Algiers, Algeria | October 31st, 2024 — Algiers is set to host an unprecedented military parade along the iconic Mohammedia waterfront, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Revolution of November 1st, 1954. This grand display, involving the People’s National Army—worthy heir of the National Liberation Army—will unite various military formations in a striking tribute to Algeria’s enduring legacy and unyielding defense capabilities. With rigorous planning and unmatched coordination among the Army’s air, land, and sea forces, the event represents a powerful statement of Algeria’s security, unity, and regional strength.

The parade not only reflects the government’s commitment to security and cohesion but also carries a strategic message beyond Algeria’s borders. As the nation celebrates the revolution that secured its independence from colonial rule, it simultaneously signals a steadfast readiness to counter any threats to its sovereignty. It serves as a reminder to adversaries that Algeria—the land of a million and a half martyrs—remains resolute and fully prepared to protect its citizens and defend its borders against any potential provocations.

In anticipation of the November 1 event, authorities across Algeria have enacted comprehensive security and logistical preparations. For more than ten days, the capital has been on high alert, mobilizing all resources to ensure the success of this momentous occasion. A meticulous security plan is in place, securing every access point to Algiers, along with all major and secondary routes leading from Dar El Beida to Algiers downtown. A grand march down the boulevard facing the Great Mosque of Algiers will feature a dazzling array of military vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and aircraft from various regions, with units representing the Army’s diverse corps, including special forces, airborne units, and the Republican Guard. In recent days, helicopters from the Army and National Gendarmerie have conducted low-altitude training flights, giving Algerians a thrilling preview of the spectacular display to come, while National Police helicopters continue to patrol the skies for security.

The parade will also include a significant presence of civilian formations marching alongside military units, representing the Air, Naval, and Land Forces, the Republican Guard, the National Gendarmerie, and various bands. Civilian contingents will pay tribute to veterans and the heroes of the National Revolution, symbolizing the unity of the Algerian people and their ongoing reverence for the martyrs of the liberation struggle. Alongside units from the General Directorate of National Security, Customs, and Civil Protection, the combined procession will stretch the length of the boulevard, moving past the Great Mosque of Algiers with synchronized maneuvers from military helicopters, national gendarmerie, and police.

This year’s grand parade, a successor to the exemplary 2022 Independence Day celebrations, will highlight the People’s National Army’s ongoing commitment to national defense, underscoring its extensive training and the unparalleled professionalism of Algeria’s forces. The display will showcase military assets and combat formations that have been enhanced through strategic investments by the High Command, demonstrating Algeria’s readiness to confront any threat with an ironclad resolve.

On November 1, the People’s National Army will stand proudly before the nation, reaffirming its sacred duty to defend the homeland and its citizens with unwavering dedication. This readiness has been cultivated under the vigilant leadership of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and Chief of Staff General Saïd Chengriha, as well as through sustained advancements in military capabilities across all branches of the armed forces. Algeria’s military proficiency is a testament to the leadership’s commitment to modernizing and fortifying the country’s defenses.

This historic commemoration will be attended by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Chief of Staff General Saïd Chengriha, government leaders, and distinguished guests, including heads of state and government from allied and friendly nations. As Algeria celebrates its 70th anniversary of revolution and liberation, this parade not only honors the heroes who fought for independence but also reinforces the Army’s enduring legacy of resilience and strength, inspiring a new generation to uphold the principles of sovereignty and freedom. In a region fraught with challenges, Algeria’s military display sends a clear message: the spirit of November 1 lives on, steadfast and vigilant in the face of any challenge to its sovereignty or security.
