Algiers, Algeria | October 31st, 2024 — In a solemn display of patriotism and deep reverence, Rachid Hachichi, CEO of Sonatrach, presided over a national flag-raising ceremony at the company’s headquarters, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Algeria’s Liberation Revolution. The gathering united Sonatrach’s employees in a powerful moment of respect and reflection, paying tribute to those who, on November 1, 1954, courageously took a stand for their homeland, driven by an unyielding commitment to restore Algeria’s dignity and independence.

The ceremony was marked by a sense of profound respect as employees stood shoulder-to-shoulder, many visibly moved, honoring the legacy of Algeria’s freedom fighters who led the nation’s fight against colonial oppression. For Hachichi and the assembled workers, this occasion represented far more than a historical remembrance. It was an opportunity to draw strength and inspiration from the enduring resilience of Algeria’s forebears—men and women who embodied an indomitable will and sacrificed everything to secure Algeria’s freedom.

Across Sonatrach’s extensive network, from headquarters to regional directorates, units, and operational sites, similar ceremonies were held, each imbued with a collective spirit of remembrance. Employees took part in reflective gatherings that honored Algeria’s heritage of struggle, courage, and sacrifice, fostering a sense of shared pride and responsibility for carrying forward the aspirations of a free and prosperous Algeria. Hachichi highlighted the importance of commemorating these pivotal moments in Algerian history, underscoring that the bravery of the freedom fighters serves as a foundational compass for all Algerians, especially as the country strides toward growth and modernization.

“These ceremonies are more than a mark of respect,” Hachichi remarked. “They remind us of the solemn duty we have as Algerians to uphold the legacy of those who gave their lives so that our nation could soar. It is our responsibility to honor their memory through commitment, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to the advancement of Algeria.”

The homage at Sonatrach resonated deeply, especially as the oil and gas giant plays a pivotal role in the country’s economic landscape, embodying the spirit of progress envisioned by Algeria’s revolutionary heroes. Employees expressed pride in contributing to the nation’s advancement, reaffirming their commitment to a legacy forged in sacrifice and tenacity. Sonatrach workers stood united in their resolve to build upon the foundations laid by the martyrs of the Liberation Revolution, with a shared vision of taking Algeria forward with resilience, integrity, and respect for its proud history.

In closing, Sonatrach extended its salute to the martyrs and veterans who sacrificed all for Algeria’s independence, pledging to uphold their legacy with enduring pride and ambition. This solemn tribute underscores Sonatrach’s commitment to both remembering Algeria’s storied past and forging a future of progress and prosperity for generations to come.
