63rd Anniversary of Emigration Day - October 17, 1961/2024

The Ambassador of Algeria to Bosnia and Herzegovina, H.E. Mr. Toufik MILAT, presided over a ceremony to commemorate the 63rd anniversary of Emigration Day – October 17,1961/2024 which took place at the Embassy headquarters.

The Ambassador took the floor on this occasion to recall the painful context of the events "whose 63rd anniversary we commemorate today", and to evoke "the heavy sacrifices made by Algerians of emigration to France against whom a racist decision, even unique in the annals, had been taken. The authorities of the city of Paris had indeed decided on a curfew that was imposed solely and exclusively on Algerians."  

The Ambassador added that "through these sacrifices and their dignified attitudes, Algerians in France have just recorded their commitment to the fight for the liberation of their country in which they had been involved from the outset.
