Interview with Ghana Broadcasting Corporation: Why Didn't They Pick Someone Else As OAU SG?

On August 18, 1993, Dr. Salim arrived in Ghana for a special occasion: the launch of the Pan-African Writers Association (PAWA) Endowment Fund. Dr. Salim had recently secured a second term in office as OAU Secretary General.

But his visit was more than ceremonial. While in Accra, he sat down with David Ampofo, the sharp and inquisitive host of Searchlight, Ghana Broadcasting Corporation's flagship current affairs program.

In an open and wide-ranging conversation, they delved into the pressing challenges facing Africa - a thoughtful exchange at a pivotal moment for the continent's future.
