National Migration Day Highlights Colonial History
Today, Algeria commemorates the 65th anniversary of the October 17, 1961 protests in Paris, which brought together thousands of peaceful Algerian demonstrators protesting the ban on Muslim Algerians’ movement. It also recalls the brutal massacres carried out by French police forces against the protesters, including the killing of hundreds, as well as bombing them or throwing them into the Seine River—events that represent some of the most heinous war crimes against humanity that do not expire with time. This anniversary underscores the Algerian community’s connection to fear, resilience, and the fight for independence. It highlights the importance of supporting the revolution through backing the community during the struggle and liberation phases.
