Africa Union Day

In Windhoek and today is Africa Day. Two of the colourful attendees in the parliament grounds. Today commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (now known as the African Union) on this day, 25 May, in 1963. Formally known as African freedom day and then African Liberation day, its origin lies in the collective African resistance to colonialism and economic exploitation. Of course, we were not too welcome as you might imagine.
