October 10 2020 Page 2 Nigerian protests go global On Friday, the most trending term on Twitter – worldwide – was #EndSARS. This caused some confusion in South Africa, where the acronym stands for the South African Revenue Service. No, South Africans, you still have to pay your taxes. In Nigeria, SARS stands for the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. They are meant to be the country’s elite police unit, but have been repeatedly implicated in intimidation, harassment, extortion, assault and murder (see our report on p6). In protests and sit-ins across the country – pictured above – Nigerians have made it clear that enough is enough. So far, however, even the police minister has been unable to shut SARS down.

El Hadj Omar, de son vrai nom Omar Saidou Tall, est né entre 1794 et 1797 à Alwar, près de Guédé dans le département de Podor. Son père se nommait Saidou, fils de Uthman, fils de Makhtar, fils d' Ahmad Samba de la grande famille des Tall. Il était le quatrième fils de son père et le huitième de sa mère. Celle-ci avait pour nom Sokhna Adama. Omar Saidou Tall appartient à la précieuse lignée des Tooroodo et à ce titre s'initia très tôt à la culture coranique. L'ethnie à laquelle appartenait Omar Saidou Tall avait adhéré depuis 1776 à la confrérie des Qadriyas. Il reçoit de sa famille une instruction religieuse solide et apprend l'arabe. Il complète sa formation par des voyages auprès des Maures de la confrérie des Qadriya au Tagant et à Walata. A 23 ans, El Hadj Omar entreprend le pélerinage à la Mecque. Le voyage dure treize ans. Il se déplace ainsi entre le Caire, la Mecque, Médine et Jérusalem. Il séjourne quelques années à Médine, ce qui lui permet d'approfondir ses connaissances du Coran, de la culture coranique et de l'arabe. Pendant son séjour dans les lieux saints de l'islam, El Hadj Omar fait la connaissance du khalife Cheikh Muhammad Al Ghali, disciple d'Ahmad Al Tidjani, qui va exercer sur lui une influence déterminante.

  • L'empire Toucouleur. 1848-1897
    Yves-J. Saint-Martin L'Empire toucouleur 1848-1897 Le livre africain 13, rue de Sèvres, Paris-50 (c) Le livre africain, Paris, 1970. A M. Gabriel DER/EN, à qui ce petit livre doit beaucoup. Avant-Propos Ce petit livre a pour objet de combler une lacune et de réviser un procès. Combler une lacune : il n'y a pas d'étude récente et suivie, en français, sur le sujet que nous abordons ici. On trouvera, certes, bon nombre d'articles de détail, des récits déjà anciens, mais pas de travail d'ensemble sur cet Empire toucouleur dont cependant tous les manuels d'histoire, et pas seulement en Afrique, rappellent l'existence. Réviser un procès : beaucoup de ce que l'on a pu écrire, en France surtout, sur El Hadj Omar et Ahmadou, est entaché de parti pris, parfois même de partialité haineuse et chauvine, marque d'une époque où l'on ven- geait sur le Niger les insultes subies sur le Rhin. La plume des chroniqueurs s'est souvent montrée injuste, les jugements hâtifs abondent, l'incompréhen- sion est étendue. Archives en mains, et avec l'aide des traditions recueillies du Fouta-Toro au Masina, ce livre tente de voir clair dans une histoire souvent embrouillée à plaisir, et de rétablir une vérité longtemps obscurcie. Nous ne prétendons pas avoir fait œuvre définitive ; nous souhai- tons simplement être utile, et que soit reconnue notre sincérité.

It was adopted and championed by the main figures of the resistance to the French colonial penetration : Cheikh Umar al-Futi TALL and Ahmadou Mahdiyu BA who were introduced to it respectively by Mohamed el-Ghali in Medina and Mohamed el- Hafez, and Id-on-Ali in Mederdra, Mauritania. Mamadou Lamine Dramé from the Gajaaga and Samba Diadana Ac also were figures of the anticolonial resistance who embraced Tijanya. Ahmadou Cheikhou, Cheikh Umar TALL's successor and eldest son, too was a tijane anticolonial hero whom Archinard's men killed in 1891, after his empire had gone through a long period of turmoil. This permitted the French, ranging from Faidherbe to Jauréguibéry and to Archinard, to invent the myth of the so-called "Tijane League" hostile to France and to Christianity, to which they wanted to oppose a "malinkese - i. e. animist - league". Provoking the return of the emigres, the fall of the Omarian Empire after the capture of Nioro in 1891 paradoxically resulted in the brotherhood being propagated and deeply sealed in Senegal.

  • The Political Impact of Microfinance in Senegal
    Economic Empowerment and Political Participation: The Political Impact of Microfinance in Senegal Patrice Z. Howard Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 ©2012 Patrice Z. Howard All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Economic Empowerment and Political Participation: The Political Impact of Microfinance in Senegal Patrice Z. Howard In recent years there has been significant attention paid to microfinance not only as an anti-poverty and economic empowerment tool, but also as a socially transformative process by which poor and marginalized men and women can become empowered to change the social landscape and power structures in the societies in which they live. More technically, Microfinance refers to an industry that offers a range of financial services including small loans (micro-credit), savings, insurance products and more to markets not previously serviced with banks or other formal lending institutions. In an era in which international development is linked to transforming undemocratic societies, an important question for social scientists is how and whether economic development programs affect the political behavior and attributes of program participants. This study addresses that question in the context of microfinance and explores whether participation in microfinance programs has affected the political behavior and opinions of microfinance recipients. Microfinance is oft associated with Muhammed Yunus and the Grameen Bank and both became well known when they were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work with the rural poor in Bangladesh in 2006. As a result, many people believe that microfinance began with the Grameen Bank and that most microfinance programs follow the Grameen Bank model of lending to women’s groups who must meet regularly and adhere to a set of stringent rules and requirements set forth by a lending organization.
