Every year on November 18, the Kingdom of Morocco commemorates its independence, during which the struggles of the Moroccan people, led by Sultan Mohammed V, drove out the French and Spanish colonists in 1956.
It is a shining memory in the history of the Kingdom of Morocco, added to several stations, which embody the victories of the people and the throne, to build a modern State, on the basis of institutions, in full respect for the right and the law.
It was a long battle in which the people of the country stood side by side with their wise leadership, which refused to submit to the occupation authorities and struggled alongside the people of the country until independence and unity prevailed throughout the country.
