President Sirleaf Describes as “Explicit Affirmation of Africa’s Rejection of Colonial, Imperialistic Domination” 

Monrovia, Liberia: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has described Africa Day an explicit affirmation of Africa’s rejection of colonial and imperialistic domination of the Continent. She said exactly 54 years ago, 32 African nations converged in Ethiopia to establish the OAU, now the AU.

According to an Executive mansion release, President Sirleaf was speaking yesterday during the 54th Anniversary of Africa Day in the C. Cecil Dennis, Jr. Auditorium at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Monrovia.

She said the historic day finds its root in the Africa Freedom Day previously celebrated on April 15. The Liberian leader recalled that following Ghana’s independence, Kwame Nkrumah convened the first Conference of Independent African States on April 15, 1958, of which Liberia was a part.  The April 15 conference she said was also considered the first Pan-African Conference, which brought together various African countries and served as a platform on which African countries mobilized in the struggle against colonialism.

These notices urged individuals who did not have another immigration status to use the time before the terminations became effective in May to prepare for and arrange their departure from the United States or to apply for other immigration benefits for which they may be eligible.

The combined wealth of Nigeria’s five richest men - $29.9 billion - could end extreme poverty in that country according to a new report published by Oxfam today.
