Inauguration of Africa House - Residence of the OAU Secretary General
"We are gathered here today to inaugurate this house which is the Africa House in Addis Ababa and which is the result of collective efforts. Like in an individual's life, the construction of a house is a major achievement. For the Organization of African Unity, the inauguration of this house is a momentous event. It is not just a house but a house which symbolizes the unity and solidarity of our Continent and its Member States." - Dr. Salim, January 26, 1999
