JULIUS K. NYERERE

During his political career, Julis Nyerere grew to become one of the most respected and beloved African leaders through his message of peace, unity and liberation for the African people.

He was instrumental in the creation of the Organization of the African Unity (OAU) and acted as the keystone of several liberation movements across the continent as well as the union between Zanzibar and Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania.

His work continued beyond his retirement, acting as the chair of the Intergovernmental South Centre and in 1996 as the chief mediator in Burundi. He died on October 14, 1999 in London.
