This is a key event in the contemporary history of the Kingdom whose date of commemoration links the independence of Morocco with the recovery of its southern provinces since November 18 a few days after the anniversary of the green March, which is also celebrated in November.

Two dates that characterize the two most important events in the history of contemporary Morocco: independence and the return of the Sahara to the motherland.

The founding act of freedom that late Mohammed V defined as passage from "the little jihad to n the great jihad" that late King Hassan II continued by the building and unification of the country, through the Green March.

The torch was taken by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the country’s modernizer, creator of a radical reform and builder of a modern and solidary nation.
