Day of Revenge
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 departure of Libyan Jews was also celebrated.[1]
It was canceled in 2004 after Silvio Berlusconi apologized for Italian colonization in Libya, but reintroduced the next year.[2][3][4][5] Later, it was renamed the Day of Friendship because of improvement in Italy–Libya relations.[6][7][8]
