A key moment in this national struggle for independence was the historic visit of the father of the nation and the hero of liberation, the late Mohammed V, to Tangier in April 1947. This visit confirmed the attachment of Morocco, King and people, to its freedom, territorial integrity, and identity. The national movement also worked to raise awareness of the Moroccan cause on the international stage, which threw the colonial authorities into disarray. A new era then began, marked by reforms launched by the late Mohammed V in all vital sectors, aimed at building a modern Morocco and ensuring its territorial integrity. The celebration of Independence Day is an opportunity to revisit the glorious pages of Morocco’s history, filled with heroic acts and sacrifices made to defend the sacred values of the nation.
