Djibouti Independence Day 2021

Google Dooles 05.07.2021 05:45  Date: June 27, 2021 Today’s Doodle celebrates Djibouti’s Independence Day, an annual holiday that commemorates 44 years of freedom. On this day in 1977, the country in the Horn of Africa became a sovereign state and was officially renamed to its present title: the Republic of Djibouti. Depicted in today’s artwork, the flag of Djibouti was adopted the same day independence was declared. Its colors represent Djibouti’s natural landscapes, its multicultural populace, and the enduring ideals of its national motto: Unité, Égalité, Paix . To celebrate this momentous day, Djiboutians prepare traditional meals such as Djibouti Fah-fah , a hearty stew prepared with meat and vegetables and served with a side of Canjeero, a crepe-like fermented flatbread. Official Independence Day ceremonies typically include parades led by marching bands—brightly-colored displays of pride that are livened by celebratory song and dance. The annual festivities are accompanied by speeches from national leaders commemorating the nation’s efforts to unify and achieve independence. Happy Independence Day! Location: Tags: , , , ,
