This exceptional commemoration takes place in a unique political context: the adoption in New York of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2797, which confirms the preeminence of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan under Moroccan sovereignty as the only serious, credible, and realistic basis for resolving the regional dispute over the Sahara. A historic consecration, a diplomatic victory, and an irreversible turning point.
The Green March: From Historic Epic to Future Strategy
In 1975, 350,000 volunteers marched peacefully, holding the Quran in one hand and the national flag in the other, to restore the territorial continuity of the Kingdom.
Today, that march continues—within international institutions, regional organizations, and through the strategic alliances that Morocco has built under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
From the African Union, where Morocco regained its natural place, to the world’s major capitals, Moroccan diplomacy has established one clear truth: the Sahara is Moroccan—in history, in law, and on the ground.
The Kingdom’s adversaries, those who relied on manipulation, propaganda, and systematic hostility, now find themselves isolated, discredited, and overtaken by reality.
The international community no longer follows slogans, but facts: unprecedented development in the southern provinces, exemplary stability, major structural investments, and openness toward Africa and the world.
Fifty Years of Loyalty: A United and Victorious Kingdom
This 50th anniversary marks two triumphs: the triumph of national memory, of the unity between the people and the King, and the triumph of Moroccan diplomacy—wise, coherent, and consistent—which has successfully transformed historical legitimacy into global recognition.
The Green March does not belong to the past—it is our present, and it illuminates our future. Under the red flag bearing the green star, Morocco advances—calm, strong, and victorious. The March continues. And it continues toward history.
