Secretary Chaib Affirms Diaspora's Role in Revolution Memory

Secretary of State for the National Community Abroad, Sofiane Chaib, recently participated remotely in ceremonies commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the Glorious Liberation Revolution. During these events, organized by Algerian diplomatic and consular centers abroad, Mr. Chaib underscored the significant sacrifices made by martyrs and mujahideen. He specifically lauded the historical contribution of the Algerian diaspora in supporting the Liberation Revolution and advocating for the national cause.

Mr. Chaib affirmed that preserving national memory and transmitting it to succeeding generations remains a constant priority for the Algerian state. He highlighted the special attention given by the country's high authorities to safeguarding and valuing this historical legacy. This year's commemorations notably featured an initiative from the Ministry of Mujahideen and Rights Holders, aimed at honoring mujahideen residing abroad.

The implementation of this initiative began with the awarding of commemorative certificates, signed by the Minister of Mujahideen and Rights Holders, to select individuals within the consular districts of Strasbourg, Metz, and Besançon. Mr. Chaib confirmed plans to continue this initiative periodically and expand its scope to include mujahideen in various other diplomatic and consular districts globally. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining and reinforcing the strong bonds between members of the national community abroad and their homeland, particularly for younger generations.

Praising the commitment of Algerians living abroad, Mr. Chaib acknowledged their strong attachment to their homeland, their loyalty to its glorious history, and their dedication to contributing to national service from their respective positions. This continuous engagement helps ensure the enduring legacy of the revolution and reinforces national identity across generations.
