Number 176 September 1995 CSISAFRICA NOTES A publication of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, D.C. Who's Who, and Where A Guide to Key Personalities in U.S.-African Relations In July 1982, the CSIS African Studies Program added a new dimension to its wide range of activities. The title of the first issue of CSIS Africa Notes­ "To Demystify and Unsimplify"-summarized its mission. As I wrote in the introduction, "We will be looking through a variety of prisms at African political configurations, personalities, conflicts, economic pressures, [external relationships), and policy options for the United States." The goal was, and remains in 1995, to deal with the complexities of the African political and economic landscape from the Mediterranean to the Cape with an open mind, not in terms of ideological or other stereotypes. In the 13 years since the 1982 launch, we have published 176 issues. Our subscribers in the United States and over 30 other countries fall generally into the categories whose special needs we sought to serve from the outset: "decision makers, analysts, and trailblazers with Africa-related responsibilities in governments, corporations, the media, research institutions, universities, and other arenas." The lasting relevance of CSIS Africa Notes is documented by the fact that a major publisher (Praeger) has produced three collections of issues in book form: Angola, Mozambique, and the West (1987), South Africa: In Transition to What? (1988), and South Africa: Twelve Perspectives on the Transition (1994). One of the most popular issues published from time to time has been our "Who's Who, and Where" guide to key personalities in official U.S.-African relations. In this 1995 update, we have noted that several ambassadorial changes submitted to Congress by the White House are currently still in various stages of confirmation. The African Studies Program's Bruce Whitehouse compiled the information and designed the format for this edition. M. Herman Yam assembled details on personnel and structural changes in the Department of Defense.

World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the number of Ebola cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had doubled over the past week to total 62 cases. Thirty-five of the patients infected with Ebola have died, including seven health care workers. The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is separate from the worsening Ebola crisis in West Africa. All of the cases in the DRC are localized in Jeera country and can all be traced to one initial case that was reported on August 26th. The new statistics for the Ebola outbreak in the DRC were posted here. On September 11th, Liberian Finance Minister Amara Konneh held a press conference on the impacts of the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, warning that the country is at war with an enemy that it cannot see. Minister Konneh’s remarks echo those delivered last week by Liberian Defense Minister Brownie Samukai, who cautioned that the Ebola crisis poses a serious threat to Liberia’s national existence. Both ministers reported that the epidemic has disrupted the country’s ability to function normally and put further strains on Liberia’s already weak health care infrastructure. Excerpts from both press conferences were highlighted here.

Kent, Department of History, Primary Advisor Dr. Matthew Gerber, Department of History, Honors Council Representative Dr. Paul Shankman, Department of Anthropology, Advisor 1 Introduction On the 7th of April 1994, the small east African country of Rwanda erupted into one of the most deadly and intimate genocides the modern world had ever witnessed. Whilst the western world stood by and watched in just 100 days over 800,000 Rwandans out of a total population of 7 million, were systematically murdered in the most brutal and violent of ways. Those who were targeted made up the country’s minority ethnic group the Tutsis, and moderates from the majority group, the Hutus. For many, the legacy of Rwanda is a monstrous example of extreme pent up ethnic tensions that has its roots in European colonialism. In contrast, I will argue that the events not just of 1994 but also the unrest that proceeded it, arose from a highly complex culmination of long-standing historical tensions between ethnic groups that long pre-dated colonialism. In conjunction, a set of short-term triggers including foreign intervention, civil war, famine, state terrorism and ultimately the assassination of President Habyarimana also contributed to the outburst of genocide in 1994. Whilst it would be easy to place sole responsibility on European colonists for implementing a policy of divide and rule and therefore exacerbating ethnic tensions, it seems to me that genocide is never that cut and dried: it can never be explained by one factor.

Ricci, Ph.D. University of Connecticut 2014 ABSTRACT The primary focus of this study is to explain presidential decision making, specifically whether to intervene militarily or not in a given circumstance in the Post-Cold War era. First, we define military intervention as the deployment of troops and weaponry in active military engagement (not peacekeeping). The cases in which we are interested involve the actual or intended use of force (“boots on the ground”), in other words, not drone attacks or missile strikes. Thus, we substantially reduce the number of potential cases by excluding several limited uses of force against Iraq, Sudan, and Afghanistan in the 1990s. Given the absence of a countervailing force or major power to serve as deterrent, such as the Soviet enemy in the Cold War period, there are potentially two types of military interventions: (1) humanitarian intervention designed to stop potential genocide and other atrocities and (2) the pre-emptive reaction to terrorism or other threats, such as under the Bush Doctrine.

    MINISTRY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION BUDGET SPEECH VOTE 07 FOR THE 2019-2020 FINANCIAL YEAR BY HON. NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITW AH, MP DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER AND MINISTER APRIL 2019 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MIRCO 2019/2020 Budget Speech 1 MOTIVATION FOR THE 201912020 FINANCIAL YEAR FOR VOTE 7IMINISTRY OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND COOPERATION 1. Nine months ago, Namibia lost its first Foreign Minister, Dr. Theo - Ben Gurirab. The Ministry lost its guru of diplomacy and I lost my mentor. The outpouring sympathy and messages of condolence received from all over the world speak to his international standing and contribution to the maintenance of international peace and security and sustainable development. Through the Dr. Theo Ben Gurirab Lecture Series, the Ministry will keep his legacy and teachings alive, thereby assisting the Namibian diplomats in particular, to follow in his footsteps. 2. Having said that, it is indeed a privilege for me to motivate the budget vote of the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation. At this junction, I on behalf of the Deputy Minister, the Special Advisor, Executive Director, Ambassadors and High Commissioners and my own behalf wish to extend our appreciation to H.E. Dr Hage G. Geingob for continuing entrusting us with the responsibility of promoting and protecting Namibia's national interest in the world. Honourable Chairperson of the Whole House Committee, Honourable Members 3. Major changes occurring in the international operating environment not only offers Namibia with new opportunities but also present serious challenges, that have advanced to an extent that we can only ignore them at the peril of our national interest.
