“Solidarity and Unity” Valued in King Mohammed VI’s Green March Speech King Mohammed VI recognized the sacrifice of Moroccans all over the country for the sake of enhancing a dignified life for their brothers and sisters in the southern provinces. People gave from their estates, and endowed even their lives for defending the “Western Sahara.” “There are widows who have to shoulder the burdens of life on their own; there are orphans who – for the sake of the Sahara – never knew a father’s affectionate love. There are young people who have been deprived of their freedom, and who have lived for many years as prisoners, for the sake of the Sahara,” he noted. He said the dispute has not been an issue only for the Saharan people, but Morocco itself has suffered-leaving behind widows and orphans. If all this suffering justifies anything, it is only the solidarity and love that are among the components of the Moroccan Identity. Thus, the king’s speech reflects the aspect of solidarity found in the following Hadith: “The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.”
