Salim Ahmed Salim

The Institute for Security Studies has published a short book titled "Salim Ahmed Salim: Son of Africa" edited by Jakkie Cilliers.  It is a biography of Zanzibari-born and senior Tanzanian government official who became the Secretary General of the Organization of African Unity. 

Salim Ahmed Salim is one of the outstanding leaders of Africa.  I had the honor of working with him when he served as Secretary General of the Organization of African Unity in Addis Ababa.
