Background: This poster commemorates April 30, known in Egypt as the Farmers’ Martyrs Anniversary, honoring Salah Hussein, a peasant leader from the village of Kamshish in Monufia. Hussein was assassinated in 1966 during his struggle against feudal landowners and in defense of farmers’ rights following Egypt’s agrarian reforms. His death became a powerful symbol of rural resistance and social justice, later carried forward by his wife Shahenda Maklad and other activists. The date remains remembered as a moment of solidarity with Egypt’s peasant movement and their fight for dignity and equality in the countryside.
