  • On Adaptation in Military Operations: Tinkering and Bottom–Up Perspectives
    AARMS Vol. 13, No. 3 (2014) 389–396. On Adaptation in Military Operations: Tinkering and Bottom–Up Perspectives 1 JOBBÁGY Zoltán A biological perspective has much to offer for a better understanding of military operations. Biological evolution and military operations feature perpetual novelty and conditions far from equilibrium featuring dynamics that demand continuous adaptation. The author suggests that comprehending military operations in an evo- lutionary framework requires a shift from mechanics and engineering to biology and adaptation. Thus the emphasis moves from statics to dynamics, from time–free to time–prone reality, from determinism to probability and chance, and from uni- formity to variation and diversity, with all the consequences. Introduction A biological perspective on human behaviour has much to offer for a better understanding of the relationship between co-operation and conflict. Regardless whether one sees war and military operations through the eyes of Clausewitz, approach it as a complex adaptive sys- tem, or examine it along attributes that display similarities with biological evolution, there are timeless and innate characteristics. It is not difficult to conclude that both biological evolution and military operations are intrinsically complex, and primordial violence is at the heart of both. [1] Military operations indeed can be understood as a complex adaptive system in which the system properties emerge from the interactions of the many components at lower levels. The abundance of dispersed interactions in military operations indicates a mechanism that often lacks global control, but feeds from cross–cutting hierarchical setup. Similar to biolog- ical evolution, military operations also feature perpetual novelty and far from equilibrium dynamics that demand continual adaptation.

  • Crisis in the Central African Republic: Is It a Religious War in a Godforsaken Country Or Something Else?
    AARMS Vol. 13, No. 3 (2014) 457–476. Crisis in the Central African Republic: Is it a religious war in a godforsaken country or something else? 1 TOMOLYA János The Central African Republic is a landlocked country located in the centre of Afri- ca. Bordered by seven other countries in the heart of the African continent, it was ruled for most of the years after independence from France in 1960 by the self– styled “Emperor”, Jean–Bédel Bokassa. A series of coups followed, with power changing hands frequently. With more than 80 different ethnic groups, a mix of Christians, Muslims and followers of indigenous faiths, the country is notoriously difficult to rule, despite having a population of only 4.6 million. Despite significant deposits of gold, diamonds and uranium, and vast troves of timber, it is among the poorest nations on Earth, sitting just seven places from the bottom of the UN’s human development index. Chronic poor governance and lack of an efficient state has denied the wider population the benefits of the country’s potential riches. [1] Chaos in the Central African Republic (CAR) is about power, not religion, this is neither jihad nor crusade. Fighting in CAR is over political power and money, with the capitol city Bangui as the prize. Keywords: Central African Republic, diamond, gold, poor governance, inefficient state, political power, rebels, anti–rebels, humanitarian crisis; Introduction The Central African Republic is a landlocked country in central Africa, with a population of 4.5 million. The Central African Republic is often called a forgotten country, but that not quite right.

Some special people helped carry the burden, and some nearly had to carry me. I want to thank everyone who had a part in seeing the work through. Thanks to family and friends who supported and encouraged me. There are some special friends who were very directly involved with the writing of the thesis, and who I’d like to thank particularly. My committee consisted of Dr. Donald A. Burquest, Dr. Thomas N. Headland, and Dr. Carol V. McKinney. Each member put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into the redaction of the text, and each one contributed greatly from his or her specialization: Dr. Burquest in linguistics and African languages, Dr. McKinney in anthropology and African languages, and Dr. Headland in anthropology and hunter-gatherers. The thesis could not have been as ambitious as it was without the dedicated work and wide area or expertise these scholars brought into it.

  • A Colletion of 100 Sango (Dr Congo)
    A COLLETION OF 100 SANGO (D R CONGO) PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By LAUR MWEPU LUIZA African Proverbs Working Group Nairobi, Kenya MAY 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to thank all those who contributed towards the complete on of this document. My greatest thanks go to Fr. Joseph G. Healey, for the financial and moral support. My special thanks go to Cephas Agbemenu, Margaret Ireri, Elias Bushiri Elie, Florent Muepu and Kasse Adelle Christel who devotedly have corrected of 100 Sango proverbs. I also thank all the publishers of the Eton proverbs, whose publications gave me good resource and inspiration to do this work. I appreciate the support of the African Working Group in Nairobi for reviewing the progress of my work during their meetings. A RESEARCH PROPOSAL FOR THE COLLECTION OF 100 SANGO PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By Laur Mwepu Luiza LOCATION The Sango are the Bantu ethnic group inhabiting the Equatorial province in D R Congo they are the minority in comparison to the Nilotes and pigmies in D R Congo. The Sango form a big ethnic group living in the five countries in Africa: Tanzania 165,000 Speakers, Chad 50,000 Speakers, Congo Brazzaville 102,000 Speakers, D R Congo 1400 Speakers and in Centre African Republic 350,000 in Central African Republic (1988 census) users: 4,600,000 in Central African Republic. In the Central African Republic all of the populations speak Sango language and it is a national language. The Sango language originated as a pidgin in the nineteenth century at the eastern part of the Ubangi River basin, as a result of the competitive occupation of that area by representatives of the Congo Free State and the French government.

  • Versions of Kituba's Origin
    DOI 10.1515/jall-2013-0004 JALL 2013; 34(1): 111 – 181 William J. Samarin Versions of Kituba’s origin: Historiography and theory1 Abstract: Casual explanations and thoughtful ones have been given for the emer- gence of Kituba, one of the African-based lingua francas of West Central Africa, but there is still no scholarly work that is based on political, historical, anthropo- logical, and linguistic research to account for the language’s origin and develop- ment. The present contribution is, frst, an overview of various attempts at ex- plaining its origin and development. Second, argued and arguable explanations are examined from diferent perspectives and with data not available before recent research. Finally, the author adds Kituba to his list of African vehicular languages that emerged in the late 19th century, when a signifcant number of auxiliaries – Africans in the majority, foreign and indigenous ones – solved their communication needs by contriving make-shif idioms that quickly gelled as lan- guages. Still far from the work that will hopefully be accomplished by others, this modest study suggests the kind of historiography and linguistic analysis that will helpfully characterize it. Keywords: Bantu grammar, Catholic schools, Congolese jargon, language and colonization, pidgin historiography, porterage, Scheut missionaries William J. Samarin (imeritus): Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto, Canada E-mail: [email protected] 1 An earlier version of this paper profted greatly from a careful reading by Armin Schwegler, Joseph Salomon, John A. Goldsmith (on tone), and two anonymous readers, to whom I am grateful. Too numerous to list are the individuals and organizations who helped me since the beginning of my study of language and colonization in West Central Africa in 1971, but the most important donor was the Social Sciences and Humanites Research Council of Canada.
