. get a step ahead with d w. business beyond. ah ah, in 2019 morocco's celebrated 20 years since king mohammed the 6th, ascension to the throne. during these 2 decades, the king has asserted his personality, the successor to to iconic rulers, muhammad, the 5th and house on the 2nd. the young king has imposed his own style, reforming the country of 36000000 residency, compared with remote nipple. gall morocco is not yet a real democracy. morocco is on the road to democracy. like, do you remember who governs morocco? the king? of course, it's not like in spain or britain on woodman with a new one. the king makes all the important decisions of the country. of royal

decree is like a rogue. marianne soon fainted. ah, i am at the 6th rules, a country rife with social inequalities. though he's willing to implement reforms, he must also reconcile the conflicting interests of tradition and customary law, which poses numerous challenges and considerable risks. remains the job of the moroccan king as a constant balancing act, the risks revolution. the fall of the monarchy, losing the throne of decline. ah, ah, ah d o hm. at the 6th is the 23rd king of the underwood, dennis d, which has ruled morocco since the 17th century. from the moment he was crowned,

he displayed a distinctly modern style. but despite his moderate personality, one should not forget that the new king was trained to be a ruler from an early age. following the family tradition, mom at the 6th attended the school at the royal palace. his classmates were 5 sons of prestigious families and 7 boys from humble backgrounds, selected from the best primary school graduates in the country. ah, the air to the throne is a shy man. standing in the shadow of his imposing father huss, on the 2nd, ah, less familiar to the people. the king's son immediately learned the rules of the monarchy. rameses damaged, therefore because mohammed the 6th was a mystery to many people. maybe moses, he was always in the shadow of his father that he but they accepted him well

because moroccans fully support the monarchy. a boot camp is every so often political or economic decisions had challenged them, but the monarchy remains at the heart of moroccan politics. we seek milcurie, i'm going to shoot it, continued the monarchy means continuity. son, o hm. at the 5th house on the 2nd muhammad, the 6th, and on it goes the switching it, i'm not one us. she either with the other with monarchy has been the longest so far, because it's rulers know how to respond to the people and be loved by them. for for amy you soon christian. if it's a matter of national pride of heritage, he'll fail in a referendum 99.9 percent of them would vote to keep it the death of king her son, the 2nd on july 23rd 1999 caused great consternation and grief among the population in spite of his authoritarian style of leadership and are both hilton news and some

new born with king his son, the 2nd we grew up with him on his and doing it. he was a king with a very strong personality and who carried the country through a very difficult and significant period in our history. he left a strong mark on the country and its people that were marquee. o, cindy sees it damn every one dreaded his son's death because every one wanted what would happen next to what he does any of any. uh huh. so not hard. assuming no matter what elena and m, rocky bought on july 30th 1999 king mohammed, the 6th was crowned mammoth. he thought he install a trone mohammed. the 6th ascended the throne with a clear conscience. you know your please. he had not imprisoned or tortured any one bargain. he had not taken a stand on any sensitive issue. you shoot

a link or the moroccan people who regard the monarchy as a symbol of the country. stability you. he embodied new hopi, the good one, this busy c menchie stadium for city marsh book really was considered the king of the poor from the beginning to move a king who was close to the people who went out on the streets and grated people. when he had his picture taken with them, of it could not hear this created this image of a modern king, which i think reflected his personality. 40 corresponding mitchell hoffman, do bitterness. ah women nipper mohammed, the 6th isn't a great orator. black, he prefers direct contact with the people interaction with the population. prisons, surely tara lengthy or this was evident, right at the beginning of his rance is where ye, oh, did you run? did that? yes, i did not hesitate to approach the people. i. li,

i don't want you conveyed strong messages with his action history instead of his words, the key fee in papa the kid sitting like from cd, assuming it was a process with the country and more with all of morocco. no, not just the aristocrats, all the people who come from the bottom of the very, very bottom you could feel he was sincere and that made people hopefully acre good as well to separate diet. and we're done. and all this may seem trivial as it's not about big politics or major decisions. so at the end, but it created a new style and a new way of governing new menilli. then it was a different kind of monarch yamuna. a monarchy in touch with the times could a vic of example ah, the king's private life also caused some surprise. this was the 1st time in the country's history that a monarch introduced his wife to his subjects. a real evolution. his marriage to

a young middle class computer engineer is a sign of change, especially for women and in wisdom country where their status is a major political issue. re full minded civil society and feminists in particular have been depending on the youth and modernity of the new monarch to drive social change. okay, for you to thought of when or appeal mr. was the hardy when he sat will let you to kill as will her on his way through that almost sullivan theory. the more i at the moment. mm hm. that dean henny from unhook wound abbey. how chicago coronel to tell us the mussa root can come from our can miss sante more we moroccan women felt that our position had greatly improved because his majesty demonstrated i real political motivation to empower women. so much you step upon raw her li farmer.

progressive groups wanted more than just words. they wanted a real legal and social revolution that established equal rights for men and women, including a change in family. in 2000, they organized a demonstration in the capital of rabbit. no good to do less. i mean family law was deeply discriminatory from it. considered women inferior to men and they were required to obey their husbands because they were financially dependent on them all . so oh my, it did give me no mine as were married off. and men could disown their wives at any time of an impulse to get more mon them. but to go. now if you don't like this home, is our men and women, old and young at the protest exemption for me, this sent an extremely important message because up until then,

there had been an assumption that only westernized radical feminists cared about these issues. but after that, i saw it became a general question of democracy and human rights em or tactic. took a strong that was a turning point and was, i think, not up to, oh, but they're also conservative forces. that same day a counter demonstration was organized in casablanca, the economic metropolis of the country. the vast majority of the participants were islamists sympathizes. do so many baths and saw me there only the organ is at the home of the food ali who together? blanca, in very done the most. i saw the 4th in 1st. oh see difficulty, feminine. they're loud. it is your you said you'd laugh. m dollars. the super and put it in except up when he back is it is as, as yes, miss linds memory is there monsieur dunaway though? what's the organization of the martin casa blanca? reflected what we are about originally. where do you,

when you said you were men walked on one side or curb the women on the other end as while the lad itself, the man's, were clear, he no changes to family law now and with the one i know to the application of western ideas and moroccans society reba. hotley be or is coffee ha and and was toma alimony. this presented a dilemma for the monarchy. he was progressive on social issues, but society was still predominantly conservative. as the head of the faithful, the king guarantees with freedom and practice of all religions. but his role as a descendant of the prophet puts him in a difficult position. yogi and these, you fancy, the king had a sincere desire for modernity or sea,

but at the same time he was also head of the faithful choir. in other words, the country's religious and spiritual leader. liza dee duper was the root of morocco's power, lies in its religious legitimacy. see and the king is given power because of his status as a descendant of the prophet qu, blue. what bit yup. would therefore ak unit because he cannot make rules according to his personal preferences or whimsically felicitous when who sit on sonya mil ah, the king's new progress of style had to contend with american population that was very concerned with the continuity of the monarchy. oh, the beth of crown prince malay l, her son in the 1st years of mohammed, the 6th reign, helped to reassure his people. ah, and were knocked a monarch who has the prospect of bequeath in his throne to his son or even to his

great grandchildren thinks differently. he looks ahead and the most important thing for him becomes the stability of the institution he represents. ah, the moroccan king is also the supreme political leader. he has broad powers, but he also has to manage and elected parliament. ah, since the late 19 ninety's political islam has been on the rise in the region. oh. in the kingdom of morocco, the religion focused islam is justice and development party presented itself as a solution to social problems. and as a champion of righteousness, it succeeded. in the 2002 parliamentary elections, the party achieved. a real breakthrough becoming the countries said strongest political force. wow. despite the rise of the

religious justice and development party, morocco was also plagued by religious fundamentalism on may 16th, 2003, a group of suicide. balmy's struck fear into the heart of casablanca. so the issue, the attacks came as a shock to every one young about 45 dead attacks in 5 different locations. 12 suicide bombers support for this was unprecedented. so he, victor, she label had always thought this only happened in other places. we always thought that morocco had a special religious status as a moderate tolerant islamic country movie. then it turned out that young moroccans were behind the attack. silk was at the jamal gun. one of the reasons why america was targeted was its commitment to stand with the waste in the fight against terrorism. since the attacks of september, 11th 2001 mohammed, the 6th has been committed to making his country bull walk against islamic fundamentalism in the mark wrapped in the massage. would you would have been

a den moolah sony, isn't it? his america, you'll see not put on hold of us yet, if you remember, the b a booster would comedy to be mr. me, of casual, to little, to embed it the talk i had spoken with that in america. that shirt and fin, since the attacks of september 11th 2001 in the usa fi, the kingdom of morocco has unconditionally joined international efforts to what with say. with them. small rocco coordinates, certain action and provides allies like the usa or bureau and dual arab and african countries with the information and data needed as we to combat terrorism met. well, unless i get a letter to the low b will cover hattie up in his address to the nation, the king condemned a destructive ideology that threatens his people and his country.

dig, look at the at central happy. okay. what units, anyhow, yes. as amended to sir, were theme was gentlemen and stuff. he didn't want to democrat, your silly name insult that he'd dolah omen. you would always wanna have karen to suck kilobytes on hospitality. so it is that i work in the phillip with to them, which would fit now a pay it isn't that the to me twice you and the school way after the 2003 attacks, the king made a rather harsh of speech. clearly announcing the state's new tough response to the little toleta. this was followed by a series of iraqis, the likes of which the country had never seen before. that you can as m a t v p or bubble. now, you're covered, washed on. the arrests made after the bloody attacks in casablanca. we're perfectly legal about, i don't. these people were members of terrorist cells that we dismantled. ha, ha, ha ha. some of that were adding up, soon, only she forgive, is just today. and according to the unofficial figures that were circulating at the

time between 3010000 people were said to have been arrested fun. her id book, one of the many of them had no connection whatsoever to the attack. 6, is that so the aim was not only to weaken islamism, duffy, but also to restore the states authority to put a ticket on the 5th of yellowstone tenderly, ah, the king was then in a strong position to pass laws that were close to his heart. first and foremost was the reform of family lou. but once again, he came up against age old resistance. ah, you kissed. overdue assisted him. oh, good. the conservatives american society were opposed to any change in the mood of one of the family law that governs marriage, succession, divorce, and so on. anything that affects the personal status. oscar with debbie bu, even for the descendant of a centuries old dynasty and head of the faithful,

it is difficult to change anything related to religion due to she at dusky to our port mohammed. the 6th may be the king elliptical, but he is still subject to the will of a large part of the population. gin majorly the jupiter marika lock you for the athens in upholstery deep, which the king had been waiting for a political opportunity. he sits in and that was the casablanca attacks, and that repercussions, these, that thought that do do, do k attacks had led to a weakening of the islamist justice and development potty? why is let me get back to you? because it was accused of having laid the ideological ground for terrorism, van addison, et cetera, you said that he, j. d, kept a low profile during this period, but from that value. and that was precisely when a breach opened up for this reform to be pushed through. it used to move one money vertically from oh, in february 2004, the law reforming the family code was passed in parliament marking

a historic moment, full moroccan women just cannot allow for me to consider them in until then. women were considered subordinate to men, but even in the home, no, for this change was very important because the greatest inequality existed within the family unit. suddenly, women were considered jointly responsible for the household correspond. this opened the door for many more achievements. a book called that key or no or no, we were tired time and again that this would never change, that family law was sacred and based on religion, it could not be changed, but we got those changes manually several years. shoshua. oh, known as to how can o'clock, we have an institution that protects us moroccan women see the king as their ally in asserting their rights. ah, another great achievement of mohammed. this sick is the truth commission,

founded in 2004 to investigate human rights violations. especially those committed under the reign of his father hassam the 2nd c, d. in facing extremity. it was an extremely intelligent and wise way to tackle such a sensitive subject and unconquered why. he made it very clear. ality my father, arrested, or tortured and imprisoned doesn't see hundreds, thousands of opposition. members, ye dupel him. why as his son want to reconcile this part of morocco's past and break that taboo model. and finally put that problem to rest that tab. you fool kerrville, etsy. in the early 19 seventies, a period of harsh state oppression began in morocco. it was

a response to 2 military coup attempt that nearly cost house on the 2nd, his life. for 3 decades, political opponents and democratic activists were suppressed and subjected to unprecedented levels of violence. bottle these any do please. they are called the use of lead or the black years a mob. it was the height of systematic impression, his domestic hassan, the 2nd did not or back has been doing this was a puzzle. le le dante, less formal. would you do what i was detained in one of the so called centers of the disappeared? this was not an official prison. you were held in one place, but no one knew where that place was it. no, sir you. when i the nie contact friend yeah. you have no contact with family or lawyers. charles, there were no charges, no trial, absolutely nothing up. so remote. okay, yeah. the law. and if we were caught trying to communicate with each other, do we were severely punished or it was torture?

was it did do like true enough for the victims of huss on the 2nd the truth commission was more than a symbol of recognition of their suffering. it also entitled them to compensation and above all an opportunity to tell the people of morocco about their experience. so that it could never be forgotten. i left a fellow. i didn't go at your earliest delivery. ah, okay. you're funny then. oh yeah, i shamika just doesn't. you're supposed to feel. i did die. yet out of it. i thought i felt a little bit. how can you get emily? okay, there was a young friend with the young zamora associates. it was very meaningful to have the whole nation listening to the victims and sharing their pain. we succeeded in having that important educational moment. now she so she cannot receive,

it will give me any mess. you know what? geneva, this is unimaginable here. i bow a king. making amends for his father's mistakes. he and wanting the country to move forward. droop, krista, b, i to level, ah, modernizing a country also requires a free press, capable of analyzing strengths and weaknesses, and evaluating political action. comedy shows q, mocking the plan. one of the things that marked the beginning of this rule was the emergence of the independent press to see independent of rulers of the state. they would assume it was a pretty bold press that stood up for social issues and defending personal freedoms . renewal and the rights of minorities heard l g b, t minorities, for example, i knocked for women's rights and so on because it broke to booth spoke good. she put me on any the last few years actually showed signs of positive development.

economy wreck. direct links were shown between the royal dynasty and money on the king's fortune was gradually made public in american business journals. in 2015, forbes magazine estimated it to be at $5700000000.00. this marked a fivefold increase in less than 10 years. meanwhile, the moroccan economy was stagnating eh, what you have. yeah. like could next your, we clearly saw the connections between those who manage the royal fortune. and those were running morocco's public, financial, economic, and administrative institutions. you know, it could only got new saturday demarc. they could all cook and that the king's banks were flourishing the expense of the public banks cook her laughter. and it was also clear that there were links between royal assets and states subsidies.

especially in the mar, grab, would fall like houses of cards, was unimaginable in the machine. lisa said, he said he won't have a vote for that in the show, a credit for his iep that don't put people like that. what does she need in a minute? docomo engineer as he did he be, the facade is enough, was iq and good flooded pc to talk. don't see the premium for the 1st time and morocco's history. thousands took to the streets, not only in casablanca and robot, but also in mar, occassion tangier. so and they were not concerned with wage increases, material demands were bred supplied here. now they took to the streets to demand rights and freedoms. people this had never happened before. villa premier for oh, m, anthony, this was a thundercloud. gay. would you be the people were just demanding democracy, cost you the end of corruption law, the end of conflicts of interest until they the end of mixing politics and business and club. but he kick in his upper malagon cookies was at corruption in politics

and public contracting have always harmed the country. uh, sure. and the cost of it in morocco is almost as high as the cost incurred each year to finance the general social security of moroccans. disco venosity to check on the next mechanical. it's a real scourge. don't good. see, dear. i can poor stephanie with an endemic corruption that according to the ins and transparency international amounts to at least 2500000000 dollars each year. lead to more nifty ha lab would assume that the demand wasn't to abolish the monarchy member to end its absolute power was absolute just which isn't isn't down politic kissing. absolutism means the concentration of power in the hands of one person on clemente. so based on that's what the people were protesting against, not the king per se, the thought that k, oh yeah. yeah,

i think it was once consume that he can see in this, and i still people protested against certain practices of his majesty's adviser assailant against certain government members against famous businessman. he, people who have enrich themselves by appropriating resources and holding leading industry positions and business thanks to their connections. i don't was all don't see where they were right to protest against us. says the public is keesa law school, were ye liz? if you see as it could, when we saw the effigies with an octopus in the middle surrounded by the king's advisors, and it was the security general's and rich friends, we all knew what that represented will do the appropriation of authority and wealthier the incestuous marriage between power, and while he did a fortune law, insist you all put what in that he says, ah ours. you said it is like king always stakes his head. lucky there have been

kings who have simply been raised from history. it's part of it. oh, and it's not like a simple election to the diction mohammad. the 6th realised he had to appease his people. on march, the 9th 2011, he addressed the country in a speech. the cs don't it could happen was the set with so c, m, as in the, at the front of the i was amelia, were the men were modest city ha, which as these mom bull much hopeful, clean sin equally a bad. the ha s yes, you will if you saw the and what is jamalia with 10, maria with the front here will be your law. he actually will do well through. don't you see drew the king's response was very wise and intelligent. he was aware of the magnitude of the protests and the problems, and he promised to amend the constitutional me and sure one luck wanted usual good afternoon to permit prism but he made great revolutionary promises. he emphasized

the importance of the socially parliamentary and democratic moroccan monarchy. but with a motel where state affairs are run not by the king but by a responsible government, a government which must be accountable for its actions and responsible guilt gaunt, the dirt to san extra 5 months. after the protests, the king held a referendum for a new american constitution, winning massive, popular support. decidedly more modern than the previous constitution. it opened up a wider range of social and political issues. luckily, did you feel dis ok, the preamble of the constitution already mentioned the equality of men and women and the fight against any kind of discrimination based on race or religion or gender. yo los, this is sex. so see the element ocean meal swollen to, besides the monarchy one, there is now popular sovereignty detail. the king appoints the head of government

from the ranks of the strongest political party, the a label coming that the king is irrevocably constrained by election ballot vote ah, as a neighboring countries. political islam was on the rise in the rocco to after the adoption of the new constitution, the justice and development policy one, the 1st parliamentary elections at the end of november 20 1122. it was no surprise that political islam was able to win the elections. things had gone differently in other countries. in tunisia with been ali and algeria with the generals and in egypt on missouri, their political islam had lost his leading to civil wars and serious human rights violations. yes. in our country i had a government was appointed from their ranks and people had to accept that normally
