...From the start the meeting was a scene of confusion and cross-purposes. It began without an agenda, ended without a communiqué. There was, in fact, barely any meeting at all. Ben Bella arrived late-only half an hour before Sékou Touré had to leave. And Nkrumah had been in Bamako less than five hours when he suddenly decided he had urgent business elsewhere and flew home.
