STORYLINE:
African leaders attending the 37th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU) on Sunday unveiled a life-size statue of the late Tanzanian President, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, erected on the premises of the pan-African body's headquarters in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
Nyerere is credited as being at the forefront of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), a predecessor to today's AU. He was also one of the founding fathers of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Nyerere's sculpture is the third statue erected on the premises of the AU headquarters next to the late Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, and the late Ghanaian President, Kwame Nkrumah.
