  • Guam Guard Mail, Part Two by H
    From the Stamp Specialist: Guam Guard Mail, Part Two by H. F. Bowker (From The 1939 Stamp Specialist, with images added) Continued from SNO June 2012 All the cancellation stamps used by the Guard Mail were destroyed when the affairs of that service were liquidated after 8 April 1931. While no record of the manner of their destruction is available, it is understood that they were burned in the furnace of the Naval Station power plant, in accordance with the terms of Naval Station Order Number 286, announcing the discontinuance of all service on the first anniversary of its establishment. U. S. NAVAL STATION GUAM COMMANDANT’S OFFICE NAVAL STATION ORDER NO. 286. 21 February, 1931. 1. On 8 April, 1931, after one year of satisfactory opera- tion, the Guam Guard Mail will be discontinued, since at that time it will have been replaced, in whole or in part, by service of the U.S. Post Office Department. 2. All unused stamped paper will be turned over to the Naval Government of Guam, without charge, for sale, the proceeds from such sale to be used for the amortization of indebtedness on land and buildings used as public recreation places. All equipment, other than cancellation stamps, will be turned over to the Government of Guam for such use as it may see fit. All cancellation stamps will be destroyed in the pres- ence of the Superintendent of the Guam Guard Mail, in order that their use in the future may be rendered impossible. Willis W. Bradley, Jr. Commander, U. S. Navy, Commandant, U.

  • Mali Overview Print Page Close Window
    World Directory of Minorities Africa MRG Directory –> Mali –> Mali Overview Print Page Close Window Mali Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment The Republic of Mali is a landlocked state in West Africa that extends into the Sahara Desert in the north, where its north-eastern border with Algeria begins. A long border with Mauritania extends from the north, then juts west to Senegal. In the west, Mali borders Senegal and Guinea; to the south, Côte d'Ivoire; to the south-east Burkina Faso, and in the east, Niger. The country straddles the Sahara and Sahel, home primarily to nomadic herders, and the less-arid south, predominately populated by farming peoples. The Niger River arches through southern and central Mali, where it feeds sizeable lakes. The Senegal river is an important resource in the west. Mali has mineral resources, notably gold and phosphorous. Peoples Main languages: French (official), Bambara, Fulfulde (Peulh), Songhai, Tamasheq. Main religions: Islam (90%), traditional religions (6%), Christian (4%). Main minority groups: Peulh (also called Fula or Fulani) 1.4 million (11%), Senoufo and Minianka 1.2 million (9.6%), Soninké (Saracolé) 875,000 (7%), Songhai 875,000 (7%), Tuareg and Maure 625,000 (5%), Dogon 550,000 (4.4%) Bozo 350,000 (2.8%), Diawara 125,000 (1%), Xaasongaxango (Khassonke) 120,000 (1%). [Note: The percentages for Peulh, Soninke, Manding (mentioned below), Songhai, and Tuareg and Maure, as well as those for religion in Mali, come from the U.S. State Department background note on Mali, 2007; Data for Senoufo and Minianka groups comes from Ethnologue - some from 2000 and some from 1991; for Dogon from Ethnologue, 1998; for Diawara and Xaasonggaxango from Ethnologue 1991; Percentages are converted to numbers and vice-versa using the State Department's 2007 estimated total population of 12.5 million.] Around half of Mali's population consists of Manding (or Mandé) peoples, including the Bambara (Bamana) and the Malinké.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Algeria 3. Senegal 4. Soudan 5. Ivory Coast 6. Dahomey 7. French Motivation for Imperialism INTRODUCTION France's experience in Africa was conditioned by two things. First, France had a longstanding interest in the region bordering the Mediterranean Sea thanks to its own coast line between Italy and Spain, its active role in the Crusades and its incorporation into the Roman Empire. Second, France lost most of its original overseas empire in the Seven Years War (1756-1763) and the Napoleonic Wars (1790s-1815) and it Locations mentioned in this reading suffered a major setback in its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War 1 of 6 10/17/16, 1:40 PM The French in West Africa http://courses.wcupa.edu/jones/his312/lectures/fren-occ.htm (1870-1871). Thus, French imperialism was an effort to regain lost power rather than a continuation of previous successes, and its African empire grew out of developments along the North African coast. ALGERIA The French first occupied African soil in Algeria in 1830. Relations between France and Algiers had long been adversarial, such as when Louis XIV ordered the bombardment of Algiers in 1684 as part of an effort to retrieve Christian slaves. The French launched raids against the cities of North Africa's "Barbary Coast" after the Napoleonic Wars, charging that they harbored pirates.
