The Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in Lyon, France, organized a meeting with members of the Moroccan community and some associations active in the region, on the occasion of the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the submission of the claim document of the independence, which is one of the significant historical stages of the process of national struggle against French colonialism for the independence of Morocco.
During this meeting, a documentary cassette was shown highlighting the major role played by the petition demanding independence in accelerating Morocco’s reestablishment of its sovereignty over its lands.
Ms. Fatima Al-Baroudi, Consul General, for her part, gave a speech in which she underlined that the presentation of the document demanding independence on January 11, 1944 constitutes a decisive moment in the history of Morocco, reflecting the unity of the Moroccan people under the leadership of the late King Mohammed V, who supported popular demands for freedom and independence.
This type of meeting between the Consulate and members of our community abroad is an opportunity to highlight the historical epic that characterizes our country and an opportunity to consolidate their national identity.
