February 1959: A Partnership Begins - Fresh from bringing independence to his country, Sekou Toure comes to Ghana to meet Nkrumah. A dramatic meeting. A historic moment. The head of newly-born state, M. Skou Tour of Guinea, steps down from a plane on to the tarmac at Accra. There to greet him is the head of another new state- a bare eighteen months senior to his own. The two men embrace. Their two countries embrace as well. For, following a few days of conference, the world hears a thrilling announcement. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Skou Tour of Guinea have decided to merge their two countries into one. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
