May 8th 1945

In France, may 8th 1945 was a day of celebration; finally France and Europe are free from the NAZI Germany, on the other side of the Mediterranean in Algeria (occupied by France), the beginning of this day was a celebration for the Algerians too, because they participated in the liberation of the world and especially France, and believed that the sacrifice was for “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” as the French leaders told them. With this spirit Algerians asserted their will of independence, but France denied their promises and the celebration day turns to the massacre day, the repression led by the French Army takes a higher level against the Algerian population.
It is a paradoxical celebration; an affirmation of the political lies.
