Africa Unite*...

Africa is sometimes nicknamed the "Mother Continent" due to its being the oldest inhabited continent on Earth. Humans and human ancestors have lived in Africa for more than 5 million years (National Geographic, 2020).

Africa is our center of gravity, our cultural and spiritual mother and father, our beating heart, no matter where we live on the face of this earth. John Henrik Clarke

We are all children of Africa, and none of us is better or more important than the other. This is what Africa could say to the world: it could remind it what it is to be human. Alexander Mccall Smith

Unite we must. Without necessarily sacrificing our sovereignty, we can forge a political union based on defense, foreign affairs and diplomacy, and a common citizenship, an African currency, a monetary zone and a central bank. We must unite in order to achieve the full liberation of our continent.....Africa is one continent, one people and one nation. Kwame Nkrumah

Africa unite
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon
And we're going to our Father's land

How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man, yeah
To see the unification of all Africans, yeah
As it's been said already
Let it be done, yeah
We are the children of the Rastaman
We are the children of the Iyaman

So, Africa unite
'Cause the children wanna come home, yeah
Africa unite
'Cause we're moving right out of Babylon
And we're grooving to our Father's land
How good and how pleasant it would be
Before God and man...

Unite for the benefit of your people!
Unite for it's later than you think!
Unite for the benefit of my children!...Bob Marley

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. African Proverb

African Unity Day, also known as Africa Day (formerly African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day) is the annual commemoration and celebration of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU). On May 25th 1963, leaders from 30 of then 32 independent African states signed a founding charter and the OAU was created to help bring about change, freedom and independence to many African countries. In 1991, the OAU established the African Economic Community, and in 2002 they established their successor, the African Union (AU). An expressed goal of AU is promoting Africa’s growth and economic development by championing citizen inclusion and increased cooperation and integration of African states (AU, 2022).
