Day of Revenge
Libyan holiday currently named Friendship Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Day of Revenge (Arabic: يوم الانتقام Yūm al-Intiqāmi) was a Libyan holiday celebrating the expulsion of Italians from Libyan soil in 1970. Some sources also claim that the 1948–67 expulsion of Libyan Jews was also celebrated.[1][2]
It was canceled in 2004 after Silvio Berlusconi apologized for Italian colonization in Libya, but reintroduced the next year.[3][4][5][6] Later, it was renamed the Day of Friendship because of improvement in Italy–Libya relations.[7][8][9]
