October 31 becomes symbol of territorial integrity as Morocco declares Unity Day

The proclamation of October 31 as a Unity Day marks the first national holiday since the recovery of Oued Eddahab in 1979.

The declaration comes in the wake of significant diplomatic progress on the Sahara issue, notably the growing
international recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty and the credibility of its Autonomy Plan.

Unity Day thus serves as a strategic affirmation of Morocco’s territorial integrity and national Unity, highlighting the sacrifices of generations to safeguard the country.

The proclamation of October 31 a Unity Day is a statement of principle and a celebration of inclusive patriotism that takes pride in all the constituents of the nation.

By institutionalizing Unity Day, Morocco is not only commemorating its territorial integrity but also redefining its collective consciousness. October 31 will now serve as a day of reflection, renewal, and reaffirmation of the Kingdom’s sacred values and shared destiny under the leadership of a forward-looking monarchy.
