Following that event is Africa Day, which corresponds to the creation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, ancestor of the African Union (AU). This day is an opportunity for each country on the continent to organize events aimed at promoting solidarity and collaboration between African people. A deeply rooted tradition that highlights the struggle of the entire African continent for liberation, development and economic progress.

 Africa is rightly considered the cradle of humanity. The continent is the origin of a large number of human groups, languages, religions and traditions. It's also the home of some of the most extraordinary natural resources in the world.

For the occasion, the UN Secretary General delivered a message aimed at presenting African heritage as the foundation of post-Covid recovery. In his own words, "Africa's rich and diverse cultural and natural heritage is important for sustainable development, poverty reduction and the maintenance and consolidation of peace" and we couldn't agree more. Africa's heritage can serve as a solid foundation for inclusive economic progress as the continent strives to tackle the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
