Events

This Tunisian stamp issued on April 15, 1961 celebrates Africa Day, an event which highlights the unity of the African continent as well as solidarity between the peoples involved in the independence movements. At a time when several African nations are gaining sovereignty, this day symbolizes the affirmation of a collective identity and the desire to build a future based on cooperation, political emancipation and overcoming colonialism. The illustration — a stylized map of Africa associated with human and animal figures — evokes the cultural richness of the continent, the depth of its traditions and the importance of human diversity in the construction of a common project. Through this broadcast, Tunisia reaffirms its belonging to the African family and its support for the Pan-African movement which is progressing throughout the continent.
