- International_University_of_Africa abstract "The International University of Africa (Arabic: جامعة افريقيا العالمية) is a public University in Khartoum, Sudan.It is a member of the Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World.The university has faculties of Education and Humanities, Shariah and Islamic Studies and of Pure and Applied Sciences.The university has its origins in the Islamic African Centre, established in Khartoum in 1977.In 1992 the military government of Colonel Omar al-Bashir upgraded the institute to a university.Although the word "Islamic" was dropped from the title, Islamic studies are an important part of the curriculum.The university has been active in Islamic higher education in sub-Saharan Africa since it was created.Due to its location and cultural history the Sudan has been hosting a steady flow of groups from neighboring countries who were either in pursuit of knowledge or were on their way to perform pilgrimage. Some stayed behind either with a shaykh (religious leader) of fleeing religious persecution which set in as a result of European colonization. Others were forced by incessant wars to seek refuge and education in the Sudan.In 1978 a number of scholars set up the Islamic African Institute with popular effort. The Institute began by accepting African students at the intermediate and secondary levels. But after only two years this project was stopped. Later on the Government of the Sudan revived the idea and decided to establish the Centre on wider basis and with greater facilities. It invited a number of Arab countries to contribute to this project. Six Countries responded positively. These were: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, The United Arab Emirates and Morocco whose representatives formed the Centre’s board of trustees and drew a statute which was approved by the Government of the Sudan and ratifies by the founding states. The Board of Trustees became the highest authority.The Government of the Sudan granted the centre a big plot of land and the president of the Republic gave it diplomatic immunities and privileges which helped it to develop and progress quickly. The National Salvation Government ratified the previous statute.Between 1977 and 1986 the establishment of the Islamic African Centre was accomplished and its administration and systems were settled and started to bear its fruits in the form of hundreds of graduates. The Centre could accommodate 800 students and the standard of studies was promoted to second level by setting up two university colleges. The Centre’s social and cultural activities which manifested themselves in the form of teacher training courses, youth cultural mission and graduates associations won good reputation. The Centre became the object of hope and the number of applicants increased to the extent that in an African country more than 500 applicants competed for ten scholarship awards.The interest in the Centre’s scholarships increased and more pressure was put on it because the scholarships awards- which used to be provided by some Arab universities-stopped.It is to be regretted that as from 1405AH the Centre suffered a financial crisis because some member states failed to pay their contributions, and the Centre’s activity was curtailed because the annual budget was reduced at the same time in which two colleges were established.In 1411AH, and due to the great demand of African students for higher education, the Government of the Sudan issued the following decree:1)Elevating the Islamic African Centre to University statute with the name: International University of Africa.2)Inviting interested countries and charitable institutions to become members of the Board of Trustees.3)Ratifying the official seat agreement between the Government of the Sudan and the University and allowing it to retain the immunities and privileges granted to the Islamic African Centre.4) The University was established with almost the full support of the Government of the Sudan, new faculties, institutes and centers were set up and study programmes became diversified including studies at applied science faculties. Programmes of post-graduate studies were introduced. The number of students multiplied greatly; and the University’s internal and external relations were extended resulting a unique international African university.The University runs the College of Education, Zanzibar, with a 2006 enrolment of 466 students.In 2011, according to Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales, Madrid, the university ranked 10,924 in the world, fifth in Sudan. In Sudan, it ranked behind the University of Khartoum, Sudan University of Science & Technology, National Ribat University and Karary University.Officially the Chancellor of the university is the President of the Country. In effect, the head of the university is the Vice-Chancellor.The university is legally independent from the Sudanese state, but the government is the largest financial backer.Classes are mostly held in Arabic, but most of the students come from non-Arabic-speaking African nations and from other countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia.The university, working with other organizations, established the Disaster Management and Refugees Studies Institute in 1993.The Institute was inaugurated in 1994 at a ceremony attended by Salim Ahmed Salim, Secretary General of the Organization of African Unity. It undertakes training and development of approaches to disaster management in the Horn of Africa.In April 2011 the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Hassan Mekki, met the Islamic Relief Agency Secretary General, Adnan Bin Khalil Al-Basha in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The two signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in charity and relief work.".
