BOUTRO BOUTROS-GHALI

Ever since my youth I have been inspired whenever I contemplate the Nile, the river-god my ancestors worshipped. The Nile flows on indifferent to mere events. It carries a message from the heart of Africa, our common home. It brings life to all who live near its banks. It contributes its water to the Mediterranean and the great civilizations which surround its shores. And ultimately it flows and merges with all the world’s oceans which link every continent and all people of our planet. To me, it is a constant reminder of our common humanity.
