What is World Africa Day:
World Africa Day has its roots in the struggle for independence and decolonization of African nations. On May 25, 1963, representatives from 32 independent African countries gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to establish the Organization of African Unity (OAU). Their primary objectives were to promote African solidarity, support the liberation movements of those still under colonial rule, and foster cooperation among African nations. This historic event laid the foundation for Africa's progress and unity.
