"It has been quite a historic in the annals of the
Organization of African Unity. President Nujoma of Namibia
hoisted the Namibian Flag at the OAU Headquarters. It was
also historic because this was the first time that the hero
of the African people, Nelson Mandela, Deputy President of
the African National Congress appeared before and addressed
the Summit. On a personal level this Summit was also of
particular significance because it was my first Summit." - Dr. Salim, July 8, 1990
