History of Unity Day in Zimbabwe
Unity Day is a public holiday in Zimbabwe that is celebrated on December 22nd every year. The holiday was established to commemorate the signing of the Unity Accord in 1987, which brought an end to the civil war between the ruling party, ZANU-PF, and the opposition party, PF-ZAPU.
The civil war, which lasted for over a decade, was characterized by political violence, ethnic tensions, and human rights abuses. The Unity Accord was signed by the leaders of the two parties, Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo, and it paved the way for the integration of the two parties and the establishment of a new government.
The holiday is celebrated with various events and activities, including speeches, parades, and cultural performances. It is a time for Zimbabweans to come together and celebrate their unity and diversity as a nation.
