>AFRICAN UNION DIASPORA CONFERENCE, December 16 - 19 at the Wyndham City
>Center Hotel, 1143 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20037. Telephone:
>202-775-0800.
> This conference is being organized or coordinated by The Foundation
>For Democracy in Africa. Tel. (202)331-1333. I have taken off 18th and 19th
>December in order to attend. It is my understanding that African Union is
>coming to Washington to seek input from all Africans on how African countries
>can forge ahead like other nations. I thought that is novel idea of the
>African Union which used to be OAU. I spoke personally with Fred Oladeinde,
>president of The Foundation for Democracy in Africa. Please spread the word
>to many Africans not just Nigerians.
>Best wishes.
