Africa at 40

"Africa has the will, the means and resources to take its rightful place in the next millennium. However, at the end of the day this will depend on how best Africa utilizes the resources and talents of its people and channel them towards the attainment of the collective goals of all its countries. I suggest that confidence and trust in ourselves is key in our endeavors as we prepare to enter the new millennium." - Dr. Salim, October 29, 1997
