  • Accra: City Scoping Study
    ACCRA: CITY SCOPING STUDY By Ransford A. Acheampong (The University of Manchester) June 2021 ACCRA: CITY SCOPING STUDY 2 Accra is the capital city of Ghana, the national economic centre and the country’s main connection with the global economy.1 The city’s role within the electoral swing region of Greater Accra is vital in deciding who wins the presidential elections, making Accra an important political arena for national political elites. Accra faces complex challenges in key areas, including economic development, housing, energy, water and sanitation and transportation. The city’s vibrant sub-national-level politics is strongly connected to and shaped by national-level politics, acting both as opportunities for and barriers to addressing complex urban challenges. HISTORY Accra’s rise from a trading post to a major coastal urban centre was driven by booming maritime trade with Europeans from the 15th century and the subsequent establishment of castles and forts.2 In 1877 it became the headquarters of the British colonial administration and subsequently the capital of the British Crown Colony, Gold Coast, and then Ghana.3 Rural–urban migration intensified in the period immediately after the Second World War, and a number of migrant towns, squatter settlements and slums emerged. In 1958 the Accra masterplan, ‘Accra: A plan for the town’, was prepared to drive an ambitious modernisation and transformation agenda for the new independent Ghana.4 ACCRA AND GHANA’S URBAN SYSTEM As the capital city, Accra is the most important economic and political centre in Ghana. Officially, Accra today covers the approximately 139.7 km2 administrative area known as the Accra Metropolitan Area (AMA).5 The AMA is the most urbanised area within the Greater Accra Region, one of the 16 administrative regions in Ghana.

  • The Boscaglia Vegetation Complex in Southern Somalia - Sandro Pignatti and Ahmed Mumin Warfa'
    ©Floristisch-soziologische Arbeitsgemeinschaft; www.tuexenia.de; download unter www.zobodat.at The Boscaglia Vegetation Complex in Southern Somalia - Sandro Pignatti and Ahmed Mumin Warfa' - s u m m a r y The boscaglia vegetation complex in Southern Somalia on fossil dunes is composed by 3 asso­ ciations: (a) the Gisekio-Tephrosietum, a xerophilous pasture with dominance of paleotropical weeds; (b) the Acacietim tortili-bussei, a thorny woodland with several Acacia-species and (c) the Justicio-Asystasietum gangeticae with sciaphilous species. Each of them is described in its floristical characters and dynamism. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Als Boscaglia wird ein Vegetationskomplex bezeichnet, der in Süd-Somalia auf fossilen Dünen vorkommt und aus 3 Assoziationen besteht: (a) das Gisekio-Tephrosietum, eine xerophile Weide­ gesellschaft mit Dominanz von paleotropischen Krautarten; (b) das Acacietwn tovtiii-bussei, ein stachliges Gebüsch mit mehreren Acacia-Arten und (c) das Justicio-Asystasietum mit eini­ gen Schattenpflanzen. Jede Gesellschaft wird in ihren floristischen Merkmalen und ihrer Dyna­ mik beschrieben. INTRODUCTION Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is surrounded by a system of sand dunes. This subdesertic landscape is covered by an open community with dominance of several thorny Acacia-species alternating with xerophilous pastures. This vegetation (locally called "boscaglia") is broadly widespread in Southern Soma­ lia and reaches up to the suburbia of the town. During the summer semester 1981, the first of us was appointed as professor of systematic botany at the Agriculture Faculty of the Somali National University, and an investigation of this vegetation was carried out1). The first botanical survey of Southern Somalia was published by ROBECCHI-BRI- CHETTI (1899), and a more detailed study by PAOLI (1916).

  • Somalia - United States Department of State
    Somalia - United States Department of State https://www.state.gov/reports/2020-trafficking-in-persons-report/somalia/ Somalia remains a Special Case for the 18th consecutive year. The country continued to face protracted conflict, insecurity, and ongoing humanitarian crises during the reporting period. The Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) controlled its capital city, Mogadishu, and Federal Member State (FMS) governments retained control over most local capitals across the country. The self-declared independent region of Somaliland and the Puntland FMS retained control of security and law enforcement in their respective regions. The FGS had limited influence outside Mogadishu. The al-Shabaab terrorist group continued to occupy and control rural areas and maintained operational freedom of movement in many other areas in south-central Somalia, which it used as a base to exploit the local population by collecting illegal taxes, conducting indiscriminate attacks against civilian and civilian infrastructure across the country, and perpetrating human trafficking. The FGS focused on capacity building and securing Mogadishu and government facilities from attacks by al-Shabaab. The sustained insurgency by al-Shabaab continued to be the main obstacle to the government’s ability to address human trafficking. The government continued to modestly improve capacity to address most crimes; however, it demonstrated minimal efforts in all regions on prosecution, protection, and prevention of trafficking during the reporting year. The FGS, Somaliland, and Puntland authorities sustained minimal efforts to combat trafficking during the reporting period. Due to the protracted campaign to degrade al-Shabaab and establish law and order in Somalia, law enforcement, prosecutorial personnel, and judicial offices remained understaffed, undertrained, and lacked capacity to effectively enforce anti-trafficking laws.

  • American Committee on Africa a Report on the All African People's Conference Held in Accra, Ghana December 8-13, 1958 by George
    American Committee on Africa A Report on the All African People's Conference Held in Accra, Ghana December 8-13, 1958 by George M. Houser It was my privilege to attend the All African People's Conference held in Accra in December as a fraternal delegate. This report on the Conference represents only my own observations and opinions. Four others attended the Conference as representatives of the American Committee on Africa:William Scheinman, a New Jersey business man and member of the ACOA Executive Board, Frank Montero of New York, also an ACOA Executive Board member, Dr. Homer A. Jack of Chicago, ACOA National Committee member, and Richard Sklar, who has been in Africa several months on a fellowship from the Ford Foundation. It should be mentioned that there were a goodly number of Americans at the Conference as individual observers or as fraternal delegates from organizations. Among these were Congressman Charles Diggs of Detroit; Dr. Marguerite Cartwright; . Mrs. Mary-Louise Hooper of San Francisco who became a member of the South African delegation; Claude Barnett of the Associated Negro Press and his wife Etta Moten Barnett; Dr. Horace Mann Bond, Mercer Cook, and John Davis representing the American Society on African Culture; Irving Brown and Maida Springer of the AFL-CIO; Robert Keith of the African-American Institute; Mrs. Paul Robeson; Mrs. W. E. B. Dubois; Alphaeus Hunton, formerly Secretary of the now defunct Council on African Affairs; James Lawson of the United African Nationalist Movement, the remnant of Garveyism in the United States. Thus it can be seen that Americans at the Conference came from a number of varying backgrounds and represented differing political tendencies.
