Agadir in National Colors: Souss-Massa Regional Wali Presides Over Flag-Raising Ceremony Marking the First Anniversary of Unity Day

On October 31, 2026, Wali Saïd Amzazi presided over the national flag salute ceremony at Unity Square on Agadir’s corniche, in the presence of civil, security and military authorities, elected officials and civil society representatives.

In an atmosphere imbued with solidarity and national pride, Saïd Amzazi, Wali of the Souss-Massa region and governor of Agadir Ida-Outanane Prefecture, presided on the morning of Saturday, October 31, 2026, over the national flag salute ceremony at Unity Square on Agadir’s seafront, as part of celebrations marking the first anniversary of Unity Day.

The official ceremony was attended by a large gathering, including representatives of the local authorities, security and military officials, elected representatives, representatives of external government services, and civil society actors, reflecting the scale of institutional and societal mobilization surrounding this major historic milestone.

Unity Square, an important urban open space in the capital of Souss, provided an ideal setting to highlight the dimensions of the Kingdom’s territorial and national unity and reaffirm unwavering commitment to the nation’s fundamental principles and sacred values, against a backdrop imbued with the symbolism of the Moroccan flag and its profound significance for citizens.

The celebration of the first anniversary of Unity Day carries a dual significance in the current national context, given its connection to the major developments concerning the Moroccan Sahara issue and the resulting need to close ranks, strengthen cohesion on the domestic front, and unite all components of society around the country’s major causes.

The presence of various stakeholders at the celebration underscored the central role of coordination between the administration, elected representatives, and civil society in embedding the values of citizenship, belonging, and pride in Morocco’s centuries-old identity.

This national milestone concluded with a reaffirmation of the eminent place of the national flag as a symbol of sovereignty and unity, and as an expression of the close bond uniting Moroccans with their homeland, along a continuous path toward comprehensive development, the preservation of stability, and the defense of the Kingdom’s territorial integrity.
