Abstract
This article outlines the different trajectories of the indigenous rights movementin Africa, and discusses the factors that have contributed to its success or decline. Two casestudies are compared; namely, the case of the San people of Botswana in Southern Africa, andthe case of the Mbororo people of Cameroon in West Africa. On a general level, this articleargues that the indigenous rights movement in different parts of Africa has gone through variousphases, from expectation and success to disillusionment and pragmatism. Moreover, it demonstratesthat the San and Mbororo communities and other groups not only rely on the globalindigenous rights movement, but have also adopted alternative and complementary strategies todeal with the unforeseen consequences of this movement. Finally, we argue that our case studiesattest to the enduring relevance of the nation-state and the ideal of ethnic coexistence in Africa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
