Dr. Salim met with President Julius Nyerere in Freetown, Sierra Leone to discuss the question of the United Nations Secretary General campaign as well as joining the Olof Palme Commission on Disarmament and Security Issues.

"The President's enthusiastic support for my candidature was again manifested. With respect to specifics, Mwalimu made the following comments:

  • I should make it a point soon and using my own methods to make the Secretary-General know that I shall be a candidate;

  • He is trying on the home front to keep things in such a way that they do not prejudice my prospects. He hopes that our troops should be out of Uganda by September or thereabout. In any case he will do his utmost so that our policies do not impact adversely on my possible candidature.

  • He agreed to make his own approaches to several Heads of State soliciting their support for my candidature. Among them would be the Presidents of Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Cameroon." -Dr Salim, July 3, 1980
