  • UK Overseas Territories
    INFORMATION PAPER United Kingdom Overseas Territories - Toponymic Information United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), also known as British Overseas Territories (BOTs), have constitutional and historical links with the United Kingdom, but do not form part of the United Kingdom itself. The Queen is the Head of State of all the UKOTs, and she is represented by a Governor or Commissioner (apart from the UK Sovereign Base Areas that are administered by MOD). Each Territory has its own Constitution, its own Government and its own local laws. The 14 territories are: Anguilla; Bermuda; British Antarctic Territory (BAT); British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT); British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Falkland Islands; Gibraltar; Montserrat; Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands; Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha; South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands; Turks and Caicos Islands; UK Sovereign Base Areas. PCGN recommend the term ‘British Overseas Territory Capital’ for the administrative centres of UKOTs. Production of mapping over the UKOTs does not take place systematically in the UK. Maps produced by the relevant territory, preferably by official bodies such as the local government or tourism authority, should be used for current geographical names. National government websites could also be used as an additional reference. Additionally, FCDO and MOD briefing maps may be used as a source for names in UKOTs. See the FCDO White Paper for more information about the UKOTs. ANGUILLA The territory, situated in the Caribbean, consists of the main island of Anguilla plus some smaller, mostly uninhabited islands. It is separated from the island of Saint Martin (split between Saint-Martin (France) and Sint Maarten (Netherlands)), 17km to the south, by the Anguilla Channel.

III (Apr. 2014), PP 137-149 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Ethnicity, Development and the Dynamics of Political Domination in Southern Matabeleland Clifford Mabhena Institute of Development Studies- National University of Science and Technology-Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Abstract: This article argues that the hegemony of the Shona people in Zimbabwe has been largely influenced by ethnicity and the quest to dominate Matabeleland politically, socially and economically. Development marginalisation of Matabeleland region, I argue has been influenced by ethnicity and politics of revenge. The study used ethnography to collect data and hence in-depth interviews were used as data collection tools. The results of the study indicate that Matabeleland has been largely dominated by the Shona ethnic group, and arguments advanced by scholars for this dominance, it is argued, Ndebele dominated the Shona people in the 19th and 20th centuries. This was due to conquest by the marauding Ndebele warriors under the leadership of King Mzilikazi and latter on King Lobhengula. The ascendance of the Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANUPF) in the 1980 independence elections opened the gates for the ascendancy of the Shona people as the party was pre-dominantly Shona speaking. The march to state house by the ZANUPF dominated party created a lot of tension between the two ethnic groups; Ndebele and Shona, and hence the lashing out of the fifth brigade in 1983 and 1984 in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces of the country. Key words: Hegemony, ethnicity, internal colonisation, marginalisation I.

  • Zimbabwe Community COP20
    COMMUNITY COP20 ZIMBABWE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES PEPFAR COUNTRY OPERATIONAL PLAN 2020 Introduction Civil society and people living with and affected by HIV in Zimbabwe appreciate the increased PEPFAR budget support in COP20 by US$63m. Zimbabwe remains committed to ending HIV/AIDS by 2030 despite its current social, economic and political challenges. While Zimbabwe is celebrated for achieving more with less, the operating environment has deteriorated significantly over the past 12 months. Power outage, cash and fuel shortages have made project implementation costly and unsustainable. Throughout this period, disbursements to health remained unpredictable and below budget allocation with just over 80% of the budget allocated being disbursed. In 2018, 64% of the Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) budget allocation for Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) was for salaries according to the Resource Mapping Report, 20191. This leaves the larger burden of important health system components (e.g. commodity needs and distribution, laboratory sample transportation, and health facility operational costs, etc.) in the hands of external funding from donors.

  • Food and Respiratory Allergy in Zimbabwe
    Food and Respiratory Allergy in Zimbabwe Professor Elopy Sibanda Asthma Allergy and Immune Dysfunction Clinic Zimbabwe [email protected] Introduction • There is a world wide increase in allergic diseases. • First wave was that of inhaled allergies and these were documented by the series of ISAAC studies. Small studies in Zimbabwe were concurrent. – Kambarami et al. 1999; Sibanda, 1999; Westritschnig et al., 2003 • Second wave is emerging and being recognized in Europe, North America and Asia Boyce et al, 2010; Wandg and Simpson • Evidence from Africa is limited. • This presentation will draw from the experiences of the Asthma Allergy and Immune Dysfunction Clinic, a private sector clinic in Harare Zimbabwe. Background • Few studies of food and respiratory allergy in Africa • Limitations are a result of limited numbers of specialists and interested physicians – No academic departments of allergy in many countries. • The absence of allergy reports does not reflect the absence of disease. This report • Report focuses on patients whose symptoms were severe enough to warrant referral to a specialist. • Data do not represent a population survey. Patients • 981 patients • Born between 1920 and 2013 • Presented for diagnosis and management of suspected allergic diseases • Report audits the allergic diagnoses entertained Clinical Conditions at Presentation • Allergic rhinitis • Asthma • Allergic conjunctivitis • Atopic dermatitis • Urticaria/angioedema • Suspected food allergies (gluten, etc.) Immunological basis of allergy • Diseases of the immune system respect the immunological sequence of events. • Allergic symptoms are preceded by the elaboration of immune responses to an allergen source. No allergen, no allergic disease! • The key intervention in allergology is: 1. to identify and 2.

  • St Helena, an Island Between’: Multiple Migrations, Small Island Resilience, and Survival
    Island Studies Journal, 16(1), 2021, 173-189 ‘St Helena, an island between’: Multiple migrations, small island resilience, and survival Charlotte Parker University of Gloucestershire, UK [email protected] Abstract: St Helena is a non-sovereign British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean. When full British citizenship was removed in 1981, migration destinations were reduced to Ascension Island and the Falkland Islands. The islanders of St Helena are not only transnational; they are trans-islander. With the return of citizenship in 2002, many St Helenians migrated to the UK, depleting the population on the island, creating doubts regarding the island’s future. Whilst the islanders defended their British national identity, they simultaneously questioned it. This paper demonstrates how although St Helena officially economically relies on the British Government, the islanders themselves support their island through economic remittances. This paper offers an insight into how communities survive during times when their national identity is ruptured. The St Helenian community remains intact; the islanders have ensured this. A suit of Bourdieu’s concepts have been utilised for a theoretically driven understanding of islandness. Islander identity is formed as outward- looking desiring opportunity, freedom of movement and capital, and inward-looking with a strong sense of feeling and attachment to the island. Continuity and survival for this small island community is composed of migration, shift, and rupture.
