Martyr's Day - Libya commemorates Omar Al-Mukhtar.

Pulbished on:

Tripoli, September 16, 2024 (LANA) - Libya commemorates today, Monday, Martyr's Day on the ninety-third anniversary of the martyrdom of the Sheikh of Martyrs, Omar Al-Mukhtar, which falls on the sixteenth of September of each year, and according to Law No. (5) issued by the former National Transitional Council on January 8, 2012, regarding national and religious holidays, Martyr's Day is an official holiday.

Commemorating Martyr's Day on the sixteenth of September of each year carries many meanings and lessons, as the resistant lion of the desert who fought and confronted tyrants without compromise for more than twenty years, during which he and his fellow Mujahideen fought battles of honor in which the blood of all Libyans was mixed in sacrifice for the homeland.

Libyans, as they commemorate this anniversary, "Martyr's Day", and link it to the martyrdom of their Sheikh Omar Al-Mukhtar, the pious Sheikh who, as soon as he heard of the Italian invasion, returned to the Jabal al-Akhdar -Green Mountain- region and began to gather his companions to defend the dignity of the homeland and to fight a war that shook the earth under the feet of the invaders, and did not let them feel safe for a single moment on the pure Libyan land. History records that the colonists, after the desperate defense shown by the Mujahideen in defending their land and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy despite the difference in equipment and supplies, arrested the Sheikh of the Mujahideen, standing tall and with his head held high. After a court was formed in haste to get rid of the lion Sheikh, the fascists carried out their heinous crime, and the name and history of the martyred Sheikh remained a symbol in the history of humanity, and the curse continued to haunt the colonizer and will continue to haunt them forever.
