Description
This stamp commemorates the massacre of February 8, 1958, a turning point in the Algerian War and a symbol of Tunisian-Algerian solidarity. Yosr Ben Hloua's illustration presents the Sakiet Sidi Youssef memorial draped in an immaterial white veil, evoking the memory of the victims. A bouquet of flowers and the Tunisian flag underline national meditation.
Sakiet Sidi Youssef embodies the common sacrifice for freedom. This stamp reaffirms the unity of destiny between Tunisia and Algeria and the refusal of colonial oppression, transforming a tragedy into a pillar of Maghreb fraternity.
