UNITED NATIONS - The chairman of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) has opened the way for another African to be elected UN secretary general, urging African leaders to submit other names after the United States vetoed, Dr Boutros Boutros Ghali.
This appeared to break a deadlock following the November 19th US veto when African states still seemed reluctant to put forward other candidates while Dr Boutros Ghali remained in play.
