Extractions: The regional delegation pursued its activities aimed at supporting the National Societies of the region and disseminating humanitarian law. In January a regional workshop was held in Dakar to present a training programme in humanitarian law to the armed forces of West Africa. Nearly 40 officers from Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Senegal attended. The regional delegation also organized a seminar in Bamako (Mali) in June for the security and police forces of ten French- and Portuguese-speaking West African countries. The programme covered the application of humanitarian law, human rights and the maintenance of law and order. Another seminar was held in Dakar in July for the Presidents and Secretaries General of the National Societies of Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Senegal.
Extractions: In addition to its specific activities in Mali and the Casamance region of Senegal, the regional delegation continued its cooperation with the National Societies of the region, conducting dissemination sessions for various target groups, encouraging instruction in humanitarian law, and on a practical level, helping to fight epidemics of cholera, promote public health and give first-aid training to local volunteers. Following an ICRC mission to Cape Verde, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs deposited the instruments of accession to Additional Protocols I and II with the Swiss government on 16 March 1995. The government of Cape Verde also made a declaration recognizing the competence of the International Fact-Finding Commission. A new attempted counter-coup on 27January resulted in the imprisonment of a number of people accused of being involved, including the Vice-President and the Minister of the Interior. The ICRC visited 24 individuals arrested in this connection and a further 80 security detainees held at Mile 2 prison and in hospitals and barracks for reasons related to events in 1994.

Extractions: In the Western Sudan, the groundnut is one of the most important cash crops and food staple nowadays. Unlike the African bambara groundnut, it is not an indigenous species, but was brought by Portuguese traders from the Americas in the 16th century. It quickly spread through the Sudan due to its high nutrition values, draught resistance and later, as a product of long distance trade for its oils. Now it is one of the main agricultural products of landscapes that far apart as The Gambia and Northern Cameroon. Related items Pages The groundnuts or peanuts are originally South American, were they were grown by Indian communities. It was introduced to West-Africa (first the Senegambia area) by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Here it spread quickly, though faster in the interior of Africa than along the coast. Cultivation on a larger scale began before 1830 in Senegambia, mostly as insurance against failure of the millet harvest, because of it's resistance to drought. The first small exports from Senegambia to Europe were reported from the year 1830. There fallowed a boom in exports when the potentials for peanut oil was realized. I industrializing Europe there now was an ever-growing demand for lubricating oils. Further, oils were needed in the production of soap, as there at the same time was massive campaigning for new standards of hygiene. And of course, vegetable oils were needed for cooking.
Extractions: In Senegal, the ICRC's main concern was to have access to the people detained in connection with the situation in Casamance. After repeated requests, the ICRC obtained written permission from the authorities in April. The first visits were made in May and June to two places of detention in Dakar and Ziguinchor; they took place in accordance with the ICRC's customary procedures. In addition, sporadic clashes between the army and the MDFC* in Casamance continued to affect the civilian population, particularly by barring access to certain villages and agricultural areas. The Senegalese Red Cross Society, with the help of the ICRC, distributed ad hoc food aid to civilian victims of the fighting. Besides dealing with these particular priorities, the Dakar regional delegation continued throughout the year to promote humanitarian law and encouraged its implementation at the national level, providing the advisory services offered to States to that effect. The ICRC also continued, within its area of competence, to support National Societies in the region.
Extractions: In Niger insecurity prevailed for the greater part of the year in the north and east of the country, where certain rebel groups, tired of waiting for the fulfilment of the promises made at the signing of the 1995 peace agreement, officially dissociated themselves from the peace process. As a result, both the army and the police hardened their positions. This turn of events was accompanied by a serious political crisis following the coup d'état and presidential elections in 1996, and by social tensions and economic problems. In 1997 the ICRC conducted several missions to Niger, in particular to step up its dialogue with the authorities on humanitarian problems in the country and to encourage greater acceptance of the organization's specific mandate. In Senegal the year was marked by a very noticeable rise in tension in Casamance. The cease-fire declared in 1995 between the government and the Movement of Democratic Forces of Casamance was broken in March. Clashes between government and rebel forces claimed dozens of victims, including civilians, while several thousand people had to leave their homes because of the insecurity. The ICRC continued its visits to persons arrested in connection with the crisis and further developed its programmes to disseminate humanitarian law, in particular in government circles and among the armed forces (including the contingents stationed in Casamance) and the police. In addition, the ICRC supported the work undertaken by the Senegalese Red Cross Society in the troubled region.

Extractions: Regional Representative, West Africa Region In general, several of the activities proposed did not go as planned. The lack of communication existing between the Regional Representative and several councillors has seriously frustrated all efforts to coordinate CVA programmes in this region. For example, Nigeria, Cameroon and Sierra Leone still remain inactive and their lack of participation has resulted in the postponement of the Fertility and Regional Workshops scheduled for last year. However, the other two member states, namely Ghana and The Gambia are fully financial and are actively undertaking some aspects of the CVA Workplan, including the proposed Regional Workshop. 1.
