Constitution Day Holiday

Each 1 May is Constitution Day in the Marshall Islands to celebrate the day in 1979 when a new Constitution was adopted and status as an independent republic was achieved. In 2027, Constitution Day falls on Saturday 1 May. The holiday will be on Monday 1 May in 2028. What is today the Marshall Islands was long the abode of native tribes. The islands were first discovered by Spain in the colonial era, but Germany ultimately took control of them. During World War I, Japan seized the Marshall Islands from Germany. During World War II, the US took control of the islands from Japan. In a referendum held in 1978, the people of Marshall Islands voted for independence, and on 1 May 1979, full independence under a new republican constitution came into effect. The constitution provides for a strong president but also for a parliament. On Constitution Day, there are major parades all over the country, field day events at schools, and a variety of sports contests.

Independence Day

Mauritania became an independent nation by on 28 November 1960 by declaration of its “Constituent Assembly”. Independence Day is celebrated on this date each year to remember this important historic event. In 2026, Independence Day falls on Saturday 28 November. The holiday will be on Sunday 28 November in 2027. Although Berbers and other tribes had lived in the region for as long as anyone can remember, there was no “Mauritania” as such before the arrival of the French colonialists. They essentially created a new colony that incorporated the lands of numerous local tribes in the region into one “new country”. France colonised what is now Mauritania to block the expansion of Spanish Morocco and to create a “land bridge” between French Algeria and French West Africa. Their conquest of the area began at Adar and moved inland. After the French established a new constitution in 1958, they had hoped that Mauritania might remain within the “French Community” even if they opted for independence. But instead, the country fully left being under French influence by 1960. After independence, Morocco tried to oppose them or dominate them, but Mauritania successfully resisted.

National Unity Day

June 27 is National Unity Day in Tajikistan to commemorate the end of the five-year civil war that raged from 1992 till 1997. In 2026, National Unity Day falls on Saturday 27 June. The holiday will be on Sunday 27 June in 2027. After Tajikistan declared itself independent of the USSR in 1991, hopes were high that peace would accompany the nation’s newfound freedom. However, when Rahmon Nabiyev prevailed in the first presidential election, opposition to his policies began to grow. After only the first few months of president Nabiyev’s term, anti-government demonstrations began to pop up. Soon, both sides began forming militias. By May of 1992, an all-out civil war had erupted. Nabiyev was ousted by September of 1992, but that did not solve the conflict. The disagreements ran deeper than that, and foreign powers were interfering to keep the fighting going. Russia supported the pro-government side, while Afghan, Taliban, and Al Qaeda forces supported opposition groups. On 27 June 1997, the war ended when a ceasefire was agreed to by both sides. Some say that as many as 100,000 died in the civil war and over a million people were driven from their homes. On National Unity Day, the president of Tajikistan will typically give a speech promoting national unity. And there will also be official government ceremonies of a very solemn character held on this day.
