Algiers, Algeria– Sunday, July 13, 2025 | In its latest edition, El Djeich, the official publication of the Algerian Ministry of National Defence, devoted its editorial to the commemoration of a landmark event in the nation’s history — the 63rd anniversary of the recovery of national sovereignty (5 July 1962 – 5 July 2025). Entitled “Sur la voie de la fidélité”, or “On the Path of Loyalty”, the editorial is a powerful reaffirmation of the Algerian People’s National Army’s (ANP) fidelity to the ideals and sacrifices of the nation’s martyrs.

The editorial begins by recalling the deep, enduring struggle of the Algerian people throughout the 132 harrowing years of French colonial rule. It pays tribute to the countless lives and dreams that were sacrificed in the relentless pursuit of freedom, culminating in the launch of the historic November 1st Revolution in 1954. This epic uprising, carried forward with unprecedented courage and resilience, ultimately led to the downfall of colonial domination after seven and a half years of armed resistance and astute diplomatic manoeuvring.

As Algeria celebrates this historic date, the editorial urges citizens and institutions alike to renew their solemn vow of loyalty to the martyrs. “While commemorating this anniversary, which holds a sacred place in the heart of every Algerian,” it states, “it is a moment to reaffirm our commitment to defend Algeria’s supreme interests under all circumstances.” This resolute message reinforces the Army’s enduring moral and constitutional mission: to remain the steadfast guardian of the country’s sovereignty, unity, and independence.

The editorial draws a compelling parallel between the heroism of the founding generation and the steadfast determination of today’s Algerians, particularly under the stewardship of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. It highlights the transformative changes Algeria has undergone in recent years, asserting that the country is advancing through unprecedented achievements in multiple sectors. “Our nation has made successive strides on this path — that of a victorious Algeria, faithful to its principles and firmly rooted in genuine citizenship,” the editorial observes.

In a notable segment, the article underscores the ongoing efforts of the ANP, quoting General of the Army Saïd Chanegriha, Minister Delegate to the National Defence and Chief of Staff of the ANP. He reiterates that the Army will continue to march in the footsteps of the valiant ancestors, despite a regional and international environment beset by multifaceted threats and challenges. The General emphasized the vital importance of remaining “highly vigilant and cautious in order to thwart any attempt to undermine the land of the Chouhada.”

The editorial concludes with a solemn homage to the martyrs of the Revolution and an expression of gratitude toward the Moudjahidine — the living veterans of the independence war — as well as all those who are tirelessly safeguarding Algeria’s security, stability, and national sovereignty. It is not only a commemorative reflection but also a firm declaration that Algeria, anchored in its revolutionary values, will neither forget nor forsake the sacred covenant with its martyrs.
