📰 *Africa Day 2025: Justice, Unity, and the Path to Economic Sovereignty* Today, Africa commemorates Africa Day, marking the historic founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963, a defining moment in the continent’s fight against colonial rule. Established to promote African unity and cooperation, the OAU laid the foundation for the African Union (AU), which continues to advocate for Africa’s development and global positioning. As nations celebrate, this year’s theme—”Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations”—pushes forward critical discussions on historical injustices, economic independence and Africa’s evolving role on the global stage. Reparations go beyond addressing past wrongs—they seek to repair the ongoing legacies of underdevelopment, marginalization and economic exclusion. Advocates emphasize that reparative justice must take a twofold approach: pushing for international redress while fostering homegrown economic revival.
