On this November 18, Morocco’s Independence Day, Google has once again paid tribute to the nation’s rich history and culture by featuring a custom doodle on its homepage.
This morning, Moroccan internet users were greeted with a vibrant illustration depicting the national flag—a green star on a red field—waving proudly against an orange-hued sky. The imagery evokes the promise of a new dawn, symbolizing the country’s emergence as an independent and sovereign state after decades of foreign rule.
The date commemorates a pivotal moment in Morocco’s history: November 18, 1956, the official recognition of its independence. This day honors the sacrifices made by the Moroccan people and their leaders, particularly King Mohammed V, in their struggle for freedom and the affirmation of their national identity.
Google’s doodle, which blends cultural pride with artistic symbolism, serves as a reminder of the significance of this historic milestone. It transcends borders, sharing Morocco’s story with a global audience while highlighting the nation’s heritage, resilience, and cultural depth.
Through this gesture, Google celebrates not only Morocco’s Independence Day but also the enduring values of freedom and national pride that resonate far beyond its borders.
