So We Do Not Forget: Algeria’s Glories and Its Global Role

When we write “So We Do Not Forget,” we are not just recording history – we are narrating the epic of a great people. Algeria, the land of a million and a half martyrs, taught the world that freedom is not given but earned through sacrifice.

Glories of the Revolution

From the Aurès mountains to the streets of Algiers, the Algerian revolution (1954-1962) became the most iconic anti-colonial struggle of the 20th century. Out of the ashes of colonialism, Algerians built a proud, modern nation.

Algeria’s Role in the World

Algeria did not stop at its own liberation. It became a beacon for oppressed peoples worldwide:

· Peace diplomacy: Algeria has consistently mediated international conflicts, from the American hostage crisis in Iran to numerous African disputes, always advocating for peaceful solutions.

· Support for liberation movements: Algeria opened its arms and resources to freedom fighters across the globe – from South Africa and Palestine to Vietnam and Latin America. It was a sanctuary for revolutionaries.

· Champion of just causes: Never hesitating to defend the right to self-determination, Algeria often stood against international pressure, striving for a fair and balanced world order.

The Return of Algeria

Today, Algeria is reclaiming its natural leadership role. With a renewed vision, it is actively contributing to regional security and stability in the Mediterranean and Africa, reviving its honorable diplomatic legacy.
