The Moroccan people will celebrate tomorrow, Monday, the sixty-ninth anniversary of Independence Day in an atmosphere marked by feelings of pride and honor, commemorating this historic day that crowned a long national struggle to defend the unity, sovereignty, and constants of the kingdom, under the complete cohesion between the throne and the people.
This historic occasion, engraved in the kingdom’s memory and the hearts of all Moroccans, provides an opportunity to recall the historical context of this great event that embodied the triumph of the shared will of the throne and the people in a long-lasting battle to liberate the country from colonial rule and lay the foundations for an independent Morocco looking forward to a promising future.
The historic visit made by the father of the nation and hero of liberation, the late King Mohammed V, to Tangier in April 1947, stands out as a landmark in this national struggle for independence, confirming Morocco’s attachment, both King and people, to its freedom, sovereignty, and identity.
Among the national movement’s most notable achievements was its transition in the early 1930s to organized political action to ignite the national spirit among various segments of Moroccan society, especially among youth, while also working to promote the Moroccan cause on the international stage.
Despite the colonizer’s exile of King Mohammed V and the Royal Family, first to Corsica and then to Madagascar, the momentum of national struggle did not weaken but rather led to a widespread uprising in all cities and villages of the kingdom.
Morocco witnessed numerous heroic battles and popular uprisings that embodied the Moroccan people’s resistance against foreign presence, most notably the battles of El-Hri, Anoual, Bougafer, Djebel Baddou, and Sidi Bou Othmane, as well as the uprising of the Ait Baamrane tribes and the southern provinces, among other historical epics that inflicted heavy losses on colonial forces.
