    ABIDJAN

    Africa's foremost political body, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), has given Guinea US $250,000 for emergency projects, PANA reported at the weekend.

    OAU Secretary-General Salim Ahmed Salim presented the donation to Guinean Ambassador Mamadi Diawara in Addis Ababa, saying the gift was "a practical symbol of Africans expressing concern and solidarity" for each other in times of need. Diawara said Guinea would use the money to dig wells and for tree-planting projects.
