The event, attended by numerous Afabet residents, featured student and military parades, along with cultural and artistic performances by the \u2018Algen\u2019 cultural troupe of the 31st Division of the Armed Forces, adding solemnity and festivity to the occasion.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ahmed Mohammed-Nur Rejib, administrator of the sub-zone, highlighted the historical impact of the fall of Nadew Iz 37 years ago, which signaled the imminent independence of the country.<\/p>\n

Mr. Rejib further noted that this year\u2019s anniversary is being observed during a uniquely significant historical period and called on all nationals to remain vigilant and responsive to the ongoing nation building process.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mahmud Sheikh Hamid, administrator of Afabet town, emphasized that beyond celebration, the commemoration carries deep historical meaning for the Eritrean people and urged the younger generation to carry forward this vibrant legacy.<\/p>\n
