The king, the kickboxer and the crisis brewing in Morocco. From 1843 magazine

But Morocco’s 37m people facethat have roiled so much of the Arab world over the past decade: insufficient jobs, soaring inflation and oppressive security services. This has not, so far, resulted in serious upheaval, in part because of the king’s prompt introduction of constitutional reforms at the height of the Arab spring in 2011. But now turmoil is on the horizon, and the king, insiders say, is hardly to be seen.

As the brothers thrived, court officials grew ashen-faced. In theory Morocco has a constitutional monarchy. In reality Mohammed is far more than a figurehead. He has the final say on every matter of importance, and without him, the country’s political factions tend to descend into impotent bickering. The Middle East is littered with the wrecks of regimes that have failed to act decisively in moments of crisis. “We’re a plane without a pilot,” frets a former official.

The king sits at the pinnacle of this system. After the Arab spring some constitutional changes were introduced giving more power to elected officials, but the monarch can still rule as an autocrat if he wants to. He is head of the armed forces, the ultimate judicial authority, and can dismiss parliament by royal decree.

Officially, he was interning at the European Commission. But Europe’s nightlife seems to have appealed to him more than its committee rooms. According to another biography of Mohammed by Ferran Sales Aige, anjournalist, Hassan’s spies informed him that the young prince was frequenting bars. The king’s dissatisfaction with his son grew. “A chromosome error,” he was once reported to have remarked in despair.

Within months of taking the throne he began to fire senior officials, starting with the interior minister rumoured to have spied on him in Nice. He appointed an Equity and Reconciliation Commission to review cases of human-rights abuses under his father. He reformed the, the Islamic legal code, making it easier for women to divorce their husbands. He built a network of motorways and railways across the country.

Makhzen insiders and courtiers started to complain that Abu and his brothers acted as if they were royals themselves. “They treat provincial governors like their drivers” Abu was given some official duties – Mohammed put him in charge of a sports association which invited famous footballers to an event celebrating Morocco’s annexation of Western Sahara in 1976.insiders and courtiers started to complain that Abu and his brothers acted as if they were royals themselves. They “boss around ministers”, grumbles one courtier. “They treat provincial governors like their drivers,” adds a businessman.

This king IS a s s h o l e

You can be a royal and a thug at the same time.

It's been known among certain circles the kings gender 'preference' when it comes to good times.

I think he is coming to the Coronation. Right?

In case you are looking for the king. HM the king MohammedVI,commander of the Faithful, chaired a religious evening in commemoration of LaylatQadr at HassanII Mosque in casablanca.He celebrated this event together with moroccans when you were too busy posting this bullshit again

Macron has always been a loyal puppet of the international banking elite.Everyone knows that the economist is Rothschild's mouthpiece,former macron's bosses.yr article is a bullshit. you can write wtv you want,we don't give a shit😌Long live the King🇲🇦Long live the Moroccan Sahra

Morocco has not been spared throughout its history from the arrows of yellow media, and most of these campaigns are due to the clear positions of this country towards all issues and its successes at all levels... We are all proud of our king and contry.

The real 'plane without a pilot' is The Economist for letting such garbage be published. This is not journalism.

You are so low!! Yellow press

Because he’s in love, obviously

Le Maroc à son Roi. nous sommes fiers de nos coutumes, de notre histoire et de notre monarchie. 🇲🇦 الله الوطن الملك

He gay.

DdLnd2 C'est bizarre que les Ayachis (les marocains qui crient :vive le roi du Maroc) et les mouches électroniques du Makhzen (le régime marocain) ne sont pas venus commenter & surtout vous agresser 🤔 À mon avis ils n'ont pas encore vu la publication 😂

This report of one of the Dutch channels confirms this, saying that the King of Morocco goes to gay bars in the Netherlands

Mohammed 6 is called 'believers' King'. That's shameful, he gives an awful image of Islam religion. I wonder why Moroccans can't rebel against him? He is among the richest men in Africa and Middle East just by stealing the Moroccan people wealths. mohammed_6_down

Fu***ng liers shame on you😡

You won't get Morocco's attention, pathetic.

The problem is that the writer have a grudge against Morocco, let him cry 😢

SD46000 Relation between King and Abou Zaitra is 👇

Now, he is the host of a gossip show on a Spanish TV channel, Telecinco.

He recently spent three months in Gabon, where the current Ali Bongo is a childhood friend of his.

يا للعار و الكارثة و الفضيحة الكبرى. تلقبّ بامير المؤمنين و باقي المؤمنين يرفضون ذالك. ما بقي له بعد فضيحة تصرفه البهيمي إلا ان يُدفن و ينساه الكل في نسيان ازلي 🇩🇿

So out of a picture with a kickboxer, and the fact that he stays in his palace most of the times you’re going to pull out this story out of thin air ? I hope your people know the failure of a journal that you are. Here he is you low-life forms.

Le están poniendo el culo como una autovía de 8 carriles.

Ivan24325830 I hear he spends most of his time in France because Morocco is too little for him. He has several palaces and castles and studs where he breeds thoroughbred horses here.

If Mohamed VI is homosexual, what is the problem?

Homosexual Mohammed

🏳️‍🌈

And where is the king's wife? She hasn't been seen in ages.

Are u f kidding me ? What’s with this article? Man is a king he is busy as he should

Why would he spend time with german cage fighter

The world faces multiple crises. So why is suddenly attacking one of the last remaining monarchies with false accusations? 🙂 Do you have any proofs that he's 'spending so much time on holiday with a German cage fighter'? lol

Could be worse. Could be Andrew Tate.
