National Immigration Day and Loyalty to the November Revolution
Today, Algerians commemorate the National Day of Migration, marking the events of October 17, 1961, in Paris. On that day, French occupying forces confronted peaceful demonstrations supported by the National Liberation Front, resulting in the killing of hundreds of protesters and their bodies being thrown into the Seine River, in addition to the arrest of approximately 15,000 people. This massacre is regarded as one of the bloodiest acts of repression in Western Europe, and France continues to refuse to open an independent investigation into it. Meanwhile, members of the Algerian community reaffirm their connection to the resistance and its sacrifices, while focusing on supporting national development and economic renewal.
