EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a historic moment in Moroccan history - the Green March of November 1975. The road is filled with trucks and buses carrying Moroccan civilian men into Western Sahara, as they embark on a journey to participate in this mass demonstration organized by King Hassan II.
The Green March was a peaceful protest aimed at forcing Spain to give up control of the Spanish Province of Sahara and hand it over to Morocco. Over 350,000 people took part in this great displacement, demonstrating their unity and determination to reclaim what they believed was rightfully theirs.
In this image, we see unarmed Moroccans traveling towards Western Sahara, ready to make their voices heard and demand justice for their fellow countrymen living under colonial rule. The sheer number of participants reflects the deep-rooted desire for self-determination and freedom from foreign occupation.
As these brave individuals set out on this symbolic journey, they carry with them the hopes and dreams of an entire nation. Their actions speak volumes about the resilience and strength of the Moroccan people in the face of adversity.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in African history, showcasing the power of peaceful protest and collective action in bringing about change.
