Another item on the agenda was the discussion of the resolutions brought forward from Members on calling an Extraordinary Conference.

There was a tremendous amount of unity shown amongst the members and there was a positive attitude to move forward to an agreeable solution. The EXCO stressed that the work of The World Federation should continue and should not be hampered by the current political situation.

Extensive Deliberations took place and the Executive Council set the date for the Extraordinary Conference as 1 May 2010 to be held in Dar es Salaam as suggested by Africa Federation and agreed by all Councillors present there. Other venues were also put forward but it was felt that it would be easier for delegates to travel to Dar es Salaam. The Executive Council as required by The Constitution also set the Agenda for the Extraordinary Conference.

Reflection and Recitation from the Holy Qur’an
