You can no longer see or identify yourself solely as a member of a tribe, but as a citizen of a continent of one people working towards the emancipation of our glorious continent reclaiming its place in the world. #AfricaDay ❤️✊🏾
Some History: May 25 #AfricaDay (formerly African Freedom Day) commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (now African Union) on 25 May 1963. There were 32 signatories. Africa’s population was 304 Million. Today we’re 55 nations, and 1.4 Billion people.
Happy #AfricaDay. This day was first held in 1963 in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, when 32 countries formed the Organisation of Africa Unity (OAU).
The purpose of the African Union was to fight colonialism and apartheid and to pursue a Pan African unity.
