Every 25 May, Ghana, along with many African Union(AU) member states, celebrates what has now come to be known as Africa Liberation Day(ALD). It is erroneously celebrated as African Union day, which is actually celebrated on 9 September, when the Sirte Declaration was conceived to transform the-then Organisation of African Unity into the African Union.
In Ghana, Chelsea's Michael Essien (a Ghanaian) in his capacity as AU Peace Ambassador will lead a team of other international Chelsea superstars to play in a "Peace for Africa" match. This poster is merely to reflect this reality.
Wherever you may be on 25 May, have a fabulous Happy Africa Liberation Day!

I can't be excited about this year's Africa Liberation day because of AU's non-action on NATO's airstrikes in Libya.
It shouldn't even be about taking sides. Just get them to end the fireworks. Innocent people are dying!
Enjoy the soccer match.
