Morocco - Independence Manifesto Day
One of the most important holidays for Moroccans is Independence Manifesto Day (also called Independence Resistance Day). The annual celebration of this holiday falls on January 11.
Independence Manifesto Day commemorates the day when the document demanding independence for the country was sent to France, the USA and Great Britain. These events took place in 1944 during the reign of late Mohammed V and were forced by the Istiqlal Party, that was founded in 1943 with discrete support from the U.S.
