Tunisia National Day 2024

Google Dooles 20.03.2024 00:16  Date: March 20, 2024 Put on your red and white! Today’s Doodle celebrates Tunisia’s National Day. On this day in 1956, Africa’s northernmost country officially gained its freedom, ending nearly a century of French colonial protectorate. The capital city of Tunis hosts parades to honor the historic day. Government officials and citizens also attend wreath-laying ceremonies to commemorate those who fought for their freedom. Throughout the country, Tunisians decorate homes and buildings with their national flag — just like the one in today’s Doodle. It features a crescent moon and star atop a white and red background. Families spend the festive day with loved ones and might prepare dishes like couscous. Often served with meat stew on top, the fluffy semolina granules are a favorite across Tunisia. At night, many people gather to watch fireworks light up the sky. The holiday serves as a reminder to Tunisians to continue the fight for freedom and democracy. Happy National Day, Tunisia!
