I don't remember meeting any particular people from any nation from Africa until I went to college-UMM. Before I begin, I want to inform you that Africa is not a "country", but a "continent". Many of my African brothers and sisters gets very uptight about this. Anyways, as I write this today (9.28.03), I can trace as far back in Middle-Junior High School when I began to learn about this continent. My teacher had us write to the well known past-current American Civil Rights leader, Jessie Jackson, on our concern of the independence of South Africa. This particular nation has changed since it was finally awarded it's independence.
At UMM, I began to distinct the uniqueness of each African nation as I began to meet an international student from various parts. As of today, I'm still learning....After college, I had the privilege to attend an African/African-American conference called Impact (my personal story) in Atlanta, Georgia. I noticed a slight difference of the African American culture there compared to the Midwest.
Western Imperialism and Africa As Seen in an Eye of Both Worlds
By: Miracle Obeta
Sophomore

University of Minnesota-Morris
Thursday, September 29th 2005
Africa is the second largest continent on the face of the
Earth
with the most amount of natural resources, and houses a population of
well
over 900 million people. It is home to 52 diverse and culturally
enriched
countries with well over 752 languages. Born in Nigeria, a country
located
on the West Coast of Africa, I was exposed to and nurtured in the
cultural
richness of Africa for the first twelve years of my life. My family
immigrated to the United States in 1998. Since then, I have educated
myself
in the history of America and critically analyzed the racial history,
conflicts, and relations of this nation. Through the course of my
education, I was greatly astonished by the linkage of African history
with
that of the Western World since 3000BC to 2004AD, and how much of what
is
currently occurring in the Continent correlate with events of the
western
world from the times of the Greeks to the colonial days.
Prior to Africa being known for its political and economic
instability, Africa was home to one of the greatest ancient
civilizations
and kingdoms. Starting with the Egyptians, the great pharaohs of Egypt
both
Black and Semitic in origin, possessed economic and military power that
was
unmatched by no other civilization of its time for over 900 years until
it
was sacked by the Persian empire in the year 712BC and by Alexander the
Great of the Greek empire in 525BC. Following the Egyptians was the
Timbuktu civilization that took roots in Northwestern Africa and
established an economic power that was equivalent to that of the
Greeks.
Apart from being a powerful economic and political ground, Timbuktu
later
became a breathing ground for Islam in Africa after it was conquered by
the
Persian empire. The Persians introduced Islam forcefully to the African
civilization, and the teachings of Islam was slowly introduced to
other
great African civilizations such as Kush, Axum, The Almoravids, Kanem
Bornu, The Forest Kingdoms, and the Swahili Kingdoms in later times.
The
Modern day Zimbabwean based ancient civilization best known as �Great
Zimbabwe/The Mwenemutapa Empire was the only great African civilization
that was not invaded by the teachings of Islam partly because they were
too
far from the Islamic influenced Northwest Africa. The Hausa Kingdom
mentioned above took roots in the modern day Nigeria and Benin. Nigeria
is
currently a nation in which half of its population are Islamic and the
other half Christian. The Hausa people in Nigeria account for most of
the
Islamic population.
Nonetheless, when most Americans think of Africa, they vision
a
continent full of political instability and economic woes. As an
African
who happens to be raised in a western nation (the U.S), I have noted
that
such visions from the American people comes as a result of the Western
medias�s portrayal of the continent. This helped me explain why as a
young
African arriving in the U.S during the late 20th century, my first
encounter with racism and prejudice did not come from a White person,
but
an ignorant American of my own race. The Media�s role in the portrayal
of
Africa is greatly influenced by the globally historic Atlantic Slave
Trade
that took place from 1440AD to 1870AD in which well over one hundred
million Africans were enslaved and dispersed throughout the world by
the
Dutch, Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Great Britain, British North
America, U.S, and many other Western Nations. Following the Slave Trade
came nearly two hundred years of colonialism in which all of Western
Europe
forcefully established colonies in the African Continent. Africa was
exploited, oppressed, ethnically divided, and psychologically enslaved
from
the late 19th century to the late 20th when Africans began to gain
independence from the Western World through rebellion in most cases.
Some
of those ethnic division was finally exemplified in the recent ethnic
killings between the Hutus and Tutsis of Rwanda, Zaire, and Burundi in
which the Belgiums played a big part of. Most African nations gained
their
independence in the year 1964. Out of all the African nations, Ethiopia
was
the only country that was not colonized by Western Europe. Although the
Italians succeeded in separating the modern day Eritrea from the
mainland
Ethiopia, they never succeeded in colonizing the nation. In essence,
while
African Americans were being oppressed and psychologically enslaved by
the
White population in America, all of Africa was being exploited,
oppressed,
and psychologically enslaved by the rest of Western Europe.
After the end of colonialism in Africa, the Western media
became a
key player in helping to maintain separation of Africans living on the
mainland from those enslaved in Western Europe and North America both
psychologically and physically. One of the ways in which the Western
Media
went about doing so was to depict the African continent in the manner
that
it does today. To understand this concept, one must close his or her
eyes
and picture a commercial, movie, documentary, or scientific study
exploring
one�s favorite place to vacation. Now imagine if that concept is
reversed,
and whomever is in control of those commercials, movies, documentaries,
or
scientific studies does not want you to travel, vacation, feel
culturally,
racially, historically connected to that place, he or she will portray
that
place as being the worst place that one can ever be. The mainstream
media
only approaches regions of Africa with a crisis driven eye that gives
people, specifically, African Americans in this country an unfairly
biased,
stereotypical, and often false visions of the African nations. This
concept
has and continues to be practiced by the Western media and Africans in
the
Western world continue to be psychologically victimized.
As much as this evilness angered me and continues to anger me,
it�s more frustrating when your fellow classmates discover an article
on
Amazon.com that claims that some men in Africa are known to breast feed
and
find it to be the most solid fact ever presented and fail to challenge
the
legitimacy of the claim. Worst enough, you have your professor teaching
the
class that some men in Africa do breast feed, and in many cases that
the
HIV virus evolved from Chimpanzees in Africa while clearly this is not
true. Africans have been living with Chimpanzees and other exotic
animals
for as long as Africa has been in existence, and no animal has been
known
to produce a viruses in human history. It does not occur to them that
this
theory might be part of the media�s role in its long history of
degrading
the African continent in the worst way possible. This is another issue
that
can be discussed, but if one is still convinced that Chimpanzees are
the
source of the virus, one should ask his or her self why is it that the
first case of the virus took place in the U.S and how did it reach the
African continent to later infect millions? Why is it that the U.S
media
never explores the origins of the virus? Why is it that the aids was
first
known as a gay disease in the U.S? Why is it that African Americans in
the
U.S have the highest rate of Hiv infections when clearly, every
immigrant
that wishes to enter the U.S is tested in his or her homeland and in
the
U.S for any possible illness? Why is it that the U.S government
provides 6
Billion dollars to Africa every year to fight aids? To be friendly?
Right.
What other country had the capability of creating a virus of this
magnitude
during the 1970s? Where does the term �biological weapon� evolve from?
Africa? The truth about the origins of the virus lays in America�s
backyard, but as we know, �the facts will never be questioned or
challenged
because the U.S public is never deceived by the U.S government and
media
about an issue, and just because it�s published or thought in class it
must
be true.�

Etymology
Afri was the name of several peoples who dwelt in North Africa near Carthage. Their name is usually connected with Phoenician afar, "dust", but a 1981 theory[6] has asserted that it stems from a Berber word ifri or Ifran meaning "cave", in reference to cave dwellers[7]. Africa or Ifri or Afer[8] is name of Banu Ifran from Algeria and Tripolitania (Berber Tribe of Yafran) [9].
In Roman times, Carthage became the capital of Africa Province, which also included the coastal part of modern Libya. The Roman suffix "-ca" denotes "country or land".[10] The later Muslim kingdom of Ifriqiya, modern-day Tunisia, also preserved a form of the name.
Other etymologies that have been postulated for the ancient name "Africa":
the 1st century Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (Ant. 1.15) asserted that it was named for Epher, grandson of Abraham according to Gen. 25:4, whose descendants, he claimed, had invaded Libya.
the Latin word aprica, meaning "sunny", mentioned by Isidore of Seville (sixth century) in Etymologiae XIV.5.2
the Greek word aphrike, meaning "without cold." This was proposed by historian Leo Africanus (1488–1554), who suggested the Greek word phrike (φρίκη, meaning "cold and horror"), combined with the privative prefix "a-", thus indicating a land free of cold and horror.
Massey, in 1881, derived an etymology from the Egyptian af-rui-ka, "to turn toward the opening of the Ka." The Ka is the energetic double of every person and "opening of the Ka" refers to a womb or birthplace. Africa would be, for the Egyptians, "the birthplace."[11]
The Irish female name Aifric is sometimes Anglicised as Africa, but the personal name is unrelated to the geonym..."

Their mission: rescue Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), a U.S. citizen running a mission and hospital in Nigeria. Disobeying orders, they rescue a group of missionaries and villagers and find they are being pursued by the rebel forces. Eventually, it becomes clear that one of the refugees is the sole surviving member of the presidential family, whom the rebels wish to kill. The team and the refugees are forced to make for the Cameroon border, while being pursued by an enemy that will stop at nothing to kill Waters, his team, and the refugees."
Reviews: Haro-Online "Somewhere within Tears of the Sun is a deeper message. This movie aspired to be more than the typical action movie, but could never quite figure out what it wanted to say. So it flounders around for a while, before succumbing to the temptations of mindless gunfire and explosions. It would have been interesting if the moral dilemma posited in the beginning carried through to the end, but that is probably expecting too much."

"Philip and the Ethiopian
26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." 27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[d]eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. 29The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."
30Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
31"How can I," he said, "unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture:
"He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before the shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth."[e]
34The eunuch asked Philip, "Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?" 35Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?"[f] 38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea."
"Christians in Africa form one of the largest religious groups. The presence of Christianity in Africa began by the end of the first century in Egypt, and by the end of the second century in the region around Carthage. Important Africans who influenced the early development of Christianity includes Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen of Alexandria, Cyprian, Athanasius and Augustine of Hippo....
"Christianity first arrived in North Africa, in the 1st or early 2nd century AD. The Christian communities in North Africa were among the earliest in the world. Legend has it that Christianity was brought from Jerusalem to Alexandria on the Egyptian coast by Mark, one of the four evangelists, in 60 AD. This was around the same time or possibly before Christianity spread to Northern Europe.
Once in North Africa, Christianity spread slowly West from Alexandria and East to Ethiopia. Through North Africa, Christianity was embraced as the religion of dissent against the expanding Roman Empire. In the 4th century AD the Ethiopian King Ezana made Christianity the kingdom's official religion. In 312 Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.
In the 7th century Christianity retreated under the advance of Islam. But it remained the chosen religion of the Ethiopian Empire and persisted in pockets in North Africa.
In the 15th century Christianity came to Sub-Saharan Africa with the arrival of the Portuguese. In the South of the continent the Dutch founded the beginnings of the Dutch Reform Church in 1652.
In the interior of the continent most people continued to practice their own religions undisturbed until the 19th century. At that time, Christian missions to Africa increased, driven by an antislavery crusade and the interest of Europeans in colonising Africa. However, where people had already converted to Islam, Christianity had little success. .."
"The history of Christianity in Africa south of the Sahara begins in the fifteenth century, with the arrival of the first missionaries carrying the gospel from Europe. The story of these missionaries is equally Catholic and Protestant, is equally the story of Liberal Christians and Evangelicals, is equally the story of women missionaries and men; but the story of the spread of Christianity in Africa during the last five centuries is far more the story of African Christians spreading the gospel in Africa than it is the story of European or American Christians spreading the gospel in Africa.
Unfortunately African Christians rarely recorded their stories, while European and American missionaries regularly sent letters to their relatives, mission boards and financial supporters in Europe and America. As a result we know far more about European and American missionaries than we do about the African catechists and evangelists whose role in bring Christianity all over Africa is far more significant. The least here on earth, they are assured of great honor in heaven.
Modern African Churches can, for the sake of convenience, be divided into three main groups, though there are far greater differences within each group than there are between the three, and that there are very important continuities from the one to the other. ..
"Introduction
I grew up in a society in which the majority of young persons of my age believe that the Christian faith destroyed traditional African religion. My first idea was to write an essay showing how this is though to have happened and perhaps to give reasons why this occurred. However, from my present research I found that this belief of Christianity having destroyed traditional African religion is naive. This view is held partly because in most cases the Christian faith is associated with colonialism but fails to look at the traditional religion in terms of what it gave to the Africans and to ask whether the Christian faith does the same for the African Christian. It also does not take into consideration whether the belief of the traditional African was changed by the Christian faith nor what happened to their traditional religion...
Aspects of Traditional African Religion
...In traditional African religion there existed a very strong belief in the supernatural. There were powers associated with all aspects of life and nature. For example, a large tree or massive rock had powers associated with it. Coupled with this was the belief in witchcraft and sorcery. The Africans believed that if supernatural evil, witchcraft and sorcery were absent, then all would be well. This supernatural evil was everything that destroyed life, strength, health, fertility and prosperity. ''Africans saw evil as all that detracts from or destroys life, illness, infertility, pestilence, famine and sudden or inexplicable death.'' [1] They believed that the evil came about when there had been a failure by the people to respect the living-dead, a regional deity or the supreme God. Envy, hatred, adultery or the disestablishment of the social categories among the people could invoke the evil powers. The evil powers did not just attack those who had done wrong but the whole society incurred their wrath. The Africans believed that through ritual and sacrifice to their living-dead they would be forgiven for their wrong-doing. There was a belief that the wearing of charms and amulets, mazango, would protect them from the work of witchcraft and sorcery. Also there was a belief that the burning of herbs, mushonga, in the home protected the household from the evil of witches and sorceresses....
From Traditional Religion to Christianity
...Christianity also provided Africans with a way of confronting the problem of death that they approached with such fear. The concept of an eternal life for all, regardless of their social position, was more than appealing to Africans. They saw in it a home for their living-dead whom they now perceived to have entered into life eternal. Christianity taught the Africans not to fear death, it brought them a way of seeing death as the means of passing into eternal life that the traditional religion had accorded only to those who had a family to perform the reviving ceremony. This concept brought with it a tremendous amount of freedom for the Africans: ''... the value placed by Christianity on individualism and self-reliance is a fillip to achievement. All of this has opened the door to Christianity and rendered it attractive,'' [6] especially to women who had previously been very restricted in their position. The Christian faith taught the Africans to treat all as equals in the eyes of God. The freedom accorded to women has resulted in there being to this day more women who are Christians on the continent than there are men....
The Adaptation of Christianity
Another reason that the adoption took place quite easily was that traditional religion itself was tolerant of new ideas. The tolerance of the Africans' traditional religion enabled them to some extent to take up the Christian faith. The connection between the people's religious beliefs and the political structure played a role, too. Traditional religion used to change with the coming of a new ruler, so with the arrival of the Europeans the political power shifted to them, and this was followed by a corresponding shift in the religious beliefs of the Africans. But they did not just embrace the Christian faith as it was brought to them, but from the start they picked up certain parts of the it and dropped those parts of the traditional religion that were no longer suited to the new life. Anyone who argues that the Christian faith destroyed traditional religion fails, I think, to see the point that the Africans passed the Christian faith through a filter in which it was selectively adopted and combined with traditional religion....

"Somalia (MNN) ― The United Nations is calling the regions of Somalia, Ethiopia and Northern Kenya the "Triangle of Death." Due to their proximity to one another, these countries are all dealing with similar severe drought and food insecurities that could impact up to 10 million people throughout the region.
Somalia appears to be worst hit. The United Nations has formally declared a famine in two areas of southern Somalia. Refugees are straggling cross the borders to see if there is better access in Ethiopia and Northern Kenya which are also trying to cope with the emergency.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. will provide an additional $28 million in aid. On the surface, the issue seems to be lack of food. However, for those groups trying to help, the issue is more the lack of access to food which is available.
Declaring an actual "famine" brings to mind pictures of starvation and emaciated children. It strikes the emotional heart of a donor to try and alleviate suffering. Aid groups therefore are careful with their use of the word because of potential desensitization to the crisis.
Once that bell has been rung, though, what is clear is that for those starving, defining "famine" or "food emergency" makes little difference in living through the day. Finding sustenance is all that matters.
That's where Food For the Hungry comes in. Shep Owen with FH says they implemented some long-term livestock programs in Northern Kenya two years ago because of the cyclical nature of drought. Other programs covered livelihood development, and water and sanitation.
These programs had time to mature, and they could respond to the coming trouble. "The reality is that the famine has been coming in Somalia for a while. I mean, there were pretty clear signs, even six months ago, that it would likely move this way."
Sales from those were reinvested in the local economy and the funds served as a coping mechanism to keep food access open for these communities. As a result, says Owen, "The investments from U.S. AID over the last two years in northern Kenya have allowed the communities that we've been working with to withstand this drought in ways that they wouldn't have been prior to that work." Owen adds that it proves this approach works. "It's possible to address immediate lifesaving needs with long-term approaches that don't undercut the development of the areas."
Seeing that success duplicated during an immediate crisis might be a challenge. Somali insurgents are still causing problems for those trying to help, despite promises to allow foreign aid groups in. The *Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabaab's policies have kept lawlessness alive. That, in turn, prevents humanitarian programs from getting started. Owen notes, "Our team had asked us as well if we were contemplating opening programs in Somalia again, and I indicated that unless you are a really massive organization that can provide security, it's a very perilous place to try to implement programs."
Al Shabaab has also been wreaking havoc outside of Somalia's borders, which creates more hesitation, says Owen. "Even in Kenya, we've had staff that were in our consortiums that were abducted in northern Kenya by the same group."
Pray that God would continue to use Food for the Hungry's multiple outreaches to bring relief, hope and the right kind of help to vulnerable children, families and communities. Pray for wisdom and strength for their Emergency Response Unit (ERU) and staff in affected countries. "Jesus would ask us to be right there with the widows and the orphans--those who are hungry. This is doing what the Lord would have us do, and through God's sovereign grace, we trust that His will is seen and done."
