What you need to know:
Nyerere as one of a frontline pan-African leader; writing about the essence of the formation of the OAU and the unity of the continent, he asserted: “Africa wishes to have the political strength to prevent other powers using her for their own ends, and it wishes to have the economic strength to justify and support a modern economy, which is the only basis on which prosperity can come to its people….For each one of us is so weak in isolation….Without unity, there is no future for Africa.”
