Google Dooles 18.11.2021 07:46  Date: November 18, 2021 Instantly recognizable by the views of its earthen Moroccan architecture, the tastes of its vibrant ras el hanout spices, or the sounds of poetic malhun music, Morocco lies at the tip of the African continent as a cosmopolitan melting pot. Today’s Doodle celebrates Morocco’s Independence Day, which commemorates the end of French colonial rule on this day in 1955. From the ancient city of Marrakesh to the unofficial cultural capital of Fez in the northeast, street vendors draw inspiration from Berber, Arab, and European influences to celebrate Independence Day with the preparation of local delicacies such as bessara and battered spicy sardines. Traditionally, celebrations are carried out across multiple days as Morocco’s main thoroughfare brightens with the colors of the national flag, depicted in today’s Doodle artwork. Many television networks broadcast documentary programming that commemorates the nation’s struggle to overcome colonial powers, giving a chance for Moroccans to reflect on the independence movement that restored a heritage stretching back thousands of years. Happy Independence Day, Morocco! Location: Tags: , , , ,
