Yawm al-Istiqlal

The anniversary of the 1944 publication of the Manifesto of Independence, when the Moroccan nationalist movement demanded independence from France. The day is observed with ceremonies and the reminder that independence was achieved through negotiation, not war. Morocco became fully independent on March 2, 1956, but this date marks the bold declaration that set everything in motion.
