The protocol for the celebration of Eid El Adha, traditionally presided over by the monarch, has been truncated by questionable images shown on television.
Morocco lives to the rhythm of a “revolution” of palaces. The war of succession is raging, the Royal Armed Forces are divided, especially since King Mohamed VI is not in a position of helmsman because of his extremely serious state of health.
The stakes at the level of the Makhzen take a turn, the least that one can say of impasse, and of crisis against a backdrop of pitched battles within the royal family and its repercussions on the future of Morocco and its people which suffers the jumble of a most disastrous and catastrophic economic and social crisis. The crisis is such that the royal palace has been transformed into a place of the wildest maneuvers and intrigues, to such an extent that rumors spread like wildfire about clan struggles, including within of the Royal Armed Forces via “the intelligence services of Hammouchi and Mansouri and the senior military officials of the staff of the Royal Armed Forces, FAR”. According to sources who are expressed in a parsimonious way, about this war of succession, the Makhzen faces real tussles about the choice of the successor of King Mohammed VI.
Access to the throne, according to the criteria of the royal palace is behind these divisions. Hammouchi, and some of the senior staff of the Royal Armed Forces are in favor of Moulay Rachid’s accession to the throne. The explanations that “would justify” this option are related to the royal protocol which requires that access to the throne requires “fulfilling one of the conditions of access to the throne, namely having an heir”. The case of Crown Prince Hassan III does not comply with this rule required in order to claim the throne. It is this “problem” that has sparked disagreements within the FAR and the Moroccan intelligence services. They can’t get consensus around Crown Prince Hassan III, who just turned 18 recently.
This is the reason why Moulay Rachid is approached in order to accede to the throne and he manages to have the unanimity of Hammouchi, the boss of the intelligence services and part of the staff of the Royal Armed Forces. Moulay Rachid is seen as the potential successor of his brother King Mohamed VI, for a reason that is in accordance with the protocol of the accession to the throne. The birth of a “second son, Moulay Abdesslem, on June 1 made Moulay Rachid the candidate for Hammouchi and the senior officers of the general staff. The dubious celebration, from France, of Eid Al Adha expresses a crisis within the royal palace. The protocol for the celebration of the Eid El Adha festival, “traditionally presided over by the monarch through the retransmission of images of the sacrifice of the sheep”, has been truncated by questionable images shown on television. The staging fooled no one.
The rumors that circulated a few days ago about the video of King Mohammed VI with a Moroccan sportsman walking in the streets of Paris quickly called into question the veracity of this old video which was edited to tell Moroccans that the king is healthy and things are looking up. The Moroccan people are in a rage, especially since a big demonstration is planned for July 17 to denounce the Makhzen government and its catastrophic management of the economic and social aspects.
Moroccans are suffering the consequences of the suicidal policy of the Makhzen, which has led the country to the brink of bankruptcy and unnatural alliances, by normalizing with the Zionist entity.
