Africa Day is celebrated annually on May 25 to commemorate the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was established on May 25, 1963. The OAU, now known as the African Union (AU), was created to promote unity, solidarity, and cooperation among African nations and to eradicate all forms of colonialism from Africa.
The founding members of the OAU were 32 independent African states, and today the African Union comprises 55 member states.
Africa Day is an opportunity to celebrate the rich cultural heritage, diversity, and achievements of African countries and their people. The day serves as a reminder of the progress made in areas such as political independence, economic development, and social and cultural advancement. Africa Day also highlights the ongoing challenges faced by the continent, such as poverty, conflict, and disease, and calls for continued efforts towards sustainable development, peace, and unity.
Various events and activities are organized across the continent and around the world to commemorate Africa Day, including:
1. Cultural events: Art exhibitions, music and dance performances, and film screenings showcase the rich and diverse African culture.
2. Conferences and panel discussions: Experts, policymakers, and activists participate in debates and discussions on key issues affecting Africa, such as sustainable development, peace, and human rights.
