The independent African countries that signed the OAU Charter on May 25th 1963 were?

A. Togo and Sierra Leone
B. Morocco and Angola
C. Togo and Morocco
D. Chad and the Gambia
E. none of the above

Correct Answer:

Option E – none of the above

Explanation

The independent African countries that signed the OAU Charter on May 25th 1963 in this context were as follows:

Automatically, Angola and Gambia are ruled out in the context as they obtained independence after the charter had been signed.

Then ”A”-Togo and Sierra Leone and B-Togo and Morocco should have been considered as the correct answer on each case but that could not come true as the government of Togo was overthrown by the military in January 1, 1963. Before signing the charter on May 25th, 1963, no African country had thought of recognizing the military government. So it was not likely that the former head of state should be present at the meeting to sign the charter. For this reason, none of the options should be considered as the correct answer.
