  • Oman, Zanzibar, Their Relationship – and Our Trip
    Oman, Zanzibar, Their Relationship – and Our Trip http://realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient/Misc/True_Negros/Assorted/Oman_Zanzibar_Sultanate.htm Oman and Zanzibar are separated by 2,400 of the Indian Ocean. Oman is in the Middle East (in Asia); Zanzibar part of Africa. So why is the University of Arizona Center for Middle Eastern Studies’ 2016 Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad combining these two regions? Historically, the two areas have been in close contact with each other and provide an interesting case study of cross-regional relations. The curriculum-development program will explore these political, linguistic, and religious ties and will develop ways to integrate the information into elementary and secondary classes. From the 1st century CE, traders from the Arabian peninsula – as well as Persia and India – were in regular contact with Zanzibar and the East African coast; such cultural and trade relations increased by the 11th century. Political ties date from the early 1500s when both Oman and Zanzibar came under Portuguese colonial rule. Nearly 200 years later, Omanis overthrew Portuguese control and took charge of both Oman and Zanzibar. The latter became a center of Arab trade in slaves, spices (particularly cloves), and ivory. Many Arabs moved to the island, bringing with them Ibadi Islam, a very small school of Islamic thought which is the main faith of Oman and an important force in Zanzibar. By the 19th century, Zanzibar had become a center of Islamic scholarship: a contact zone between Ibadi Islam and other variants of the Muslim faith. The height of Arab association with Zanzibar occurred in 1840 when Omani ruler Sayyid Said bin Sultan al-Busaid moved his capital from Muscat, Oman, to Stone Town, Zanzibar.

    Isiah Brandt Sumner-Fredericksburg High School Sumner, IA Burundi, Factor 20: Farm to Market Burundi: Building roads for produce to be transported “Now, 50 years after the beginning of the Green Revolution, we again need Dr. Borlaug’s legacy and leadership. For in the coming decades we must confront the single greatest challenge in all human history: whether we can sustainably feed the more than 9 billion people who will be on our planet by the year 2050. Greater than going to the moon; greater than preventing nuclear war; greater than curing cancer, I would argue it is the most difficult issue we've ever confronted." -World Food Prize President Ambassador Kenneth Quinn Why are people hungry today? In a time of prosperity, why are people hungry? The technology and information are available to have a very efficient and prosperous world, but people are still hungry. How can we utilize what we have to prevent poverty? Why aren’t we? There are barriers. The barriers must be knocked down. People are preventing themselves from having a prosperous country by putting up barriers for themselves. This is what Burundi’s government has done for its people. A lot of the barriers were not formed for what they are currently doing, but the government has done very little to remove them. They know about them, but why is nothing still being done? Is there an answer? Do they know the question? From my prospective, the question is; why are people still hungry? Steps may be taken to solve the problem or question.
