Louis Placide Blacher (Born 5 October 1883 in Saint-Pierre, Martinique; died 26 October 1960 in Paris) was a French colonial official. He was governor of Niger, Dahomey, French Somaliland and Guinea. Blacher came from Martinique and had African ancestors. In 1905 he began to work for the French colonial administration in Madagascar and later moved to French West Africa. There he was particularly involved in recruiting African soldiers during the First World War. Similar to Félix Éboué, who also had a black skin color and was not born in Africa, the French colonial administration calculated so that Blacher could take on the role of a "middleman" between the African people and their European rulers. He was appointed governor of the Nigerian colony of French West Africa in 1930, which he remained until 1931. In 1932 he was governor of Dahomey, from 1932 to 1934 governor of French Somaliland and finally from 1936 to 1940 governor of Guinea. In October 1938, married Blacher in Conak ...

Tibesti
The Tibesti Mountains are a mountain range in the central Sahara, primarily located in the extreme north of Chad, with a small portion located in southern Libya. The highest peak in the range, Emi Koussi, lies to the south at a height of and is the highest point in both Chad and the Sahara. Bikku Bitti, the highest peak in Libya, is located in the north of the range. The central third of the Tibesti is of volcanic origin and consists of five volcanoes topped by large depressions: Emi Koussi, Tarso Toon, Tarso Voon, Tarso Yega and Toussidé. Major lava flows have formed vast plateaus that overlie Paleozoic sandstone. The volcanic activity was the result of a continental hotspot that arose during the Oligocene and continued in some places until the Holocene, creating fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools and deposits of natron and sulfur. Erosion has shaped volcanic spires and carved an extensive network of canyons through which run rivers subject to highly irregular flows that are ra ...

French West Africa
French West Africa (french: Afrique-Occidentale française, ) was a federation of eight French colonial territories in West Africa: Mauritania, Senegal, French Sudan (now Mali), French Guinea (now Guinea), Ivory Coast, Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), Dahomey (now Benin) and Niger. The federation existed from 1895 until 1958. Its capital was Saint-Louis, Senegal until 1902, and then Dakar until the federation's collapse in 1960. History Until after World War II, almost none of the Africans living in the colonies of France were citizens of France. Rather, they were "French subjects", lacking rights before the law, property ownership rights, rights to travel, dissent, or vote. The exception was the Four Communes of Senegal: those areas had been towns of the tiny Senegal Colony in 1848 when, at the abolition of slavery by the French Second Republic, all residents of France were granted equal political rights. Anyone able to prove they were born in these towns was legally Fre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
