Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I was astonished by Olga Bel's historical misconception when she said that Morocco was constituted in 1956 (letters, 17 June).
The Kingdom of Morocco is a 12-centuries old monarchy which, during all that period, has remained a free and sovereign state. The very limited protectorate period (44 years, from 1912 to 1956) was but a parenthesis in the long history of Morocco as a state and a nation.
Ceuta and, indeed, Mellia have been always integrated parts of the Kingdom of Morocco. Our endeavour to put an end to the present anachronistic situation has never ceased, and we are full of hope that a suitable solution could soon be found within the framework of our long-standing and closely-knit friendship with our Spanish neighbours.
