Subject West African franc. Significance Despite apparent growing domestic opposition to the CFA franc in recent years, regional government efforts to defend its integrity have increased, particularly among the Central African Economic and Monetary Community countries (CEMAC). On the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) side, an uptick in the volume and issuers of Eurobonds has increased dependence on the key feature of the CFA franc -- its unlimited convertibility to euros guaranteed by the French Treasury. Impacts Complacency among WAEMU countries could replace macroeconomic instability in CEMAC as the main threat to the CFA franc. As the sole CEMAC country without an IMF package, Equatorial Guinea will come under growing pressure to finalise negotiations for one soon. Greater progress towards macroeconomic convergence in the CFA zone will shield its members from the proposed ECOWAS ‘Eco’ zone.

The Status

AbstractThis article explores the nexus between language policies and language ideologies in Equatorial Guinea and West Africa. By analyzing spoken and written discourses in Spanish and Pichi, I identify a set of ideas and beliefs about Pichi and the semiotic processes by which they have emerged. The comparison of Pichi with Krio, Nigerian Pidgin, Cameroon Pidgin and Ghanaian Pidgin English shows that Pichi is the most disadvantaged of the West African English-lexicon creoles with respect to a number of sociolinguistic characteristics. I argue that linguistic ideologies about Pichi have contributed significantly to disregarding language policy options for elevating the status and extending the uses of Pichi in Equatorial Guinea. Pichi is nevertheless expected to expand its social functions by gradually conquering additional domains of use as has been the case with the other English creoles of West Africa.

Widespread Phenomenon

The purpose of this article is not only to explain an African constitution, but also to examine, in that context, certain general ideas about constitutions and politics. The Ivory Coast, a former French West African colony, gained full independence as late as 1960. As a newly independent state, with a population of under four million, the Ivory Coast is participating in a nation-building experiment which the flood of new countries has made a widespread phenomenon of our times. The experiment is doubly meaningful for other countries. First, its results will weigh significantly in the balance of world power; secondly, as Ivorians look to the western example in pursuing their experiment, the West can see, reflected in Ivorians' words and deeds, a new and different image of itself.

A regular, though infrequent, artisanal whaling operation targeting humpback whales has been known to occur from the West African island of Annobón, Equatorial Guinea, since the late 18th century. Little has been known outside of Equatorial Guinea about this whaling operation since the mid-1970s. This paper presents a brief history of Annobonés whaling, describes recently surfaced evidence of its continuation as recently as 2017 and considers the future of the operation.

On May 12th, 1962, the West African Monetary Union was established by treaty between six French-speaking African states, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Upper Volta, Niger and Dahomey. This Union is linked with France by a system of “operations accounts” concluded between the French Treasury and individual issuing banks. The system ensures the free inter-state convertibility of their currencies and with the French franc, the C.F.A.F. (Communauté Financière Africaine Franc) being guaranteed by the French Republic. Under this system commercial and financial transactions are free within this monetary area, and within the Franc Zone. A common central bank, the Central Bank of West African States, was set up.

Morphosyntactic Feature

The Mande language Dan, which is spoken in the West African countries of Guinea, the Ivory Coast, and Liberia, is among the few African languages that distinguish between five tone registers. Metrical feet in this language play a role with respect to nasal harmony as well as tonal and vocalic combinations. This chapter also presents a general overview of simple and complex sentences, with a special focus on locative marking, which constitutes a prominent morphosyntactic feature of Dan nouns, as well as on lability, which is a typologically interesting feature of the other major category in the language, the verb.
