Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A United Nations observance celebrating friendship, understanding, and peace between people and communities.
A day for the stories people inherit, correct, retell, laugh about, argue over, and pass along.
The anniversary of the accession of King Mohammed VI to the throne in 1999. The day is observed with a military parade, the king's address, and the flying of the Moroccan flag (red with a green pentagram). The day is both celebration and reflection, because the king is the most powerful person in Morocco (the head of state, the head of government, and the commander of the armed forces), and the day is a reminder of the authority of the monarchy.
