http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141127-lucy-fossil-revealed-our-origins
So for my last post, let's start at the beginning. The article above is about the importance of Lucy, the fossilized remains of an early hominid believed to be our ancestor. What I found most interesting is that she was not the first of her particular species found. In 1924, another skeleton was discovered in South Africa but that one was dismissed by the leading scientists at the time as 'just an ape' and not important to us trying to discover our evolutionary origins.
Lucy is special because she was accepted and encouraged scientists to search for more early human species. In 1974 when Lucy was discovered only seven early human species were known. Since then thirteen have been added.
Another thing that is very interesting is that scientists still don't know exactly where are evolutionary tree begins or how many of the hominids they are studying are 'dead ends' in that tree. They still have a lot to figure out about homo sapiens but they do know that our tree is not a straight line. We were built by experimentation and interspecies mingling of DNA.

Drylands
http://www.voanews.com/content/climate-drylands-21nov14/2529254.html
So this article is about the changes surrounding the dry lands, defined as places with a scarcity of water, which included deserts and savannah. The ecologist interviewed says the effects of climate change on the dry lands of Africa are not getting as much attention as they need from the global conscious.
He argues while the plants of the dry lands are hardy by nature, between the rising temperature and the increased number of grazing animals, they are under threat. He does have a quick fix called grazing management. The basic premise is to limit the amount of animals grazing and to pay the pastoralists for the lessened number of animals they get to graze.
Dry lands tend to do well in droughts. Africa has a severe one every century or so. The thing about dry lands is while they do well during droughts, much better than wetter lands, they don't bounce back as quickly as their wetter neighbors. Like every other renewable resource, it takes some time and nothing will change what hasn't changed in billions of years.

Eye Doctors and their Bikes
Basically, Mali has the coolest optometrists in the world. They have a group of doctors that ride around on motorbikes from village to village, performing ten minute surgeries that prevent trachoma, a bacterial disease, to lead to permanent blindness. Trachoma is more likely to affect children and the women watching them. It is also the leading cause of blindness among the rural people of Mali.
Health workers screen people first and then send their findings and pictures to a central system. They hope to eradicate the disease by next year. The amount of children affected has dropped below five percent. Those most likely to be affected, like many other diseases, are those with poor access to water.
The doctors don't seem to have too much trouble treating patients. There isn't much push-back to fixing people's eyes. People are coming out of the woodwork because of the recommendations of others for this procedure. There are about 25,000 people in Mali still needing this quick fix surgery.

West African Gold Mining
http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-29410298
Another piece of the news in pictures but given our chapter this week deals with South African gold mines, this was too relevant to pass up.
These are artisanal mines in Guinea, which everyone should be able to point out on a map. Like the situation in South Africa in the 80's, most of the workers are migrants from Mali and other West African countries. There are also many children and women laboring because there isn't a lot of work so the dangerous mines have no fear of a labor shortage.
The surrounding area has taken on a life of its own. Many of the migrants have set up camp and are visited by hawkers selling their wares. If this is anything like California during the Gold Rush, people are better off selling to the miners than doing any mining themselves.

The Apartheid in Photos
http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/21/a-fighter-with-a-camera-in-apartheid-era-south-africa/?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Ar%2C%7B%222%22%3A%22RI%3A13%22%7D&_r=0
This is an article about a South African photographer in South Africa during the apartheid. He took photos of that time period, including thousands of women in protests, uprisings and a massacre when 69 Africans were shot by the police.
He discusses a few interesting things he's done to get the shot, including buying a piece of bread and sticking his camera in it while pretending to eat at a café. He's also been shot and imprisoned but neither of those things ever made him consider to stop taking pictures. He worked for a time as Nelson Mandela's photographer.
He's taking a break from photographing violence and death. Now he spends his time photographing the natural beauty of South Africa, particularly sunsets. But he isn't afraid to go back to photographing something if it matters and needs to be shown.

Ethiopian art and the Italian Renaissance
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29064625
It's mostly pictures! This is an article about an art gallery in Ethiopia that sells the art of around seventy artists. One of the arguments from an outsider artist who felt his art didn't fit with the overall complexion of the gallery is that the gallery has a particular taste that alienates 'more authentic' artists that depict more 'Ethiopian' art, because the people it sells to foreigners and tourists and then some wealthy Ethiopians. They tend to depict scenes of market squares, women, churches, monks, etc.
So I had an art history class my first semester of college on the Renaissance and Baroque periods. And one of the things that stuck out from me in this article is that there's a growing market, people are making the effort to spend money on art. Patronage of the arts was one of the main causes of the Renaissance, the reason things shifted in Europe from the Middle Ages to the Age of Reason. It's just fascinating that this could be a new Renaissance in our midst.

Nigeria and Senegal Ebola Free
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29685127
So Nigeria and Senegal have both been cleared, neither having new cases of Ebola for six weeks. Nigeria, in particular, is being applauded for responding quickly to the crisis.
In addition, the article discusses meetings of nations on pledging support to the remaining West African countries still stricken with the disease, mainly, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
The article's estimate of the death count is now over 4,500 and they believe 70% of those infected in those countries are dead from the viral disease.
The European Union has decided to send a lot of money to help with the over-stretched medical programs in the three West African countries.
I just thought some good news would be nice on a Monday.

Rebuilding the capital of Somalia
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-19112530
Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, is the focus this week. BBC.com has an article of photos of people rebuilding their homes, the Bakara market, and the skeletons of buildings destroyed from a twenty year period of violence.
The article shows a lot of strength. The people are focused on opening new shops, even if there is still fighting in the area. It's a great time to be in the construction business, with so many buildings the bare bones of themselves, but just as many are beyond rebuilding, such as the parliament. The photo article oscillates between the good and the bad, so the whole thing comes off as a mixed bag. On one hand, it's nice that they finally have the opportunity to rebuild, on the other, there is still a lot of violence, and it's impossible to notice the damage that's been done.

Orania - I'm not entirely sure what to make of it
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29475977
Something incredibly trippy to read today. There is a town in South Africa named Orania. It was founded in 1991 by Afrikaners. The town only allows Afrikaners to live there. As in, only white people who speak the language and can prove themselves ethnic Afrikaner can live in this small town.
The town started up in response to the end of the apartheid. Something many of the people who live there find nothing wrong with. Now they claim they leave South Africa for Orania because of reverse racism.
""We can't get jobs. It's like we are being punished for the past," he says. They seem oblivious to the oppression of black South Africans during apartheid. For them it was a system that gave order. "It [apartheid] didn't affect me. So many people get aggravated now for things they didn't even witness. It's over, move on," says Yolandie Jonk, 29, a call centre agent."
We've been talking a lot about South Africa and the race relations there and I just thought this was something else. I really don't know how to react to it, it's just so strange and feels wrong. People are weird.

"Turkana of East Africa"
See if you can find the dog!
A quick search on most sites shows the preeminence of the Ebola outbreak and I brought an article about it last week. This week, I want to share something fun: Pictures!
The Turkana people live in the Ilemi Triangle, which is being fought over by South Sudan and Kenya, as an area both countries lay claim to. Meanwhile, the people living there, the Turkana, were photographed going about their lives.
Based on the pictures, I notice they rely heavily on the rivers of the area, for fishing and bathing. They seem to know what to do with a good day's catch, which is drying the carcasses. On a related note, being the granddaughter of an avid fisherman, those look like pretty big fish. The women decorate themselves with lots and lots of colorful beaded necklaces. Unfortunately, it seems like they also are used to defending themselves, given the large rifles they carry around casually.

Ebola Reaches 70% Death Rate
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29327741
Less than stellar news on the disease front in Western Africa. The World Heath Organization's newest total is that 70% of those infected with Ebola have died, which is obviously higher than the 50% death rate originally believed. They warn that without swift action to curb the spread, numbers could, at the worst reach 1.4 million infected by January. The organization expects 20,000 new cases will occur by November. Ebola has already killed 2,800 people.
Possible good news is that experimental drugs will begin being tested in Western Africa soon. Sierra Leone has closed its borders with Liberia and Guinea as a method of combating the viral disease. Britain is sending volunteers and building a medical facility to help curb the outbreak.
I don't think that's going to be enough but it's better than doing nothing. It's just sucks that the main reason it's going to be so bad is the lack of healthcare and services in the area.

"Missing Chapter"
This is pretty cool. The first week of the semester, we discussed how African history was a new topic and that information about the continent was constantly being discovered. Well, Renee Mussai has found pictures from the Victorian Era of African Americans in the Hulton Archive, who had no idea they were there. I think that part of the story is fairly common. Historical archives have a lot of stuff and I've heard a couple different stories of people finding things that weren't even listed in the archive.
More importantly, this discovery and its subsequent display at the Rivington Palace in London is about showing the missing links in history. According to the article, the first time blacks were in Britain was in 1948 from Jamaica, but these photographs, taken in England, blow that idea out of the water.
Every photograph has a story behind it and that's what makes it so interesting. There are a couple shots of a group of female singers from South Africa, of an orphaned prince adopted by a British explorer, a rescued slave who was given as a 'gift' to Queen Victoria (I'm not sure how that worked as freedom, I'm hoping it was a symbolic sort of thing) and even a boxing champion. And all of this is from photographs taken around the time photographs were invented. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2014/sep/15/black-chronicles-ii-victorians-photography-exhibition-rivington-place

Ebola outbreak into 2015
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-29060239
Pessimistic news for West Africa and its Ebola outbreak. The response to the outbreak has been poor. According to the article above, heath care workers are stretched thin with very limited supplies for dealing with the rising number of cases. They are now dealing with an estimated 500 new cases every week and they believe that number will rise to the thousands in about five weeks if the trend continues. Part of the reason they give for its sudden increase and spread beyond the original epicenter (it is now in Nigeria) is the inadequate response and its inability to contain the Ebola outbreak. With malaria season beginning, health officials are worried about treating malaria patients and decisions pregnant women will make in regards to birthing. Will they come to the hospital surrounded by malaria and Ebola victims, or will they stay at home and risk complications?
And now, perhaps for some possible good news. Virologists (people who study viruses) think that it may have mutated to become easier to spread. I know that sounds bad, but they also think that because it has mutated to be easier to spread, that also means it is less likely to kill you. One virologist thinks the death rate will sink down to 5% but the Ebola outbreak will never actually end. I assume the fact that it's mutable will make it more like cold and flu season. Not something that's likely to kill you, but something you may get every year.

Lesotho and Latin America
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-29045113
Above is the link to Prime Minister Thabane re-entering Lesotho after fleeing from an attempted coup d'état. It seems like the article is hesitant to call it a coup, since it used quotation marks around the word. Which makes sense, considering it seems to be unsuccessful.
What struck me about the article, which is short and quickly explains the situation, is how similar it is to a lot of what I learned in my Latin American History class. Following independence from Spain, (Portugal for Brazil, though they had it easy) Latin American countries were, and to an extent still are, unstable politically. Mainly from the same cause early on: imperialism by European powers. Sound familiar?
In addition, the usual cause for that instability was continual coups by a caudillo (military leader) with the backing of the army. Technically during the 20th century, the United States also had a hand in backing those coups after our chosen dictator won the support of the military in order to overthrow what was usually a democratically elected leader, but back to Africa.
It is essentially the same as far as I can tell. As I said, the article is short and this seems to be a developing situation. According to the article, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is at odd with PM Thabane, has the support of the military. Anyway, Thabane returned with an escort of South African police who are now guarding the state house and homes of both Thabane and his Deputy Prime Minister. Lesotho is completely surrounded by South Africa but I think it will be very interesting to see where this goes.
Is there still some bitterness between the two countries following independence? Will Thabane have to deal with backlash by bringing in foreign troops to restore order? Why did South Africa decide to assist Thabane? Does it still eye Lesotho? I do not know, but this could be an explosion waiting to happen.

First Post
Hello everyone,
I'm Maggie and this is my first post for African Studies.
The link to the article is at the bottom. It goes to BBC.com. The article is entitled "Ebola: Why is it this disease we fear?" and was written by Dr. Berkley. In the article he offers explanations on the reasons why the Ebola outbreak is garnering so much attention from worldwide media.
First off, he makes it clear that there are plenty of other diseases that are even worse to contract. Either they are easier to transmit, they have more horrific symptoms or they kill a lot more people annually.
However, what makes Ebola special, i.e. what grabs the Western imagination: "...has something to do with the fact that there is no cure and that 50%-90% of people infected will inevitably die."
Not having a cure, he argues, is what makes this disease so alarming. He says the rest of us live relatively free of disease, beyond the flu virus, due to all our vaccinations. Whereas, in Africa, they have many other diseases to worry about.
I don't think he's trying to trivialize the disease, but I think he is pointing out that this may be more of a fact of life for those currently having to live through the epidemic. While over a thousand people have already lost their lives to this disease, that pales in comparison to something like malaria, which claims over half a million lives each year. And malaria is curable, according to the World Heath Organization website. (link: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs094/en/)
So maybe, in the bigger scheme of diseases more likely to kill those living on the African continent, Ebola isn't the most alarming for them. I'm not saying it isn't a concern, especially for those living near the outbreaks in West Africa. I just don't think it is as big as outside media paints it. But that isn't a bad thing. For Dr. Berkley, the media coverage is good. It means people care. It means they're working towards a cure, a vaccine. I just find it interesting, that in the case of disease, having plenty of news is beneficial.
