President Abdelmadjid Tebboune emphasized that Algeria faces the challenges of building economic immunity and strengthening its sovereignty in the midst of turbulent regional and international conditions. He noted that the country has defined its path and prioritized strengthening national economic capabilities through major, integrated structural achievements within a multi-front strategic development project.
In a message marking the 64th anniversary of Victory Day, President Tebboune stated that this vision is being realized on the ground through sincere national efforts dedicated to protecting the state’s interests and serving the people. He expressed belief in a victorious Algeria achieved through collective participation, fulfilling the hopes of all Algerians. He also paid tribute to the souls of the martyrs on this occasion, renewing the pledge of loyalty to their legacy.
The President added that March 19th celebrates Victory Day, the day that marked the end of colonial hegemony lasting more than 130 years. He described the era as one of unjust settler colonialism, devoid of human values and characterized by killing, destruction, and looting. However, he noted that this system faltered before the power of truth and the universal principles of freedom.
He continued by stating that the Algerian people were granted victory through a glorious revolution led by heroes who chose either a life of dignity or martyrdom so that Algeria might live. He highlighted that the revolution, embraced by the people since November 1, 1954, reached its conclusion at a moment when modern history witnessed a victory achieved through sacrifices, despite widespread destruction and systematic looting. He concluded that a people who endured such hardships carry a sacred trust and continue their journey guided by the message of the martyrs.
