30th anniversary of the Revolution 1954-1984
November 1, 1984 has a double historical significance: that of the 30th anniversary of the outbreak of the Revolution and that of the birth of the National Liberation Front Party.
Under the leadership of the National Liberation Front Party, supreme guide of a Revolution by the people and for the people, a multitude of trials, sacrifices, struggles and successes have marked the history of Algeria over the last thirty years.
The commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of these two historic events draws its significance from the dimension of the innumerable achievements, each as considerable as the other accomplished by the restored Algerian State in favor of a people emerging from more than a century of deprivation and exploitation.
These achievements confirm, if necessary, the eminently progressive vocation of the Algerian Revolution.
In its proclamation of November 1, 1954, the National Liberation Front Party outlined the broad outlines of its program centered on national independence and the restoration of the Algerian state.
After Abdelkader, El Mokrani and the 45,000 martyrs of May 8, 1945, the Algerian people took up arms again under the leadership of the FLN and its spearhead, the glorious National Liberation Army.
The Algerian people sacrificed a million and a half of their sons so that independence, demanded from the first day of the struggle, was proclaimed on July 5, 1962.
Today, thirty years later, and tomorrow more than ever, there remain dates in contemporary history, that of November 1, 1954 more than any other, which cannot be commemorated without the freedom and dignity rediscovered instilling in each Algerian a feeling of gratitude towards this generation which, with limitless devotion to the chained homeland, sacrificed its life and its youth for the resurrection of its State and the dignity of its people.
