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.

Agelbert NOTE: Perhaps that last sentence should read like this:
•Africa is the poorest continent in the world, [s]despite
having[/s] BECAUSE OF EUROPEAN (i.e. racist - see Darwin and the
"lesser" humans) KNOWLEDGE that Africa has the world's largest
reserves of precious metals - FOLLOWED BY UNRELENTING
EXPLOITATION AND

[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.

[font=times new roman]Why Medieval Torture Devices are Not
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.

[center]Brazil: Outrage as Indians' homes bulldozed, community

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.

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."
