Today in history, exactly 57 years ago, on 25 May, 1963, the first African organisation after independence, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) was formed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in which President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia played prominent roles.

COMMENT: Africa should look at building lasting peace, wealth for its people

Today marks the 57th anniversary of Africa Day. Africa Day is celebrated across the continent, but more so in Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Namibia, Zambia, Mali, Mauritania, Lesotho and Zimbabwe, where it is observed as an official national holiday. This important day was born in 1963 when 32 independent African states signed a founding charter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the auspices of the newly formed Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The initial process, however, began in 1958 when 17 African nations established African Liberation Day, to commemorate their independence from European colonialism. In 2001, the OAU became the African Union (AU). Due to the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the AU has said this year’s celebrations be held virtually and online under the theme: “Silencing The Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development and Intensifying the Fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic.”

AU Day: Address by AU Chair
