indian Ocean from c. 1800 William G. Clarence‐Smith, SOAS, University of London Available online at http://www.yale.edu/glc/indian‐ocean/clarence‐smith.pdf © Do not cite or circulate without the author’s permission For Bernard Lewis, ‘Islamic abolitionism’ is a contradiction in terms, for it was the West that imposed abolition on Islam, through colonial decrees or by exerting pressure on independent states.1 He stands in a long line of weighty scholarship, which stresses the uniquely Western origins of the ending slavery, and the unchallenged legality of slavery in Muslim eyes prior to the advent of modern secularism and socialism. However, there has always been a contrary approach, which recognizes that Islam developed positions hostile to the ‘peculiar institution’ from within its own traditions.2 This paper follows the latter line of thought, exploring Islamic views of slavery in the western Indian Ocean, broadly conceived as stretching from Egypt to India. Islamic abolition was particularly important in turning abolitionist laws into a lived social reality. Muslim rulers were rarely at the forefront of passing abolitionist legislation, 1 Bernard Lewis, Race and slavery in the Middle East, an historical enquiry (New York: Oxford University Press, 1990) pp. 78‐84. Clarence‐Smith 1 and, if they were, they often failed to enforce laws that were ‘for the Englishman to see.’ Legislation was merely the first step, for it proved remarkably difficult to suppress the slave trade, let alone slavery itself, in the western Indian Ocean.3 Only when the majority of Muslims, including slaves themselves, embraced the process of reform did social relations really change on the ground.

    Les Américains dans l’État Indépendant du Congo (EIC). Armor Samuel- Glascow est né dans l’état d’Ohio aux Etats Unis en 1867 et est décédé à Kilonga- Longa en 1896. En 1886 il entre à l’Ecole de médecine de Brooklyn à Long Island et en sort diplômé docteur en médecine en 1891. Il fut successivement attaché à l’hôpital de Long island Collège, puis à l’hôpital de Nrw York. En 1893 il est admis au service de la marine brésilienne en qualité de médecin-chirurgien puis revient à New York s’établir à son compte. En 1906, il offre ses services à l’EIC où il est engagé comme sous-intendant et désigné pour les Stanley-Falls. Il mourut à Kilonga-Longa après quelques mois de présence. Ball Charles Godard né à Louisville dans le Kentucky en 1891 est décédé à Boma en 1897 Employé tout d’abord dans une maison commerciale durant deux années, il entra ensuite au service de la Société de géographie américaine pour laquelle il effectua une randonnée de deux ans comme explorateur sur le fleuve Amazone. En 1896 il est engagé par l’EIC comme commis de troisième classe et désigné pour les Stanley Falls, puis pour la région de Nyangwe. Revenu à La Romée comme commis de 1e classe, en 1897, il est atteint de dysenterie et meurt la même année à Boma. Burke Lindsay Gaines est né à la Nouvelle Orléans en 1870 et est décédé à Goie Kabamba en 1897. Il s’était engagé à Washington au service de l’EIC comme sous-lieutenant de la Force publique et avait été affecté en 1896 au poste de Nyangwe sous les ordres du commandant Michaux qui venait de recevoir la mission de reprendre les opérations contre les révoltés du camp de Luluabourg qui menaçaient de reprendre Gandu.

  • Out of Lake Tanganyika: Endemic Lake Fishes Inhabit Rapids of the Lukuga River
    355 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 22, No. 4, pp. 355-376, 5 figs., 3 tabs., December 2011 © 2011 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Out of Lake Tanganyika: endemic lake fishes inhabit rapids of the Lukuga River Sven O. Kullander* and Tyson R. Roberts** The Lukuga River is a large permanent river intermittently serving as the only effluent of Lake Tanganyika. For at least the first one hundred km its water is almost pure lake water. Seventy-seven species of fish were collected from six localities along the Lukuga River. Species of cichlids, cyprinids, and clupeids otherwise known only from Lake Tanganyika were identified from rapids in the Lukuga River at Niemba, 100 km from the lake, whereas downstream localities represent a Congo River fish fauna. Cichlid species from Niemba include special- ized algal browsers that also occur in the lake (Simochromis babaulti, S. diagramma) and one invertebrate picker representing a new species of a genus (Tanganicodus) otherwise only known from the lake. Other fish species from Niemba include an abundant species of clupeid, Stolothrissa tanganicae, otherwise only known from Lake Tangan- yika that has a pelagic mode of life in the lake. These species demonstrate that their adaptations are not neces- sarily dependent upon the lake habitat. Other endemic taxa occurring at Niemba are known to frequent vegetat- ed shore habitats or river mouths similar to the conditions at the entrance of the Lukuga, viz. Chelaethiops minutus (Cyprinidae), Lates mariae (Latidae), Mastacembelus cunningtoni (Mastacembelidae), Astatotilapia burtoni, Ctenochromis horei, Telmatochromis dhonti, and Tylochromis polylepis (Cichlidae). The Lukuga frequently did not serve as an ef- fluent due to weed masses and sand bars building up at the exit, and low water levels of Lake Tanganyika.

  • The Hydropolitics of Southern Africa: the Case of the Zambezi River Basin As an Area of Potential Co-Operation Based on Allan's Concept of 'Virtual Water'
    THE HYDROPOLITICS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA: THE CASE OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER BASIN AS AN AREA OF POTENTIAL CO-OPERATION BASED ON ALLAN'S CONCEPT OF 'VIRTUAL WATER' by ANTHONY RICHARD TURTON submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject INTERNATIONAL POLITICS at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: DR A KRIEK CO-SUPERVISOR: DR DJ KOTZE APRIL 1998 THE HYDROPOLITICS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA: THE CASE OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER BASIN AS AN AREA OF POTENTIAL CO-OPERATION BASED ON ALLAN'S CONCEPT OF 'VIRTUAL WATER' by ANTHONY RICHARD TURTON Summary Southern Africa generally has an arid climate and many hydrologists are predicting an increase in water scarcity over time. This research seeks to understand the implications of this in socio-political terms. The study is cross-disciplinary, examining how policy interventions can be used to solve the problem caused by the interaction between hydrology and demography. The conclusion is that water scarcity is not the actual problem, but is perceived as the problem by policy-makers. Instead, water scarcity is the manifestation of the problem, with root causes being a combination of climate change, population growth and misallocation of water within the economy due to a desire for national self-sufficiency in agriculture. The solution lies in the trade of products with a high water content, also known as 'virtual water'. Research on this specific issue is called for by the White Paper on Water Policy for South Africa.
