History and Legal Status
EUCLID’s origins seem to be linked to the vision of Central African Republic Prime Minister Faustin-Archange Touadera, when he was the rector of the University of Bangui, to create an international extension for the university. The programs developed by the Euclid Consortium (‘Pôle d’Extension Universitaire Euclide’), of which the University of Bangui was a member, led to the establishment of EUCLID as an autonomous institution in 2008.
In January 2008, Syed Zahid Ali, the senior official of IOSD, the administrative organization for the Euclid Consortium, presented to various governments a new legal framework called EUCLID Phase 2. Several governments interested in using the Euclid programs to train their own staff approved the statutes of the new international university in 2008 and 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words legal status, history, legal and/or status:
“In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
