On July 23, MINURSO celebrated Egypt’s National Day by raising the Egyptian flag alongside the United Nations flag at its headquarters.

Egypt has a long history of supporting UN peacekeeping efforts since 1960.  Today, it provides more than 1,200 personnel to peacekeeping operations, including 16 Military Observers with MINURSO at the Mission headquarters and various Team Sites.

Egypt’s National Day commemorates the 1952 Revolution, which brought an end to the monarchy and established the republic.
