More about the book

The formation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in May 1963 marked a pivotal moment in African history, embodying the pan-African vision for unity and self-determination. The OAU Charter emphasized essential values such as freedom, equality, justice, and dignity, aiming to fulfill the aspirations of African peoples. It fostered cooperation and understanding among diverse nations, promoting African socialism and cultural heritage while transcending ethnic and national divides. The OAU emerged as a beacon for brotherhood and solidarity across the continent.
