  • Kwame Nkrumah and the Pan- African Vision: Between Acceptance and Rebuttal
    Austral: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations e-ISSN 2238-6912 | ISSN 2238-6262| v.5, n.9, Jan./Jun. 2016 | p.141-164 KWAME NKRUMAH AND THE PAN- AFRICAN VISION: BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE AND REBUTTAL Henry Kam Kah1 Introduction The Pan-African vision of a United of States of Africa was and is still being expressed (dis)similarly by Africans on the continent and those of Afri- can descent scattered all over the world. Its humble origins and spread is at- tributed to several people based on their experiences over time. Among some of the advocates were Henry Sylvester Williams, Marcus Garvey and George Padmore of the diaspora and Peter Abrahams, Jomo Kenyatta, Sekou Toure, Julius Nyerere and Kwame Nkrumah of South Africa, Kenya, Guinea, Tanza- nia and Ghana respectively. The different pan-African views on the African continent notwithstanding, Kwame Nkrumah is arguably in a class of his own and perhaps comparable only to Mwalimu Julius Nyerere. Pan-Africanism became the cornerstone of his struggle for the independence of Ghana, other African countries and the political unity of the continent. To transform this vision into reality, Nkrumah mobilised the Ghanaian masses through a pop- ular appeal. Apart from his eloquent speeches, he also engaged in persuasive writings. These writings have survived him and are as appealing today as they were in the past. Kwame Nkrumah ceased every opportunity to persuasively articulate for a Union Government for all of Africa. Due to his unswerving vision for a Union Government for Africa, the visionary Kwame Nkrumah created a microcosm of African Union through the Ghana-Guinea and then Ghana-Guinea-Mali Union.

  • Deeper Season 4 Episode 5 Notes
    1 of 5 Season 4 The Doctrine of the Church The Priesthood of Believers The Mission of the Church Church History The Reformation Calvinism and Arminianism Acknowledgements: Wayne Grudem Rod Smith Howard Vos 2 of 5 Episode 5 - Church History Today, after 2000 years, Christianity is the faith of over 31% of the world’s population. From very humble beginnings with a rag tag group of fishermen and tax collectors, in a backwater province of Roman Judea, this faith has spread to more than 2.3 billion people across the globe. It is important for believers to learn about Church History in order to understand where we come from and the contributions made by those who’ve gone before us. In these sessions, we’ll be looking at the key events that took place throughout the different ages of the church. The Apostolic and Post-Apostolic Age (AD 70-312) The words and teachings of Jesus are collected and preserved, and along with the apostle’s letters to the churches, formed the basis for doctrine. The New Testament writings were completed. Throughout the Mediterranean world the church fathers confronted three major heresies: Gnosticism - A movement that claimed special secret knowledge. Marcionism - An attempt to deny that the God of the Old Testament is the same as He is in the New Testament. Montanism - A movement that emphasised new revelations and prophecies. Bishops were appointed in the various cities and towns and guarded the truth of the gospel. Apologists, or explainers of the faith, emerged to combat these heresies and answer the church’s opponents.

  • How Interstate Relations Affect the Likelihood of the Coup D'état in Africa
    __________________________________________________________________________________ How interstate relations affect the likelihood of the coup d’état in Africa, 1945-1999 ___________________________________________________________________________ T.S. Leenstra 11262214 Master Thesis MA Political Science: International Relations University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences June 23, 2017 Under the supervision of: st 1 reader: Dr. A.A. Steele nd 2 reader: Dr. J. Krause 1 _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This thesis examines the effect of interstate signals on the likelihood of coups in Africa between 1945 and 1999. The purpose of this thesis is to improve our understanding how interstate relations affect the probability of coups. The dominant school of thought in the literature relies heavily on intrastate conditions (structural factors in society) to explain coup attempts. These explanations appear inadequate to explain considerable variation in coup attempts in Africa: why numerous African states with similar country characteristics faced several coups, while others did not. This thesis addresses the empirical puzzle by claiming that external actors play a key role in destabilizing unfavored governments in Africa. The general argument asserts that hostile signals send by external actors to a targeted state shape a favorable climate to launch a coup against the incumbent government. This argument is tested using measures for troop mobilizations and sanctions as costly signals in combination with events data as a measure for cheap signals. This thesis uses a nested analysis research design as outlined by Lieberman (2005). The first part entails a preliminary large sample of cases (LNA) which found no significant results of the expected relationships. The second part engages in an in-depth case study (SNA) of Libya to show a non-relationship more generally, and seeks alternative explanations to explain Libya’s non-coup outcome.

MAY 23 196» WASHINGTON. 0. C 3 IS? PREFACE * This paper will attempt to describe the genesis of Pan-African labor movements in their relationship to the wider, international, Pan- African political movements. The general format will be to first describe the development of the political institutions of Pan-Africanism in a chron­ ological survey and follow this with the chronology of Pan-African labor developments during the same period. There will be references to the early developments of labor movements in Africa, but the major emphasis of th*is study will be on the period following 1960. There will be little discussion of the development of the labor movements within African countries. Examples illustrative of general trends in the development of African trade unionism will be drawn from specific national movements when applicable. However, the scope of the paper is limited to the inter-African relations of political and labor groups.

  • The Two-Faced Amhara Identity
    Siegfried Pausewang Chr. Michelsen Institute Bergen THE TWO-FACED AMHARA IDENTITY In the St. Petersburg Journal of African Studies, the late Sevir B. Cherne- tsov published in 1993 a remarkable article which, even more remarkably, was not noticed by the majority of scholars on Ethiopia. To my knowledge, not a single serious academic comment underscored its main thesis or its important historical and political significance. And no later publication on relevant issues I know of has quoted the article or indeed given S. Chernetsov credit for his contribution through referencing it. Even Tronvoll and Vaug- han, who in their Culture of Power1 describe in some detail the difference between urban Amhara identity and rural ethnic Amhara culture, do not men- tion Chernetsov in their reference list. The article by S. Chernetsov, entitled «On the Origins of the Amhara»,2 described Amhara culture as a culture of assimilation. The language and the culture of the Imperial Court was Amharic since the reign of Yekunno Amlak and, through him, the «Solomonic line» of kings emanating from the historic- al Amhara province. S. Chernetsov observes that today the Amhara are counted as the second largest ethnic group in Ethiopia, much more populous than what the tiny province of Amhara could be expected to procreate. This is because whoever wanted to advance in the court, the administration or in the military of the Emperors had to speak Amharic reasonably well and usually also had to adopt the Orthodox Christian religion. The court retained an Amhara culture, but attracted ambitious and bright individuals from other ethnic groups, provided they volunteered to adopt the language, the religion and the customs at the court.

Constantine’s initial predilection for Sol/Apollo is well documented, though variously interpreted, and although he turned away from Sol Constantine was not the last emperor to support solar cult.
