An experimental study was conducted in Gbadolite city to develop composts from peanut (Groundnut) and maize residues alone or combined. The study found that plots modified with compost based on peanut (Groundnut)  residues combined with corn residues are of good quality compared to  non-waste compost combined and unamended plots as indicated by the average values of plant height (91.9±0.79 cm vs. 54.0±1.35 cm), diameter at the collar (12.66±0.47 mm vs. 9.00±1.41 mm); number of leaves ( 20.6±0.47 vs. 15.6±0.47); leaf lengths (23.5±1.17 cm vs. 19.4±1.92 cm ); leaf widths (7.32±0.44 cm vs. 6.34±0.68 cm) yield per hectare ( 22.63±0.67T/ha vs 11.51±2.85 T/ha ). It is therefore desirable that compost be characterized from a physical-chemical point of view (pH, minerals, C/N ratio, etc.) and considers the production of other plants grown on this substrate in order to assess its effectiveness.

We present results from a study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that uses mobile money networks to run rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAs), peer-to-peer finance groups ubiquitous across the developing world. We find high rates of contribution and ROSCA success. The unexpected success of such e-ROSCAs and their potential to extend banking to the bankless poor necessitate further exploration.

Constitutional Incorporation of the (Collective) Freedom to Govern Mineral Wealth: Comparing the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Zambia

The Republic

Constitutionalism may be gaining ascendancy in many countries in Africa. Yet thorough investigation of the extent to which current constitutions accord to the people their internationally recognised right to governance of their mineral wealth under Article 1(2) of the ICCPR has been lacking. Understanding the existing framework of rights which may support claims to land and natural resources is important. Constitutions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Zambia demonstrate the reality of multiple, overlapping land interests and the limitations upon a people's claim to freely govern their mineral wealth.

The experiment has been conducted in the nursery of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Design, College of Agriculture, the University of Basrah to study the effect of Spraying foliar of the biostimulants Izomen and Humus on the growth and flowering of Freesia plants. The corms in similar size were planted in pots with a diameter and height of 25 cm, which filled with 2.5 kg of sterilized loam soil. After 50 days of planting, the plants sprayed with Humus at 0, 1.5, 2.5 ml L-1 and after five days sprayed with Izomen at 0, 1.5, 2.5 ml L-1 The different concentrations of biostimulants are sprayed three times, the period between one spray and another 15 is days. The results showed that the spraying of Humus at 2.5 ml L-1 significantly increased the plant height, the number of leaves and the leaf content of chlorophyll recorded (29.56 cm, 8.33 and 58.43%) respectively. Moreover, it is recorded early the flowering date (130 days), and the highest flowering mean is (2.12 inflorescence/plant) and the highest period of the remained flowers on the plant and the vase life (10 and 8 days) respectively. The effects of both Humus and Izomen were similar. In addition to the highest mean of their interaction at 2.5 ml L -1for all the studied traits.
