International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism in
International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of TerrorismThe International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism is observed to honor and support the victims and survivors of terrorism, as well as to raise awareness about ongoing challenges. This day seeks to not only remember those who have lost their lives due to terrorism, but also to demonstrate solidarity with survivors and families impacted by terrorist attacks. South Africa faced terrorism during the Apartheid era, which lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s. During this period, a number of anti-Apartheid groups, including the African National Congress (ANC), were labeled as terrorist organizations by the government, and individuals associated with these groups were targeted by discriminatory laws and repressive actions. In 2020, South Africa observed the Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism with a virtual event organized by the Department of International Relations and Cooperation. The day aimed to remember victims of terrorism and to raise awareness of ongoing global efforts to combat terrorism. The International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism is observed annually on August 21st. Facts about Victims of Terrorism
