AFRICAN LIBERATION DAY
Ises I
It is good to spare a moment to read the Utterances Qidamawi Haile Selassie on African Liberation Day. No more time for foot dragging or petty arguments, that set one against the other. Seen Fiya Ingel?!
Haile Selassie I on African Liberation Day:
“The first conference of the independent African states was held in Ac- cra, Ghana, on April 15, 1958. It was decided then to celebrate this his- toric day as African Freedom Day. Until recently, April 15 was cele- brated throughout our continent as African Freedom Day. However, two years ago today in May the Summit Conference of the Independent African States, which was convened in Our Capital City of Addis Ababa, decreed that May 25, the day on which the historic Charter of the Or- ganization of African Unity was signed, be celebrated every year as Af- rican Liberation Day.
Accordingly today is celebrated as African Libera- tion Day.
The African Unity Charter was signed two years ago today. Within this brief period much has been accomplished that augurs well for African Unity. In accordance with the resolution of the first Assembly of African Heads of State and Government held in Cairo last year, the headquar- ters of the Organization of African Unity has been established here in Addis Ababa. Under its Secretary-General, His Excellency Mr. Diallo Telli, of Guinea, the Organization is successfully discharging its respon- sibilities and commitments.
