Google is celebrating the 69th anniversary of Morocco’s Independence Day on November 18, marking a historic moment in the nation’s history.
The tech giant featured a special “doodle” on its homepage, showcasing the Moroccan flag waving against a backdrop of an orange-yellow sky. Clicking on the doodle leads users to a variety of resources about the significance of the day.
The date commemorates the 1955 return of King Mohammed V from exile and his landmark speech announcing the end of France’s protectorate over Morocco. In his address, the late monarch declared, “We are pleased to announce the end of the tutelage and protectorate regime and the advent of freedom and independence.” He also famously stated, “Morocco is leaving the small jihad to engage in the great jihad.”
Each year, Google celebrates Morocco’s national holidays and highlights prominent figures from the country in its global doodles.
