What is Bandits in West Africa

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Bandits, rebels and criminals: African history and Western criminology. This article reviews the different themes mentioned in two recent books that deal with crime in Africa. The first, "Banditry, Rebellion and Social Protest in Africa", represents a collection of seventeen historical studies collected by Donald Crummey on crime, banditry, protest and rebellion in colonial Africa. The second, "Crime, Justice and Culture in Black Africa", constitutes a criminological study of crime and justice in contemporary African societies. The review begins with a brief summary of how crime was given political significance in the various 'news' criminalities that have developed in the West over the past twenty years. These themes appear in similar forms in African history: the question of discovering the political significance of 'ordinary' crime; the categorization of the 'social bandit' as originally suggested by Hobsbawm; the relationship between subjective motivation and genuine legitimation. All these themes are present in the collection of Crummey. Brillon's book presents an anthropological account of conventional crime in Africa. It is much less a political writing about the meaning of crime than an explanation of the socially constructed nature of official crime statistics.

Answer 2
They said these “bandits” are mostly ethnic Fulanis like they are, traditionally nomadic herders who have seen public grazing lands shrink and their cattle and sheep stolen by soldiers and rustlers. They said various governments have neglected and even harassed them – and failed to protect their way of life.

“Everyone knows we are herders. This country is blessed with oil and other natural resources,” but that bounty doesn’t filter down, Shehu Rekep, the group’s deputy, said in justifying its crimes. “We have not been educated, we don’t have security, and the government is not doing anything for us. We are being killed, but we are always reported as the killers.”

The bandits’ camp

Armed men on motorcycles fetched the journalists from an appointed meeting place to visit the gang’s forest hideout in the far northern part of Zamfara state for an interview last Monday. Someone fired a gun skyward, announcing their arrival. Roughly 30 men milled about the clearing, soon joined by at least 20 others, including several women. Most wore scarves that covered their faces, and they carried assault rifles. Some had rifles equipped with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

Why weren't explorers eager to create colonies in North America like they were in South America and Mexico? What did they get from each region?

Answers

South America had more promise, the 3 movies Tibet were god, glory, and gold. South America had gold, could provide glory if conquered and had people who could convert religions, hence god. South America mainly provided gold and jewels. North America provided raw goods
The explorers weren’t as eager to create colonies in the north since there wasn’t gold there like there was in the south. The south was better for farming and whatnot as well which also played into the want to settle in the south and whatnot. The north mainly provided raw goods while the south had items such as gold and jewels which were much more desirable.

HELP IM BEGGING U PLS HELP ME AND I WILLLL MAKEEEE YOUUUUUU A BRAINLIESTTTTTTTTT
AND IF U ARE GETTING THE ANSWER FROM A WEBSITE CALLED (LEGACY FILES) I WILL NOT MAKE U A BRAINLIESTTT

Answers

Answer:

On the morning of September 17, 490 bc, some 10,000 Greeks stood assembled on the plain of Marathon, preparing to fight to the last man. Behind them lay everything they held dear: their city, their homes, their families. In front of the outnumbered Greeks stood the assembled forces of the Persian empire, a seemingly invincible army with revenge, pillage and plunder on its mind.

The Athenians’ feelings are best expressed by Aeschylus, who fought in the Persian wars, in his tragic play The Persians: “On, sons of the Hellenes! Fight for the freedom of your country! Fight for the freedom of your children and of your wives, for the gods of your fathers and for the sepulchers of your ancestors! All are now staked upon the strife!”

The two sides faced each another directly, waiting for the fight to start. The Athenians stalled for days, anticipating reinforcements promised by Sparta. But they knew they could not wait for long. The Persians, expecting as easy a victory as they had won against enemies so many times before, were in no hurry.

The Greeks, knowing the time for battle had come, began to move forward. Ostensibly, they advanced with focus and purpose, but beneath this firm veneer, as they looked on a vastly larger enemy — at least twice their number — many must have been fearful of what was to come. The Persian archers sat with their bows drawn, ready to loose a barrage of arrows that would send fear and confusion through the Greek ranks.

“The Athenians advanced at a run towards the enemy, not less than a mile away,” recounted the historian Herodotus. “The Persians, seeing the attack developed at the double, prepared to meet it, thinking it suicidal madness for the Athenians to risk an assault with so small a force — rushing in with no support from either cavalry or archers.”

Had the Persian archers been allowed to loose their bows, the battle might have ended before it had truly begun. Fighting their doubts and fears, the Athenians seized the initiative and rushed the Persians. Confronted by such a bold move and realizing their infantry would be pressed into action sooner than expected must have shaken Persian confidence.

The two Athenian commanders, Callimachus and Miltiades (the latter having fought in the Persian army himself), used their knowledge of Persian battle tactics to turn the tide further in their favor. As the clatter of spears, swords and shields echoed through the valley, the Greeks had ensured that their best hoplites (heavily armed infantry) were on the flanks and that their ranks were thinned in the center. Persian battle doctrine dictated that their best troops, true Persians, fought in the center, while conscripts, pressed into service from tribute states, fought on the flanks. The Persian elite forces surged into the center of the fray, easily gaining the ascendancy. But this time it was a fatal mistake. The Persian conscripts whom the Hellenic hoplites faced on the flanks quickly broke into flight. The Greeks then made another crucial decision: Instead of pursuing their fleeing foes, they turned inward to aid their countrymen fighting in the center of the battle.

Explanation:

''Dear Tom,

I was recently in the Athenian army and, it was shattering for a mind. When the Persian's first got to the shore of Athens to fight, they started attacking us right away. We were defending ourselves so much that, we couldn't attack! We sent somebody to race to Sparta for help but, they came too late. Good thing I survived!"

In what ways do the Crusades lend themselves to the current mistrust between Christians and Muslims? Explain your answer using complete sentences.
No links pleas

Answers

Answer:

Muslim forces ultimately expelled the European Christians who invaded the eastern Mediterranean repeatedly in the 12th and 13th centuries—and thwarted their effort to regain control of sacred Holy Land sites such as Jerusalem. Still, most histories of the Crusades offer a largely one-sided view, drawn originally from European medieval chronicles, then filtered through 18th and 19th-century Western scholars.

Explanation:

The Crusades increased Muslim religious tolerance. The Crusades heightened Muslims' suspicion of Europeans. The Crusades strengthened the Muslim empires. Constantinople's power grew as a result of the Crusades.

How did the Crusades impact Christianity?

The movement contributed to both the militarization of the medieval western Church and the persistence of criticism of that militarization. It may have contributed to the pope's control of the Church by making certain financial innovations central to Church operations. And it reflected as well as influenced devotional trends.

The Crusades had an impact on some socio-religious elements of the Muslim world, though not as profoundly as on Western Europe. Furthermore, the bitter legacy of these wars widened the hostility, hatred, and dissent that still exists between the West and the Muslim world in some form or another.
