Celebrating National Day of Memory
Memorial of the 8 May 1945 massacres… Memory refuses to be forgotten.
Under the slogan:
A people who suffered have triumphed
The Algerian people commemorate the May 8, 1945 massacres, those horrific crimes committed by the French colonists in Sétif, Guelma, and Khraoua, following which Algerians peacefully protested, demanding their rights to freedom and dignity.
Yet these demands were met with repression and punishment, turning cities and villages into bloody scenes, where more than 45,000 martyrs lost their lives, in one of the most horrific massacres in human history.
This painful memory stands as a testament to the sacrifices of the Algerian people and their resilience in pursuit of a free and independent homeland, and national memory remains a promise that does not fade with time.
Honor and immortality for our noble martyrs
May God have mercy on their pure souls and protect Algeria free and noble.
