	History of Africa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interaction between Asia, Europe and North Africa during this period was significant, major effects include the spread of classical culture around the shores of the Mediterranean; the continual struggle between Rome and the Berber tribes; the introduction of Christianity throughout the region, and the cultural effects of the churches in Tunisia, Egypt and Ethiopia.
		The Portuguese, whose power in Africa was already waning, were not in a position to interfere with the Dutch plans, and Britain was content to seize the island of Saint Helena as her half-way house to the East.
		In South Africa the struggle with Napoleon caused the United Kingdom to take possession of the Dutch settlements at the Cape, and in 1814 Cape Colony, which had been continuously occupied by British troops since 1806, was formally ceded to the British crown.

		In eastern and southern Africa, the general picture is of greater aridity and also a cooling of several degrees in mean annual temperature (Taylor 1992).
		There are indications from various parts of Africa (central and eastern Africa) and also Arabia that the maximum aridity may have occurred slightly after the global LGM, at around 17,000-15,000 14C years ago, although the LGM itself seems to have been generally much more arid than present (Adamson et al.
		In southern Africa, the onset of moister post-LGM conditions may have been delayed, with some indications of extensive dune activity continuing in northern Botswana, although this may be due to ambiguity in the dating of aridity which actually occurred slightly earlier, or later during the Younger Dryas (Stokes et al.

		Towards the eastern edge of the present central African rain forest block - in Eastern Zaire, Kivu-Province and Burundi - Runge (1995) has collected diverse information on such features as palaeosols, stone-lines, hillwash sediments etc. to argue that during the LGM the forest was strongly reduced and its place occupied by savanna-like vegetation.
		In Eastern Africa, the general picture for the LGM is one of drier-than-present conditions throughout (Coetzee and van Zinderen Bakker 1988).
		Generally, the signs from the many pollen and palaeoenvironmental records across southern and eastern Africa are of mid-Holocene vegetation and climates that were quite similar to those of today, but with a vegetation structure not subject to the intense degradation by domesticated grazing animals that it undergoes at present in some regions.

	IFPRI Eastern Africa Food Policy Network--Introduction
		The IFPRI Eastern Africa Food Policy Network seeks to reduce poverty and improve food security in East Africa by generating policy-relevant information through collaborative research activities, improving the dissemination and use of such information, and strengthening local capacity to undertake and communicate policy research.
		Sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in the world where the number of hungry and undernourished people, particularly children, has increased in recent years.
		IFPRI and its collaborators firmly believe that the Eastern Africa Food Policy Network will contribute greatly to providing high-quality, timely, and region- and country-specific information, thereby improving policies and institutional strategies for poverty alleviation, gender equity, food security, agricultural development, and sound management of natural resources in East Africa.

		However, the worst effect of the floods was on the second season crops, grown in the bi-modal rainfall areas of Western, Central and Eastern provinces from mid-October to February.
		The maize output of this season is estimated to have declined by one-third from normal levels, while the bean crop was sharply reduced due to both adverse weather and lack of seed.
		Heavy rains from mid-November to early December, mainly in the eastern parts, resulted in floods and mudslides which caused loss of life, damage to housing and infrastructure and localized crop losses.
