Distinguished guests, including Minister of Mujahideen Mr. Laïd Rebiga, members of the Government, national figures, mujahideen, leaders of revolutionary organizations, national institutions, and representatives from the associative movement, were in attendance.

In his address, the minister expressed his gratitude for the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, for his unwavering commitment to honoring the memory of the brave chouhada. The minister acknowledged the stability, serenity, and the factors of development and prosperity that our country is currently experiencing under President Tebboune’s leadership.

Demonstrating Solidarity with the Palestinian People

Furthermore, the minister reaffirmed the Algerian people’s unwavering solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine, who are enduring the brutal bombings in the Gaza Strip, perpetrated by an enemy that has disregarded all human values. He emphasized that Algeria’s stance on the Palestinian cause, as repeatedly expressed by the President of the Republic, is a testament to our unwavering loyalty to our national history and the values enshrined in the Declaration of November 1, 1954.

Honoring the Mujahideen
