In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger,

Dear citizens,

At every occasion that recalls our national memory, we feel an enduring duty to honor the sacrifices of the Algerian people and pay tribute to the arduous struggles that history has inscribed on its pages. These struggles remain invaluable lessons of commitment to liberty.

The 64th anniversary of the December 11, 1960, demonstrations illuminates the profound essence of loyalty and devotion to the homeland. Amidst the harshest historical circumstances, these demonstrations echoed a unified cry for freedom and dignity, challenging the tyranny of colonial domination. They epitomized the unwavering solidarity of the Algerian people, fused with the glorious Liberation Revolution and its immortal November 1 Proclamation.

The Algerian people, proud heirs of a sacred legacy of unity and defense of national sovereignty, remain steadfast in their loyalty across generations. Rooted in a deep sense of patriotism, they continue to carry the torch of a nation built on the sacrifices of its martyrs. With this undying spirit, they are constructing the foundations of a robust state fortified by its institutions, economic might, and a vigilant army—our impenetrable shield in the face of contemporary challenges in an increasingly tense world.

Dear citizens,

The Almighty Allah has blessed Algeria with abundant gifts, foremost among them a noble and resilient people whose national consciousness acts as a bulwark against the conspiracies of the malevolent. This collective awareness extinguishes any attempt to undermine the determination of Algerian patriots who steadfastly protect the nation’s stability and cohesion.

At this critical juncture, the Algerian people are focused on achieving grand aspirations and pressing priorities, advancing a comprehensive and sustainable national development project. This ambitious endeavor, launched within the framework of the “new Algeria,” continues to materialize through the ingenuity and dedication of its people, who are resolute in ensuring Algeria’s triumph.

We take immense pride in this great nation, whose people embody noble values and whose patriotic flame will never be extinguished. They bear the sacred legacy of this homeland, entrusted to them by its valiant martyrs, to whom we extend our deepest respect on this solemn occasion.

I seize this opportunity to convey my heartfelt salutations and gratitude to the moudjahidate and moudjahidine, praying for their health and long lives.

Long live Algeria,
Glory and eternity to our valiant martyrs.
