Algeria marks Victory Day on March 19, a historic occasion that symbolizes the culmination of decades of struggle under the National Movement and the armed resistance waged by the Algerian people for over seven years. The unwavering belief in the necessity of armed struggle led to the launch of the Liberation Revolution on November 1, 1954, a turning point that shook the colonial aggressors and set the stage for Algeria’s fight for independence.
This Revolution remains one of the most significant anti-colonial movements of the modern era, embodying the Algerian people’s determination for freedom and dignity. Victory Day stands as a tribute to the sacrifices of countless martyrs who laid down their lives so that future generations could live in an independent and sovereign Algeria. Today, Algerians honor their legacy by building a modern state, driven by investment, development, and national unity, while staying true to the values of their forebears.
As Algeria continues on its path of progress, it remains vigilant to regional and international challenges, upholding the principles of the Liberation Revolution. On this occasion, tribute is paid to the nation’s martyrs, as well as to the mujahideen and mujahidate, whose sacrifices will never be forgotten. Long live Algeria—glory and eternity to its valiant martyrs.
