      [A]ll of us are determined to remain outside world conflicts which do not concern us; singly we are too weak to avoid being used by those whose help we need, but together we shall be able to accept aid and investment without endangering our national integrity and independence. It is in this spirit that we are working towards African Unity. We have no desire to isolate our continent from the rest of the world, nor to build an aggressive, hostile continent.

      Julius Nyerere to David Ben-Gurion, 22 June 1963¹
