L'homme vivant de la cueillette existe toujours au Burkina Faso. Les espèces que nous allons exposer par la suite ne font pas l'objet d'une culture. La plupart certes sont des espèces protégées lors des défrichements. Elles caractérisent souvent les différents faciès de savane rencontrés à travers le pays. Certaines ont des usages généralisés en temps normal, d'autres le sont en temps de disette ou de soudure. Ces espèces ligneuses sont à usages culinaires par leurs feuilles, leurs graines et leurs exsudats. Leur composition chimique montre un certain équilibre énergétique à la consommation et permet de comprendre la santé de nos paysans malgré ce qu'on laisse entendre sur la pauvreté et la sous-alimentation. Dans le cadre de nos travaux pour une meilleure connaissance des espèces tant sur le plan taxonomique, biologique qu'ethnobotanique, nous avons mené depuis cinq ans une enquête sur les différentes utilisations des espèces ligneuses. Le présent travail concerne particulièrement les espèces ligneuses dont certains organes sont utilisés dans alimentation humaine. Nous nous sommes limités à ne parler que d'une vingtaine d'espèces.
This paper is concerned with the transition from hunting and gathering to food production in West Africa, based on evidence from the Sahel Zone of Burkina Faso compiled by field research during the last years. Our study intends to enhance the knowledge about the West African versions of this transition, traditionally seen as one of the most fundamental changes in human prehistory. Embedded in an interregional program the Sahel Zone of Burkina Faso has proved to be one of its most unexpected examples.
Tenkodogo, a township situated in the south-eastern part of Burkina Faso on the road leading from the capital Ouagadougou to the Togo border, has approximately 29,000 inhabitants. It is Burkina's seventh largest town and is the location of the regional government of the Boulgou-Province. This regional government is represented by a high-commissioner and a "préfet" as it is the residence of a traditional ruler, otherwise known as Tenkodogo-naaba. His sphere of influence covers many villages and hamlets in the region: in total he is the sovereign of nearly 120,000 people. The power of the traditional rulers was curtailed first by the arrival and following overrule of the French colonialists and then after independence by Sankara and his revolutionary government. The kings ceased to be the ultimate judges who were able to determine life and death of their subjects. Henceforth they were no longer allowed to recruit subjects for certain work on their fields, and they no longer could claim control over the allocation of resources. Their position was strengthened anew by Sankara's successor in office, Blaise Campaore, who quickly recognized that collaborating with the traditional rulers could only be of advantage: in fact they later proved to be his best supporters in the election campaign.
Einmal im Jahr, einundzwanzig Tage nach dem für Ahnen und Jenseitsmächte zelebrierten Erntedank, würdigen König und Hofstaat mit einem gesonderten Fest, Bugum Yaoge~, den Vorfahren, von dem sich die Tenkodogo-Dynastie in direkter Linie herleitet: Naaba Bugum. Naaba Bugum selbst hat seinen Fuß wahrscheinlich nie nach Ye~le~yan gesetzt, wie Tenkodogo - in Anlehnung an einen nahen Regenzeitfluß - damals noch hieß. Naaba Sigri leitete den Beginn einer Expansion ein, die etwa hundert Jahre später, unter einem seiner Nachfolger, Naaba Bãogo, zur Unterwerfung der südlichen Bisa von Loanga und Bane und damit zur größten territorialen Ausdehnung vor Einzug der französischen Kolonialmacht führen sollte.
The paper gives a brief history of the Fulçe people who are found all over West and Central Africa. Since no study of a people is complete without mentioning their language, the paper also gives a very brief account of Fulfulde, the language of the Fulçe people. However, the central focus of the paper is the concept of pulaaku, that unique attribute of the Fulçe that serves as an unwritten code of conduct for all ‘true’ Fulçe. Pulaaku is Fulçe’s guiding principle in their dealings with their fellow Fulçe as well as with all other people. Rather than talk about pulaaku in isolation, however, the paper tries to mirror it through Fulfulde proverbs. Coded or loaded messages called wise-sayings or proverbs are widely used in all languages. Fulfulde is particularly rich in this, which is why the paper explores this reservoir of knowledge in trying to portray the rich culture of the Fulçe people. The corpus of proverbs from which the selected proverbs come, was compiled in and around Gombe with the help of Mallam Bappayo Bappa Yerima Djibril. Since the Fulçe are easily the most dispersed people in Africa, no single study can do real justice to all of them. This is why this study narrows its scope to cover just the Fulçe of Gombe area of the northeastern of Nigeria.
The tale portrays the unhappy life of a dove. Constantly surrounded by enemies, hunted by human beings and animals, disappointed by friends and separated from her family, the dove despairs of her life. She ponders over her unjust fate in this world and in a monologue she begins to consider, whether it would not be better to end her own life. This tragic theme forms the climax of several episodes, in which the tension between life and death is described. The elaborate development of dramatic acts demonstrates the intertwining of guilt and innocence in human existence.
It is one of the paradoxes of the history of the states of the Central Sudan that Borno, the state with the longest tradition of Islamic literacy should have such an illestablished chronology - especially for the nineteenth century - when compared with its neighbours. No kinglist has been published, no list with regnal years, such as is known from other states. Our problems are compounded by the fact that every known list is presented in the Christian solar calendar and there is no way in which we can be certain that the original material has been correctly converted from the Muslim lunar calendar. In the paper that follows I have attempted to establish a chronology based primarily upon Arabic sources and upon the Muslim calendar. These sources include state seals which usually are engraved with the date of the year of accession; mahrams, charters, or grants of privilege, or rather renewal of such grants by newly appointed leaders. It was the practice for owners of such documents to have them renewed at the beginning of a new reign. When attempting to date events connected with the eclipse of the al-Kanimiyyin and the advent of Rabih I have also made use of evidence relating to the seasons and to various meteorological conditions.
Située dans l'extrême sud-est de Burkina Faso, la Chaîne grèseuse de Gobnangou se détache du reste du paysage par d'abruptes falaises. Autant les terres au nord que celles au sud sont exceptionnellement densément peuplées. Les Gulmances qui y vivent font de l'agriculture itinérante. Les périodes de cultures varient selon la qualité du sol de 5 à 20 ans. Les périodes de jachères pour la régénération des sols varient énormément selon les types de sols et l'intensité de l'utilisation précédente et peuvent aller jusqu'à 30 ans. Mais ici aussi, l'explosion démographique entraîne une diminution du temps de jachères. L'aspect de la végétation et sa composition diffèrent beaucoup et dépendent de nombreux facteurs. Ils sont surtout influencés par l'homme: outre l'agriculture itinérante, le pâturage, la coupe du bois de chauffage et les feux peuvent être citer. On decrirá ici les communautés de végétations de deux types de sites qui ont pour point commun d'être portées par des sols pauvres. La principale différence entre ces types de sites est la profondeur des sols et donc leur ressources en eau.
Over approximately the last 200 years, north-west Ghana and large areas of neighbouring southern Burkina Faso were the stage for a highly successful expansion of Dagara-speaking peoples. Probably setting out from an area around Wa, small groups of Dagara migrated towards the north, some of them taking a westward route, crossing the Black Volta river into today’s Burkina Faso. They rarely advanced into nomansland but rather displaced peoples such as Sisala-, Dyan-, Phuie- and Bwamu-speaking groups, who then moved further west and north. Today, the Dagara occupy about 3500 km2 in southern Burkina Faso, where they represent the sixth largest language group. In this paper I wish to explore the history of the north-west frontier of Dagara expansion and the interaction between the “land-owning” Phuo and the incoming Dagara.
