The key organization in the African independence movement was the Organization of African Unity (OAU), established in 1963. It aimed to promote unity and solidarity among African states, support liberation movements, and coordinate efforts for independence from colonial rule. The OAU played a crucial role in advocating for decolonization and fostering political stability across the continent. Its legacy continues today through the African Union, which succeeded the OAU in 2001.
