ALGIERS- On the eve of Student Day, celebrated on May 19th each year, the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, sent a message to all students. In his message, he congratulated them on this historical day, which commemorates the momentum of students who were determined to adhere to the armed struggle. This was on May 19th, 1956, when the glorious war of national liberation was in full swing, having started on November 1st, 1954.
The President acknowledged the pride that students feel in celebrating this 67th anniversary, sharing with all young Algerians outside the universities a high level of awareness of the requirements of the situation prevailing inside the country. He also recognized the challenges of the international context and the efforts made to strengthen the rule of law and consolidate the foundations of governance and transparency at different levels of decision-making. Furthermore, he emphasized the mobilization of energies in favor of the achievement of the expected objectives in terms of sustainable development.
The President highlighted the importance of Algeria’s pivotal role in the geopolitical balances at the regional and international levels. He acknowledged the great strides that Algeria has made to regain its luster on the international scene and emphasized the need to preserve its deserved position.
The president recognized the students’ role in shaping Algeria today. He acknowledged that students, alongside young Algerians engaged in voluntary and associative activities, and those activating under the banner of national constitutional institutions, such as the Higher Council for Youth and National Observatory of Civil Society, are the living source of today’s Algeria. He praised their awareness, national commitment, creative and innovative capacities, and successes in acquiring scientific knowledge and mastering modern technology.
“Together, we aim to build a new Algeria that cannot be hindered by the voices of hostile parties seeking to undermine our country’ stability, cohesion, and unity. Our goal is to move forward on the path of achieving the strategic objectives of our nation while preserving its supreme interests. We will do so with the help of our valiant, proud, and dignified Algerian people, who will serve as our ramparts. Our fiery young people, imbued with nationalism, are the avant-garde within university establishments, artisans of the present, and builders of the future,” said the President.
“On this Day of the Student, I extend my warmest wishes to you. May Allah guide your steps on the path of success and excellence. Let us honor our martyrs and celebrate a free, sovereign, and dignified Algeria,” concluded the President.
