 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

ALGERIA COMMEMORATES INDEPENDENCE MASSACRE BY FRENCH POLICE. (PHOTO).


 Algeria commemorates independence massacre by French police


Algeria is marking the 63rd anniversary of a deadly crackdown by French police on Algerians holding rallies in Paris to demand their country's independence from France.


Dozens of peaceful demonstrators were killed in the massacre whose scale was covered up for decades by French authorities.


In 2021, President Emmanuel Macron condemned it as "inexcusable", but failed to offer an apology or reparation.


In a message on Wednesday ahead of the 63rd anniversary, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said the day "remains deeply engraved in our minds".


He described the killings as "moments of madness devoid of all civility and humanity".


"On this occasion, I bow with piety and deference to the memory of the victims of that sinister day," he said.


Death toll unclear


On the night of October 17, 1961, and over the next few days, Algerian demonstrators were beaten, killed or thrown into the River Seine, where they drowned.


The precise number of victims has never been made clear. In 1998, the French government said 40 people were killed.


However, historians and activists believe hundreds of Algerians were killed in the brutal police crackdown.


The protests were called in the final year of France's violent attempt to retain Algeria as a North African colony.


In March 2024, the French parliament's lower house approved a resolution condemning the killings as "bloody and murderous repression".


Campaigners continue to condemn France for refusing to ''apologise or repent'' for the massacre and its 132-year brutal colonial rule in Algeria, which ended in 1962.
