Introduction U.S., European, and West African Ideological Designs
It was during the 1960s that Africa came to the attention of Americans, and especially to U.S. policymakers—expressly West Africa, where freedom from colonial tenancy arrived first, and Central Africa, where the Congo evoked Western concern. President John F. Kennedy, who took office in 1961, used his power and his personality to actively initiate and pursue a more lucid approach to the African continent. At the time, Africa was seen as a positiv…
Kwame Nkrumah: Ghana’s Nationalist Icon
The first time I set foot in Ghana, in January 1964, I was exhilarated. Being in the country whose charismatic president, Kwame Nkrumah, more than any other African statesman, was the radical symbol of the continent, and who was a hero to many on the left, was dramatic. After living in politically stultifying Liberia and traveling overland through the Ivory Coast—both models of African conservatism— arriving in Ghana's capital, Accra, was a breat…
Senegal and Léopold Sédar Senghor: Francophile Nation and Poet
Although France did not officially establish the colony of Senegal as a permanent French possession until 1840, the French influence there predated that event by more than two centuries. It was in 1626, some 20’0 years after the Portuguese had initially secured the territory for Europe, that French traders first entered the territory and embarked on building settlements. The legacy of centuries of French influence permeates Senegal’s politics and…
Sékou Touré: Guinea’s Fidel Castro, and His Connection to the Political Thought of Mali’s Modibo Keita
Although once a French colony, Guinea never embraced French cultural values to the same degree as the Ivory Coast and Senegal. Particularly after independence in 1958, it rigorously maintained a zealous attachment to its historic African and Islamic traditions. In large part this was a concerted and deliberate design. Guinean nationalists viewed the colonial relationship with France, which had begun in 1889, as synthetic, and, according to L. Gra…

Cuban Health Care and the U.S. Embargo
Since the revolution Cuba has developed a remarkable and successful health care system unmatched in the third world. In developing a social policy that provides health care for all its citizens while at the same time organizing a pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry that is as resourceful as it is inspiring Cuba has made advances in medicine admired throughout the world. As The Economist maintained in 1996 "Cuban medicine is disciplined and …
The Soviet Union in the Horn of Africa: The Diplomacy of Intervention and Disengagement
This is an attempt to address the paradoxes of Soviet behaviour in the Horn of Africa. Dr Patman, editor of the journal Third World in Soviet Perspective, traces the impact of history, superpower relationships and competition on Soviet perceptions and motives. Dr Patman provides a careful historical background to the recent conflicts and shows how the Soviet Union and its East European partners dramatically switched from being close allies of Som…

Human Rights in Ethiopia
It is the hypothesis of this article if the Provisional Military Administrative Committee, which took power in Ethiopia on 12 September 1974, is really intent on uprooting the feudal social system that has flourished for so long, then a revolution by violent means is necessary.
