Tunisia gained Independence from France on the 20th of March in
1956, after a result of a long struggle and the efforts of many Tunisian
nationalists, including Habib Bourguiba, who later became the first President
of Tunisia.
The struggle for independence included peaceful protests, strikes, and political organizing. On March 20th, 1956, the French government agreed to Tunisia’s demands for independence after negotiations with Bourguiba.
The Tunisian flag was raised for the first time, and Bourguiba
gave a speech announcing the country’s independence.
On this occasion, Tunisia celebrates the day with national
parades and fireworks. It is a day for Tunisians to reflect on their country’s
history, celebrate their independence, and renew their commitment to building a
strong and prosperous nation.
