	Islamic-Relief.ch > Gourma Rharous Education For All Project in Mali
		Mali is one of the poorest countries in Africa with underdeveloped public services and health infrastructure, high illiteracy rates, population migration to urban centres and rapidly growing and fatal diseases such as HIV/AID.
		The circle of Gourma Rharous, which was divided into nine rural communes following the communal elections of June 1999, suffers from acute poverty.
		In Gourma Rharous literacy rates are lower than the national average due to limited public expenditure in the north of the country.

	Gourma Rharous Education for All Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It has generally been recognized that the educational requirements of the Gourma Rhraous communities are far beyond the capacity of the present project.
		The cercle of Gourma Rharous is composed of 37 villages and 147 settlements, and has been divided into nine rural communes since the communal elections of June 1999.
		Therefore IR decided to design a three year project to assist the Gourma civil society through an improved educational programme involving supporting actions for both the formal and the informal educational systems.

	27/9/2002 -- Satellites Reveal How Rare Elephants Survive Desert
		The elephants live in Mali, in the Gourma region of the Sahel, an ever-narrowing strip of land that lies between the desert in the north and the savanna in the south.
		To survive in this extremely harsh landscape, each year the Gourma elephants follow a circular migration path that covers 450 kilometers (280 miles), moving from one water hole to the next.
		The 325 to 350 elephants in the Gourma region of Mali is one of West Africa's largest populations.

		The 300-600 African elephants of Mali's remote Gourma region are the northernmost in existence, bordering their range on the Sahara desert.
		The Gourma elephants are purported to practice the longest migration and to occupy the largest home ranges of any known elephant population.

	Ethnic clashes kill eight in east (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The clashes erupted in the village of Balere in Gourma province last Wednesday when four Fulani, accused of murdering a rich Gourmantche farmer and stealing 4.0 million CFA (US $8,000), were released from prison.
		A judicial official told IRIN that the four men, in prison in the provincial capital Fada N'Gourma since April, had been released because there was insufficient evidence that they were involved in the murder.
		Cattle-herders and crop-growers live together in the fertile region of Gourma, which lies about 200 kilometres east of the capital Ouagadougou, but conflicts over land are common especially when the Fulani cattle stray onto Gourmantche pasture to graze.

	Notes on Documents in ANFOM Affaires Politiques
		The author defined the area under consideration as the cercles of Gao, Gourma-Rharous, Goundam and Timbuktu.
		Their combined population is about 355,000, including 194,000 sedentary people--mostly Songhai--living along the Niger River and on the large islands of Goundam, Diré and Gourma.
		At the beginning of the war in 1939, the Tuaregs Ireguenaten anticipated a reduction in the French military presence, so they threatened the sedentary peoples from Goundam to Gourma.

	Burkina Faso: History
		Invaders from present-day Ghana conquered central and E Burkina Faso, establishing the Mossi states of Ouagadougou, Yatenga, and Tengkodogo in the center and the state of Gourma in the east.
		The conquerors were far outnumbered by their subjects, but by using religion (based on ancestor worship) and a complex administrative system (which allowed for some local autonomy) they created powerful states that endured for more than 500 years.
		In 1895 the French peacefully negotiated a protectorate over Yatenga; in 1896 they forcefully occupied Ouagadougou; and in 1897 they annexed Gourma and the lands of the Bobo, Lobi, and Gurunsi peoples.

		TP (4000 CFA with fan, 6000 CFA with A/C): This is your typical Burkinabè hotel space: it’s not too dirty or too clean, and the toilet in your room might not always work, but hey, it’s got a bathroom with a mirror and running water, and it’s more or less conveniently located.
		In general, you can support the east by buying things like Miel du Gourma (not to be confused with imitation products like Miel Naturel du Gourma), Biala drinking water, and Lait du Gourma milk and yogurt (it’s delicious).

	Save the Elephants
		West Africa’s elephants live in fragmented groups amongst dense human populations.
		We study rare surviving desert elephants, in the Gourma region of Mali, living in extreme conditions or heat and aridity, where the Sahara meets a scattering of trees and shrubs.
		With the government and partner NGOs we seek ways to secure their future with nomadic people, Touareg, Pheuls and others that share this land, and whose traditional tolerance has granted the elephants survival until now.

		It is also spoken by a further 200,000 people in Benin, Niger and Togo.
		Its speakers, known in Burkina Faso as Gourma, are mainly farmers whose contact with other languages is limited.
		Literacy levels in Gulmancema have traditionally been low, but have risen substantially over recent years as a result of the ‘Tin Tua’ (‘let’s develop ourselves by ourselves’) teaching method, in which students, both children and adults, are required to become literate in their mother tongue before going on to learn French.
