Celebrating National Day of Memory 8 May 2025

Hello to you...

#NationalRemembranceDay

Welcome #Algeria, tomorrow Thursday, #NationalRemembranceDay commemorates the 80th anniversary of the massacres of May 8, 1945, a turning point in the history of #Algeria. On that day, Algerians peacefully gathered in demonstrations in #Sétif, #Guelma, and #Map demanding independence. However, French authorities responded with brutal repression, resulting in massacres and mass killings that claimed the lives of thousands of Algerians.

We stand in a posture of reverence and respect for the souls of #OurHeroes the pious who sacrificed their lives, those tragic events that revealed the brutality of colonialism, and ignited in the hearts of Algerians the fire of revolution for freedom and independence.

We will not forget... and we will not let go of the memory of a people who stood firm and revealed itself to be free and noble.

Long live Algeria

Honor and immortality for our noble martyrs
