Anniversary of the Recovery of Oued Ed-Dahab
August 14, 2025-August 14, 2025 -
Morocco, Morocco
Moroccans celebrate the Anniversary of the Recovery of Oued Ed-Dahab every year on August 14 to commemorate the day this territory returned to Morocco. Western Sahara was occupied by Spain from 1884 to 1976. Morocco’s attempt to reclaim the territory caused a war that lasted nearly 16 years. After many years of struggling to reclaim the land that was once there, Morocco was able to claim a large portion of Western Sahara. This national holiday celebrates this achievement. It’s a very important day in Moroccan history as it was the last step in claiming independence after Spanish colonization.
