[edit] Maghreb - Goumier and Goum (WWII soldiers from North Africa and in some cases including the Sahel) are to be merged and then expanded.
- the Goumiers activity in Europe is not defined as scope of this task force, so it refers to the Maghreb region. Wandalstouring 20:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. Marocchinate does not take part of this project. -- Szvest 18:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sahara/Sahel - Garamantes needs expansion. They had wars with the Roman and the Islamic Empire. Wandalstouring 00:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] West-African coast, Niger river and Senegal river [edit] Congo river and neighbouring coastal area [edit] Cape of Good Hope to Zambezi river [edit] East Africa (Zanzibar, Madagascar, Seychelles, etc.) - Referencing of Rwandan Civil War: An anon on a rotating IP added a lot of detail that I've never seen anywhere else. (The literature on the 1994 genocide looks to have crowded out the literature on military history of the war.) The content looks legit and jives with my less detailed sources, but there's a lot of detail I just can't source. Help sourcing statements would be appreciated or even just letting me know what source to look at. - BanyanTree 12:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Resources [edit] Annotated bibliography Please use the following format when adding works: * <!-- bibliographical infomation --> ** Content: *** <!-- optional content summary --> ** Reviews: *** <!-- commentary on work by historians & other reputable sources --> ** Editor comments: *** <!-- personal commentary by editors --> - Current Bibliography on African Affairs (CBAA), Volume 4, No.3, 1971 has two review articles on historical African warfare and on the military's role in African states. SOAS and the British Library hold CBAA.
