Marking the 65th anniversary of the October 17, 1961, protests, the Mouvement dynamique des Algériens de France (MOUDAF) has called for the full recognition of the state-sponsored repression against Algerian demonstrators in Paris. The organization maintains that this historical truth requires a formal acknowledgement and a commitment to reparation, viewing it as a matter of human dignity rather than vengeance. The MOUDAF emphasizes that commemorating this date is crucial for passing down the legacy of freedom and courage to younger generations. By honoring the victims, the movement aims to foster a collective identity based on justice and solidarity, ensuring that youth remain proud of their history while advocating for peace.
