🇩🇿 October 17, 1961 — National Immigration Day
On October 17, 1961, thousands of Algerians peacefully demonstrated in Paris, France, against colonial oppression and in support of Algeria’s independence. The demonstration was met with brutal repression by French police, resulting in numerous deaths, injuries, and arrests.
This tragic event remains a painful chapter in Algeria’s history and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by Algerians living abroad in the struggle for freedom and dignity.
Today, we honor the martyrs who lost their lives, remember their courage, and pay tribute to every Algerian who sacrificed for the independence of our homeland. Their blood was not shed in vain, and their legacy will live on in the memory of future generations.
🇩🇿 Glory to our martyrs. May Algeria forever remain free, proud, and sovereign.
“A nation that remembers its martyrs will never forget the price of its freedom.”
