AFRICAN LIBERATION DAY
Happy African Liberation Day! It’s an annual call to action, a time to renew our commitments to the struggle for liberation and unity. Some people wrongly think it celebrates the founding of the African Union. It was actually started in support of African national liberation struggles against settler or Portuguese colonialism in the 1960s and 1970s. And it still has huge relevance today. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have formed the Alliance of Sahel States to push back against French neocolonialism. Resource-rich DRC, Sudan and the diaspora in Haiti are other examples where Africans continue to be oppressed.
While some refer to it as ‘Africa Day’, we’ll refer to the full title until the continent has freed itself from imperialism. To learn more about African Liberation Day or to see if there is an event near you, check out africanliberationday.net.
