Horn of Africa

Abstract As the economic growth in the world continues, Africa continues to lose its self-proclaimed title as the cradle of biodiverse ecosystems which house the mighty African elephant and rhinoceros (otherwise known as the continental herd). Wildlands have been fragmented and forests cleared continuously and at very rapid rates. Rising rates of affluence around the world, especially in Asia has led to the intensity of the black market of the rhino and elephant ivory market which has seen the deterioration

originally developed in the Caribbean, on the island of St. Croix. According to the Oklahoma State Breed of Livestock website, the N’Dama cattle were imported into St. Croix from Senegal, West Africa and later crossbred with the Red Poll bull to help with improving milking ability, fertility and removal of the horns of the N’Dama breed. From the genetic crossbreeding of the N’Dama and Red Poll, the Senepol breed of cattle was achieved. In 1977, the first load of approximately 22 cattle left for the United

Throughout Northern and Central Africa ethnic fighting and mass genocide has run rampant. Clashes between, diverse ethnic and cultural people has caused instability, these mass humanitarian disasters that can no longer be ignored. With the help of other nations South Sudan can go from another mass genocide waiting to happen, to a region supplier of much needed resources, with the help of other nations. In the 1990’s Rwanda genocide was basically ignored by the United States government and because

Djibouti, a small 9000 square miles Horn of Africa (HOA) enclave located at the convergence of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, is strategically important to the U. S. Foreign policy. All instruments of U.S National Power – diplomacy, information, military and economic – are exercised as part of a deliberate and sustained ‘whole of government’ approach. The U. S. Ambassador to Djibouti, the Honorable Geeta Pasi, leads a State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Team in

Puerto Rico, a North American country has a very warm and wet climate. It is just far enough from the equator where it isn’t too dry nor too wet to sustain big ecosystems such as rainforests. The El Yunque National Forest is the largest rainforest in Puerto Rico Puerto Rico is a very tropical country, with over one hundred and forty-three cays, islets and atolls. The atolls apart of Puerto Rico also support a big ecosystem- coral reefs. With a tropical climate, Puerto Rico has a lot of bright green

The piece Touraman contains key structural principles associated with West African music despite the different versions of Bembeya Jazz National and Lansana Diabate. The structural principles include an ostinato pattern, improvisation, triple meter, ensemble stratification, and hocketing. In the Bembeya version, the piece starts with a guitar flourish and then the test of the band comes in.

(Messer, 2010). Since 1989, countries, such as Kenya and Zimbabwe, have had shoot-to-kill laws and their anti-poaching forces have killed 167 poachers (Messer, 2010). Their elephant populations have increased by nearly 50%, while other countries in Africa, without shoot-to-kills laws, are continuing to see decreases in their wildlife populations. Zoologist and other wildlife specialists have been trying to convince these countries to have these laws, but many countries continue to dismiss their pleas

Ammon was originally an Aethiopian or Libyan godliness, whose reverence eventually spread all over Egypt, a section of the northern coast of Africa, and several parts of Greece. The original Egyptian name was Amun or Ammun; the Greeks referred to him as Zeus Ammon, the Romans knew him as Jupiter Ammon, and the Hebrews as Amon.
