The minister’s visit to Jijel is part of the commemoration of the 66th anniversary of the Battle of Sattara, a pivotal episode in the glorious Algerian Revolution. He reminded the public that Algeria regained its freedom and sovereignty through bloodshed and jihad, rooted in its authentic national principles.
The Battle of Sattara, which took place on April 26-27, 1958, occurred in the Dar El Hadatha region, Bani Sabih locality, after colonial forces received intelligence about the presence of a large number of National Liberation Army fighters. A sudden aerial and ground attack was launched against the fighters, involving hundreds of heavily armed soldiers using artillery and incendiary bombs. Despite the fierce resistance displayed by the liberation fighters, the French occupation forces had to reinforce with paratroopers from the Foreign Legion, leading to a direct confrontation lasting 33 hours.
This visit by Minister Rabieqa to Jijel also serves as a reminder of the enduring strength and resolve exhibited during the Battle of Sattara, underscoring the importance of keeping these historical narratives alive for future generations through advanced technological means.
