The 81st anniversary of the May 8, 1945 Massacres

The Embassy of Algeria in Gaborone commemorated today the National Day of Memory marking the 81st anniversary of the May 8, 1945 Massacres, under the slogan: “A People Who Sacrificed and Triumphed.”

The ceremony featured the raising of the national flag to the sound of the national anthem, the observance of a minute of silence, and the recitation of Al-Fatiha in tribute to the souls of our righteous martyrs.

On this occasion, the Chargé d’Affaires a.i. delivered a speech highlighting the significance of this great commemoration, which embodies the spirit of resilience and determination of the Algerian people throughout the different stages of their history, as they stood against colonialism so that future generations could enjoy freedom and sovereignty.

Glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs. Long live Algeria.
