 The Revolution of the King and the People, whose 68th anniversary Moroccans are celebrating on Friday, is an opportunity to highlight the scope and the symbolism of an unceasingly renewed struggle to build and raise the Nation's edifices and safeguard its territorial integrity.
In an atmosphere of enthusiasm and continuous mobilization, the Moroccan people as well as the family of the Resistance and the Liberation Army commemorate this anniversary rich in lessons of patriotism, an event engraved in the historical memory of the Kingdom in terms of the quest for freedom, independence and unity of the Homeland, under the leadership of the glorious Alawite Throne.
On August 20, 1953, the colonial authorities, the High Commission for former resistance fighters and former members of the liberation army, forced into exile the hero of liberation and independence, the late HM King Mohammed V, in an attempt to extinguish the flame of the national struggle.
However, this heinous act only aroused a strong mobilization of the Moroccan people who rose up in all regions of the country to defend the greatness of the country, to protect the sovereignty of the Kingdom and to demand with force the return of the late Sovereign, symbol of the unity of the Nation.
The resistance of a whole people made the colonial power bend and it had no other choice but to free the Father of the Nation who made a triumphal return to his country, bringing the good news of the end of the protectorate and the advent of independence and freedom.
This epic is an important and decisive historical step in the process of the national struggle that Moroccans have led for decades and generations to free themselves from the colonial yoke, giving the example of the unwavering attachment between the components of the Moroccan people, for the defense of their sacred values and their national constants, stresses the High Commission.
The epic of the Revolution of the King and the People has a special place in the heart of every Moroccan, because it carries the values of patriotism, pride of national belonging, sacrifice, commitment and victory of the will of the Throne and the people.
The family of the resistance and the Liberation Army took the opportunity of this commemoration to reaffirm its continuous mobilization behind His Majesty King Mohammed VI, in order to defend the territorial integrity of the Kingdom, to contribute to the dynamics of building a modern and prosperous Morocco and to face all maneuvers aimed at undermining its sacred causes.
