Some history first!

On April 15, 1958, the Congress of Independent African States met in Ghana. The aim was to highlight African states and peoples determined to free themselves from foreign domination.

This conference decides to create an “African Freedom Day” to “mark each year the progress of the liberation movement and to symbolise the determination of the peoples of Africa to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.”

A few years later, on May 25,1963, 32 independent African states met and created the Organization of the African Union (OAU). The aim of this organisation is to encourage independent movements among one third of the African countries that are still colonised.

A charter was subsequently drafted and signed on May 26, 1963, and African Freedom Day was renamed World Africa Day.

African Domain Extensions

Why choose an African geographic domain extension?

Geographic extensions offer valuable commercial advantages. By using domain extensions specific to the territories your business operates in, you not only strengthen your local identity but also promote trade and protect your domain names.

To maximize these benefits, it’s essential to identify the countries where your business has the most significant exchanges and offer appropriate local extensions.
