Victory Day (Mujahideen Victory Day) – April 28

Victory Day (Mujahideen Victory Day) is a national holiday in Afghanistan that commemorates the defeat of the Soviet Union and the end of the Soviet-Afghan War. This day holds great significance for the people of Afghanistan as it symbolizes the resilience and bravery of the Mujahideen fighters who fought against the Soviet forces from 1979 to 1989. It is also a day to honor all the Afghan martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country. On this day, people across Afghanistan come together to remember their heroes and pay tribute to the brave soldiers who fought for their nation’s independence.

The Soviet-Afghan War was a decade-long conflict that left a devastating impact on Afghanistan. It began when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan on December 27, 1979, in support of the Afghan communist government. The Mujahideen fighters, also known as the Afghan resistance, fiercely opposed the Soviet invasion and were successful in pushing back the Soviet forces. The war continued for ten years, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, until the Soviet Union finally withdrew its troops on February 15, 1989.

Victory Day is celebrated on April 28 to commemorate the day when the last Soviet troops left Afghanistan. It is a day of joy and pride for the people of Afghanistan as they remember how their brave warriors fought for their country’s freedom. The day is also a reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the struggles faced by the Afghan people.

On this day, ceremonies and events are held across Afghanistan to honor the war heroes and martyrs. People gather in parks and public places to listen to speeches, watch parades, and participate in cultural activities. National flags are hoisted all over the country, and fireworks are set off to mark the occasion. Schools and government offices are closed, and people enjoy a day off from work to celebrate with their families.

Victory Day is not just a historical event in Afghanistan, but it also represents the spirit and unity of the Afghan people. It serves as a reminder that together, they have the strength to overcome any challenge and emerge victorious. This day is a celebration of not just one victory, but the courage, determination and resilience of the Afghan people.
