	NORTHWEST AFRICA 2115 PHOTO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Northwest Africa 2115 is a yellow-green harzburgitic peridotite composed primarily of orthopyroxene (up to 11 mm) and large phenocrysts of olivine (up to 18.5 mm) within a disrupted, cataclasized matrix.
		The Northwest Africa 1877/2115/2629 masses comprise the fifth representative of the peridotitic olivine diogenite suite of meteorites, which includes NWA1459, GRA 98108, ALHA77256, and EETA79002, and it has been proposed that this new group be called olivine diogenites (A. Irving et al.
		Northwest Africa 2115 contains a record ~47 vol% olivine with no plagioclase observed, and has very Cr-rich chromite, all of which suggest that NWA 2115 formed at greater depth - as a mantle residue - than any of the previously studied olivine-rich diogenites.

		An assessment of the sympathies of the French forces in North Africa was essential, and plans were made to secure their cooperation, rather than resistance.

	Berber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		There are between 14 and 25 million speakers of Berber languages in North Africa (see population estimation), principally concentrated in Morocco and Algeria but with smaller communities as far east as Egypt and as far south as Burkina Faso.
		While population genetics is a young field still full of controversy, in general the genetic evidence appears to indicate that most Northwest Africans (whether they consider themselves Berber or Arab) are of Berber origin, and that populations ancestral to the Berbers have been in the area since the Upper Paleolithic era.
		Linguists and population geneticists alike have identified this culture as a probable period for the spread of an Afroasiatic language (ancestral to the modern Berber languages) to the area.

	Desert locust situation extremely serious in northwest Africa
		Adults are forming swarms in parts of the north and northwest where vegetation is drying out, and some of these swarms have been seen moving northwards.
		Across the continent, desert locust populations unexpectedly shifted from the Red Sea coastal plains to the interior of northern Sudan and southern Egypt during the first week of March, according to the latest FAO report.
		FAO reiterated that if survey and control operations have to slow down or be interrupted during this spring in northwest Africa, more swarms will form and move to the Sahel in West Africa at the beginning of the summer growing season.

		Islamism has found in Africa a boundless sphere of conquest, and its uninterrupted spread, from the seventh century down to the present time, among all the races of the continent is one of the most remarkable facts of history.
		Protestantism, therefore, shows considerable activity in Africa, seconded, as it is, by the magnificent generosity of its adherents and of its numerous native assistants.

		Islam was brought to North Africa by early Arab warriors conquering territories (Oqba Ben Nafi in 680 and Moussa Ben Nosair in 703-711) and by traders voyaging back and forth along ancient trans-Saharan caravan routes.
		When it spread to Africa it found fresh support in the native ideas of the Berbers; and their belief in soothsaying or holy women has certainly had something to do with the large numbers of female saints among their Islamisised descendants......
		Whereas the minarets of Islam’s eastern regions are mostly white, brick-built or covered with tiles, the Kutubiya is made of huge blocks of ochre-red local stone that subtly change their hue with the changing angle of the sun’s rays.

		Nowadays, the Berber speakers, scattered throughout Northwest Africa from the Atlantic to the Lybic desert and from the Mediterranean shores to the south of the Sahel, are considered the genuine descendants of those prehistoric colonizers.
		In Africa, it has been sporadically found in Morocco and Algeria in the North, and Senegal and Nigeria in the South, pointing to a wider distribution in the past, or to gene flow from a geographic focus which has still not been sampled.
		In Africa, the geographic and social isolation of the different Berber groups [23], could have promoted a loss of diversity by genetic drift.

	Search for Lithospheric Delamination along the Northwest Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Compare seismic anisotropy, a proxy for upper mantle strain-induced fabric, across the conjugate margins of northeastern North America and northwestern Africa, in order to test the hypothesis that the lithospheric fabric in northeastern North America is a fossil remnant of Paleozoic delamination and that asthenospheric fabric is related to present-date plate motions.
		Thus we expect asthenospheric LPO to be weaker in northwest Africa than in northeastern North America.
		Little is known about the state of stress in the mantle within and near the Alboran delamination event, largely because of the difficulty of constructing traditional first-motion focal mechanisms for the smallish, deeper earthquakes.
