How did the Organization of African Unity (OAU) reflect the philosophy of Pan-Africanism?
icang [17]

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

The Organization of African Unity (OAU) was postcolonial Africa’s first continent-wide association of independent states. Founded by thirty-two countries on May 25, 1963, and based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it became operational on September 13, 1963, when the OAU Charter, its basic constitutional document, entered into force. The OAU’s membership eventually encompassed all of Africa’s fifty-three states, with the exception of Morocco, which withdrew in 1984 to protest the admission of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic, or Western Sahara. The OAU was dissolved in 2002, when it was replaced by the African Union.

The process of decolonization in Africa that commenced in the 1950s witnessed the birth of many new states. Inspired in part by the philosophy of Pan-Africanism, the states of Africa sought through a political collective a means of preserving and consolidating their independence and pursuing the ideals of African unity. However, two rival camps emerged with opposing views about how these goals could best be achieved. The Casablanca Group, led by President Kwame Nkrumah (1909–1972) of Ghana, backed radical calls for political integration and the creation of a supranational body. The moderate Monrovia Group, led by Emperor Haile Selassie (1892–1975) of Ethiopia, advocated a loose association of sovereign states that allowed for political cooperation at the intergovernmental level. The latter view prevailed. The OAU was therefore based on the “sovereign equality of all Member States,” as stated in its charter.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Option B, It is the oldest known set of laws, is false.

Explanation:

The oldest written law code was the Ur-Nammu law code. This law code was written around 300 years before the law code of Hammurabi. The Ur-Nammu law is the law of the Eshunna town, of king Lipit-Ishtar of Isin.

On the other hand, the Hammurabi code is a collection of 282 regulations, established by Hammurabi, the king of Babylon in 1750 BC. He was the one who wanted his people to know about his rules and laws thus he ordered his officers to display his laws publicly.
