The outbreak of the glorious revolution of November 1, 1954 remains etched in stone as a pivotal milestone in national history and a historic achievement whose preservation rests with current generations. This is the core message highlighted by El Djeich magazine in its latest issue, through an editorial titled November: Renewed Oath of Fidelity, Immutable Authentic Values.
Given the celebrations marking the 72nd anniversary of the Revolution’s outbreak, the publication underscores that this foundational date embodied the will of a courageous people who resolved, led by an elite of devoted sons, to shatter the chains of colonial oppression and restore sovereignty and independence at the cost of every sacrifice, El Djeich notes, before stressing that today’s generation assumes the duty of safeguarding this priceless historic legacy and working tirelessly to consolidate our country’s sovereignty.
In the same vein, El Djeich echoed remarks by President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune from his message commemorating the 72nd anniversary of the November Revolution’s launch.
Such is the destiny of Algeria, land of millions of martyrs, to stand as a bastion of authentic patriotism, strengthened by the cohesion of its people and the foundations of its institutions. On this 72nd anniversary of November 1, imbued with deep reverence for the blood of Algeria’s martyrs, we draw our resolve from their message, the head of state declared, adding that this renewed commemoration calls upon us to recognize the demands of safeguarding the nation’s supreme interests.
Furthermore, the magazine warns against attempts aimed at undermining its security, stability, and unity, as well as swaying its steadfast positions, its national trajectory, and its gains. These efforts, it explains, are no longer limited to traditional security threats. They encompass hybrid warfare, particularly disinformation, propaganda, and manipulation campaigns, alongside acts of sabotage intended to sow unrest and instill doubt regarding the major achievements accomplished by our country in recent years.
In light of geopolitical, security, economic, and social shifts, our People’s National Army, worthy heir to the National Liberation Army, continues with unwavering determination and unshakeable will to strengthen its power and deterrence capabilities to confront various threats and protect the nation’s supreme interests, the publication specified.
Whatever Algeria’s enemies, their henchmen, their zealous servants, their media mouthpieces, and saboteurs who sold their souls cheaply may attempt, they will in no way halt Algeria’s march nor sway the unbreakable loyalty of its people to the homeland—a people fully aware that today’s battle is above all a battle of awareness, the text affirms.
Along similar lines, the outlet cites the use of organized crime in various forms, especially drug trafficking, portrayed as a tool to erode society, national values, and youth, whom it describes as the lifeblood of the nation. Those parties that have relentlessly plotted against Algeria, betting on weakening the resolve of its children and dividing their ranks, have failed to achieve their vile designs and will remain powerless before a united people devoted to their homeland and its core principles, it emphasizes.
El Djeich magazine also spotlighted statements by Army General Said Chanegriha, Minister Delegate to the Minister of National Defense and Chief of Staff of the People’s National Army: Our history and national memory are neither mere tales passed down over time nor fleeting commemorative milestones. They constitute a fundamental pillar and a powerful driving force fueling our authentic approach.
Similarly, continuing the process of nation-building and development, strengthening Algeria’s standing, proud of its African identity, and upholding its commitment to just causes worldwide clearly reflect this patriotic resolve, the editorial noted, pointing out that ongoing efforts across political, economic, social, and diplomatic fronts directly contribute to building a victorious new Algeria with steady steps.
In its editorial, it pays heartfelt tribute to the architects of the Revolution, the martyrs, and the freedom fighters, saluting the sacrifices made for the country’s freedom and independence. The magazine additionally extends its greetings to all personnel of the People’s National Army, who continue carrying out their mission across the entire national territory.
