       How Was Africa Divided before Colonization?
       Africa was made up of 10,000 different states and groups before
       colonial rule.
       Colonization of Africa remains the most significant factor in
       how the fate of this large continent has turned out. But was
       Africa divided before colonization and if so, how? What did the
       pre-colonial map of Africa look like?
       One of the largest continents and the second most populated
       continent in the world, Africa indeed had divisions and states
       before Europeans partitioned Africa. Before colonial rule,
       Africa was made of up to 10,000 different states and groups.
       The present map of the African continent is a direct result of
       European colonization of Africa which began about 1870. The map
       of pre-colonial Africa looked different. The pre-colonial native
       African states were mostly determined by tribal identities.
       Some of the major African states at the time were:
       Marutse-Manbunda Land,
       Great Namaqua,
       Zulu Land,
       Somauli Land,
       Darfoor,
       Abyssinia,
       Nubia,
       Egypt,
       Tripoli,
       Tunis,
       Algeria,
       Morocco,
       Barbary,
       Sene-Gambia,
       Karta,
       Bambara,
       Ashantee,
       Gando,
       Yoruba,
       Benin,
       Bornoo.

       The colonization of Africa by France, Portugal, Britain,
       Belgium, Spain and Italy changed the borders of native African
       states and has resulted in the present divisions and boundaries
       in Africa.
       As of 2015, there are more than 50 countries in Africa and more
       than 800 different languages. After Asia, it is the most
       populous continent in the world with a population of 1.1
       billion.
       More about Africa:
       •By 2050, it is expected the population of Africa will be 2.3
       billion.
       •Liberia was the first African country to gain independence, in
       1847. Eritrea was the last African country to gain independence,
       in 1993.
       •Africa is the poorest continent in the world, despite having
       the world's largest reserves of precious metals.

       [center][font=times new roman]Of Lying And Language — Last
       Thoughts On Umberto Eco
  HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/301.gif[/font][/center]
       SNIPPET:
       Eco talks about many other beautiful and very interesting things
       in the interview. His narrative is void of intellectual
       posturing – rather, it’s full of human humor, joy and curiosity.
       But the last part of the interview is especially interesting.
       Eco told the interviewer about his secret project that proved to
       be impossible:
       Until the age of fifty and throughout all my youth, I dreamed of
       writing a book on the theory of comedy. Why? Because every book
       on the subject has been unsuccessful, at least all the ones I’ve
       been able to read.
       Every theoretician of comedy, from Freud to Bergson, explains
       some aspect of the phenomenon, but not all. This phenomenon is
       so complex that no theory is, or has been thus far, able to
       explain it completely. So I thought to myself that I would want
       to write the real theory of comedy.
       But then the task proved desperately difficult. If I knew
       exactly why it was so difficult, I would have the answer and I
       would be able to write the book.
       Compared to beauty and ugliness, comedy is terrifying. I’m not
       talking about laughter, mind you. No, there is an uncanny
       sentimentality of the comic, which is so complex that—I cannot
       quite explain it. And this, alas, is why I didn’t write the
       book.
       “Is comedy a specifically human invention, as you said lying
       is?” the interviewer asked.
       “Yes, since it seems that animals are bereft of humor. We know
       that they have a sense of play, they feel sorry, they weep, they
       suffer. We have proof that they are happy, when they are playing
       with us, but not that they have comic feelings. It is a typical
       human experience, which consists of—no, I can’t exactly say.…
       “I have a suspicion that it is linked with the fact that we are
       the only animals who know we must die," he said.

       Medieval
  HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif[/font]
       When many people think about the Middle Ages they see it as a
       time when people were tortured by a wide collection of
       diabolical instruments. Whether it is the Pear of Anguish or the
       Iron Maiden, these torture devices are portrayed as medieval.
       The reality, however, is that many of these devices never
       existed in the Middle Ages.

       Agelbert NOTE: And by the way, the men folk NEVER wore those
       helms with a horn on either side. That was a 19th century
       invention of opera theater.
       [quote]Richard Wagner is often credited with popularizing the
       idea of horned helmets, although he never wrote an opera about
       Vikings. His operatic cycle  Der Ring des Nibelungen, the four
       parts of which were first produced between 1869 and 1876,
       depicted Germanic gods and heroes in the mythical past, not
       during the historical Viking era. Most opera fans neither knew
       nor cared that the Viking Age didn't start until A.D. 793,
       though, and some apparently assumed all barbarian warriors in
       northern Europe wore pointy headgear. Wagner had also used a
       horned helmet in the original production of  Tristan und Isolde
       in 1865. This is even further from Vikings, because the story is
       a Celtic, not a Germanic, legend.
       In Wagner's operas, horned helmets are now most closely
       associated with the Valkyries, but as originally staged the
       Valkyries wore helmets with wings. (The Valkyries didn't get h o
       r n y until Wagner died.) The only major figure in the whole
       cycle who wore a horned helmet in the early productions was
       Hunding. Those who have somehow managed to stay awake through
       the entire four-hour production of  Die Walküre may remember
       Hunding as the boor who objected to his wife sleeping with her
       brother. Wagner and his costume and set designer Carl Emil
       Doepler probably borrowed the idea not from the few scattered
       images of Vikings wearing horned helmets, but from the costumes
       in stage plays about ancient pre-Viking Germans.

       A video showing a tribal community’s homes being bulldozed,
       condemning families to live by the side of a major highway, has
       caused outrage in Brazil.
       Almost 100 heavily-armed police officers evicted the Apy Ka’y
       Guarani community, whose ancestral lands have been destroyed for
       industrial-scale farming.
       Watch: Brutal eviction from Apy Ka’y
       [center]
  HTML https://youtu.be/-vyQScYD2AA[/center]
       The Indians had been forced to live by the side of a highway for
       ten years, during which eight people were run over and killed,
       and another died from pesticide poisoning.
       In 2013 the community re-occupied a small patch of their
       ancestral land. They have now been evicted from it again, after
       a judge granted the landowner’s request for an eviction order,
       despite having received appeals from the Guarani, from their
       allies in Brazil, and from thousands of Survival supporters
       around the world.
       The Guarani of Apy Ka’y are now back on the side of the highway.
       Another video (at article link) shows armed police overseeing
       the eviction of the nine Guarani Kaiowá families. Tribal leader
       Damiana Cavanha is shown denouncing the eviction, insisting on
       her people’s right to defend their lives, protect their lands
       and determine their own futures.

       Ka’y Guarani community, whose ancestral lands have been
       destroyed for industrial-scale farming.  © Aty Guasu[/center]
       She said: [font=georgia]“We do not accept this. I will stay
       here, this is my right. We have our rights. It’s not only the
       white people that have rights, the Guarani Kaiowá and the
       indigenous peoples also have rights.[/font] So many of us have
       died, so many people have been killed by the gunmen… Let us stay
       here, we have our Tekoha [ancestral land] and I will return to
       my Tekoha.”
       In June 2016, ranchers’ gunmen attacked another Guarani
       community at Tey’i Jusu. One man was killed and several others,
       including a twelve year old boy, severely injured.  >:(
       Most of the Guarani’s land has been stolen from them. Brazil’s
       agri-business industry has been trying to keep tribal people
       away from their territories for decades. They subject them to
       genocidal violence and racism so they can steal their lands,
       resources and labor in the name of “progress” and
       “civilization.”
       The situation facing the Guarani is one of the most urgent and
       horrific humanitarian crises of our time. In April 2016,
       Survival International launched its “Stop Brazil’s Genocide”
       campaign to draw the crisis to global attention in the run-up to
       the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
       Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said: “This is terrible news,
       and it is tragically all too typical of the appalling situation
       facing the Guarani in Brazil. We cannot sit idly by and watch
       the destruction of an entire people. If the Guarani’s legal
       right to live on their land is not respected and upheld, they
       will be destroyed."
