Morocco Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 18.11.2022 04:30  Date: November 18, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Morocco’s Independence Day. On this day in 1855, King Mohammed V returned home and began negotiating the country’s independence. Upon returning, King Mohammed delivered an iconic independence speech that catapulted the nation's journey to freedom. Morocco formally gained independence from French and Spanish control a few months later through King Mohammed's steadfast negotiating efforts. Thus, when his son, King Hassan II, inherited the throne, he chose the day his father returned home to celebrate Eid Al Istiqlal . In Morocco, people celebrate the national holiday by enjoying parades and waving Moroccan flags like the one featured in today’s Doodle. The flag features a green five-pointed star in a field of red, which symbolizes strength and bravery. Along the streets, vendors serve local favorites like bowls of babbouche and ​​harira , as well as sweets like chebakia and sfenj . TV stations in Morocco feature documentaries about the people and events that advanced Morocco's freedom, and citizens honor those who struggled for the freedom of their country. Happy Independence Day, Morocco! Location: Tags:
