Commemorating the National Day of Memory (May 8, 1945-2026) and honoring the victims of the May 8 massacres under the slogan "A People that Sacrificed... and Triumphed," the Embassy of Algeria in Windhoek held a ceremony featuring the raising of the national flag and the inauguration of a photo exhibition documenting the brutality of colonial repression.

​His Excellency Ambassador Abdelkrim Diaf delivered an address, emphasizing that the massacres of Sétif, Guelma, and Kherrata are documented crimes of genocide that do not expire with time, stressing that preserving memory is a national duty.

​In other context, H.E Ambassador urged The national community in Namibia to participate strongly in the July 2, 2026, legislative elections, noting the President's, Mr Abdelmadjid Tebboune, decision to increase their representation to 12 seats, consolidating their role in building the New Algeria.

​Glory and Eternity to our Valiant Martyrs.
