Eid El Jala'

Eid El Jala', also known as the "Day of Evacuation," is a significant national holiday in Tunisia celebrated annually on October 15. It commemorates the final withdrawal of French troops from the country in 1963, marking the end of French military presence and the full realization of Tunisia's independence.

On this day, Tunisians honor the sacrifices made by their ancestors and reflect on the nation's journey toward self-determination. Celebrations often include official ceremonies, parades, cultural events, and speeches by political leaders, emphasizing unity, freedom, and national pride. It is a day for Tunisians to celebrate their identity and the resilience of their nation.
