Keynote Address at the Southern Africa Sub-Regional Seminar

"Africa seems to be treated differently when it comes to responding to its security problems, There is indeed a growing feeling within our continent that there is an element of double standards in dealing with African crisis or conflict situations as compared to some crises elsewhere especially in terms of provision of much needed resources. This is evident for example, in the shrinking resources being provided to meet the needs of the millions of African Refugees and displaced persons." - Dr. Salim, September 22, 2002
