Eid al-Adha: President Tebboune extends wishes to Algerian people

The president of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, on Thursday evening extended wishes to the Algerian people on Eid al-Adha, wishing all Algerians, in Algeria and abroad, including the pilgrims, a happy festival full of solidarity, forgiveness and tolerance.

"In the name Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful,

Prayer and peace on our prophet and guide Mohammad (PBUH)

Dear fellow citizens,

We are celebrating tomorrow, God willing, the Eid al-Adha, an opportunity of solidarity, forgiveness and tolerance, perpetuating the tradition of our prophet Ibrahim El-Khalil.

On this occasion, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all the Algerians at home, to our community abroad, to our pilgrims in the Holy Places of Islam, wishing they perform Hajj in the best conditions.

I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my best wishes to the Arab and Islamic nation, especially our brothers in the occupied and battered Palestine, praying that Almighty God will lift the injustice they are subjected to and grant them a speedy recovery.

I also pray that Almighty God will preserve the security and tranquillity He has blessed us with and to surround our valiant martyrs with His holy mercy.

Blessed Eid al-Adha

Long live Algeria, proud and sovereign,

Glory and eternity to our valiant martyrs," the president of the Republic said in a message to the Algerian people.
