Abstract

The dissolution of the Pan-African Freedom Movement for East, Central, and Southern Africa (PAFMECSA) and its replacement by the Committee of Nine, decided upon at the Addis Ababa Conference, was agreed upon by President Nyerere of Tanganyika and Mr. Kenneth Kaunda (Northern Rhodesian Minister of Local Government and Social Welfare) at discussions held in Dar-es-Salaam on September 24, 1963. PAFMECSA had been founded in September 1958 under the leadership of Mr. Nyerere and Mr. Tom Mboya (now Minister of Labor in Kenya) as a movement comprising, at that time, African nationalist parties from British territories in east and central Africa. The movement was subsequently enlarged in February 1962 following the entry of African nationalist parties from southern African countries. Its long-term objective had been an economic association of independent African states.
