The 1950s also see significant independence movements throughout Africa. In 1951, Libya gains independence. From 1956 to 1958, Tunisia, Morocco, Ghana, Guinea, all gain independence. Of particular note is Ghana, originally called Gold Coast. The first president and prime minister is Kwame Nkrumah, and he's known as one of the founders of the Organization of African Unity. And he wanted to see a world where as these African countries became independent, they unified, seeing that Africa would have much more power as a unified entity than as a fragmented one. And so he was a major promoter of the idea of Pan-Africanism.
