"In conclusion, it is fair to point out the fact that even if the issue of sovereignty was for many years a very sensitive subject and almost a no-go area at the OAU, recent developments, particularly the adoption of the Mechanism on Conflict Prevention, Management and Resolution, has opened the way for an increasing flexibility on the part of Member States. I believe that Africa is undergoing a fundamental and dynamic process of change. In dealing with issues such as popular participation, responsive governance, non-interference, sovereignty, and how to safeguard independence and Statehood, what was considered to be impossible only a few years ago is now manifesting itself throughout the Continent." - Dr. Salim, March 23, 1995
