To mark the 80th anniversary of the presentation of the Independence Manifesto, an exhibition of historical photos has opened at the National Library of the Kingdom of Morocco. Organised by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, the two-day exhibition highlights the epics of Moroccan history and the national struggle for independence.
The photographs on display illustrate the symbiosis and communion between the Alawite throne and the Moroccan people, capturing moments of elation and jubilation following independence. They also document the popular uprising after the exile of His Majesty Mohammed V and the actions of the National Liberation Army.
The Minister for Youth, Culture and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, emphasised the importance of this anniversary and the exhibition's intention to retrace the key stages of national history and the struggle waged by the Royal Family and the Moroccan people for freedom and independence.
The aim of the exhibition is to revive the national memory and recall the role played by the Throne and the Moroccan people in the struggle for independence, offering an opportunity to delve into the pages of Moroccan history.
