		Thirty minutes into the four-and-half hour flight to Khartoum, the air crew informed some members of the delegation that the flight had to be aborted as a result of technical difficulties which needed immediate attention at the nearest airport.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Africa makes historic Sirte II Declaration of the African Union
		The Declaration, which climaxed a journey of 17 months from Sirte I, when the Union idea was unveiled in September 1999, could transform the dream of the region and its people, especially Libyan leader Col. Moammar Kadhafi, who could not hide his emotions after Salim had read the four-point statement.
		After hosting the 4th OAU Extra-ordinary Summit, or Sirte I, which conceived the African Union in September 1999, Libya also hosted preparatory meetings to Sirte II, by Ambassadors accredited to the OAU and the Council of Ministers, 22-26 February in Tripoli.
		The Libyan leader hailed the Sirte II Declaration, which is to be given greater vent at the OAU's July 2001, 37th Summit in Lusaka, Zambia, as the "beginning of a new balance of power," in a uni-polar world, where the US, Tripoli's arch-enemy holds sway.

		By the time the Sirte proclamation was made, all OAU member-states had signed the Act, which was passed at a summit also held in Sirte in September 1999, but only 31 states had ratified it.
		Emblematic of the continent’s lack of cohesion is the fact that African countries, whose borders were drawn in accordance with the interests of their colonial masters, continue to trade far more with European countries than they do with each other.
		In this regard, one delegate to the Sirte summit was quoted by Reuters as saying: "Egypt considers itself the sole gateway to Africa, Algeria as the continent’s unifier, and Morocco boycotts the OAU [over its recognition of the independence of the Western Sahara]."

		Their insistence on Africans choosing the two African countries for the UNSC permanent seat means the vote might have to wait till Sirte.
		As the Sirte summit veers into view, the old rivalries and new aspirations have combined to present a confusing situation there.
		For instance, if Sirte doesn't come up with any names that has at least a modicum of Arab support (like Egypt), it is likely, for instance that Maghreb and Arab nations, could vote against the resolution.
