last bernezi came at lowly bolcom and was sliding towards another defeat. after a very special go, dominique call completed mine's his tribe in style and said the visitors spoke to a while like sega stuck in 5th, 2 points of a champions league spot if just 8 gigs left. that is your news update up as our thanks so much for watching. stay tuned for a d. w documentary coming up next. it assesses more than 2 decades of absolute power held by came off of rocco is more to on our website at d w dot com. i'm claire richardson. thanks for joining us. ah, i, what people have to say matters to us. ah.

that's why we listen to their stories. sh reporter. every weekend on d w. 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 residents. here to be mad with remarked nipple gall morocco is not yet a real democracy. morocco is on the road to democracy, elected. you remember who governs maroka? 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 rose. 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 mohammed, the 6th is the 23rd king of the underwood dynasty,

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 with 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, her son, the 2nd. ah, less familiar to the people, the king's son, a bd. and he learned the rules of the monarchy. rameses damaged. therefore because mohammed the 6th was a mystery to many people nearby mazique. he was always in the shadow of his father

that is due to them when us, but they accepted him oak because moroccans fully support the monarchy. a boot camp is every so often political or economic decisions a challenge to them. but the monarchy remains at the heart of moroccan politics. we seek malcolm, it, i'm going to shoot in a continued the monarchy means continuity. so no harm at the 5th half on the 2nd mohammed, the 6th, and on it goes the switching it. i'm not gonna share that with the allah. with monarchy has been the longest so far because it's rulers know how to respond to the people and be muddled by them. he's for, for a me get some questions 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. oh, 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 to a new proposal, new zone with some new born with king hassan. the 2nd we grew up with him or hasn't do it, he was a king with a very strong personality and who carried the country through a very difficult and sydney inferior to now history. he left a strong mark on the country and its people that were marquis o cindy sees it every one dreaded his son's death because everyone wanted what would happen next to what he did. sidney avenue, he knows how to suit. omar o m. m, rocky mon, july 30th 1999 king mohammed the 6th was crowned mammoths . he thought he install a trone mohammed. the 6th ascended the throne with a clear conscience. you know, he had not imprisoned or tortured any one's argon. he had not taken

a stand on any sensitive issue. if you shoot a link or the moroccan people who regard the monarchy as a symbol of the countries stability. he embodied new hopi guzman. this beauty see men, she stadium for city, marsh, papoulias. he was considered the king of the pool from the beginning to move a king who was close to the people who went out on the streets and grated people. when you had his picture taken with them of it could not you have this created this image of a modern king, which i think reflected his personality. 40 corresponding mitchell hawking definite . ah women. nepa mohammed, the 6th isn't a great orator, hopeless. he prefers direct contact with the people interaction with the population loc reasons. surely tara lengthy or this was evident, right at the beginning of his rance is where ye, oh, did you? when 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 free in pop up the cubed city . they consider as soon as it was a process with the countries with more with all morocco. no, not just the aristocrats all the time, but people who come from the bottom yet the very, very bottom you could feel he was sincere and that made people hopefully cur, good as well to suffer behind. and we're done. and all this may seem trivial as it's not about big politics or major decisions so, such as, but it created a new style, a new way of governing me. and yet it was a different kind of monarchy and wanna a monarchy in touch with the times could a vic of ex model 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 in a muslim 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 women or appeal was to her. was the hardy when he sat will let you sir? killers will her, on his way through that almost ali, whom she already more at in the moment. helen, the dean honey from hawk wound that be how chicago region to dallas, missouri who can come from martin new sante, mont, we moroccan women felt that our position had greatly improved because his majesty demonstrated real political motivation to empower women so much. you step upon roha

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 rabbits. no good to de la femme family law was deeply discriminatory from it. it considered women inferior to men, and they were required to obey their husbands because they were financially dependent on them. or maria, did they me no miners were married off, and men could disown their wives at any time and both get more on them, but to come. who knows? you don't long dissolve. is all men and women, old and young at the protest vision? for me, this sent an extremely important message because until then there had been an

assumption that only westernized radical feminists cared about these issues. but after that day, so it became a general question of democracy and human rights. similar tactic. took a storm that was a turning point and while said picking up ju oh, but they're also conservative forces. that same day, a county demonstration was organized and casablanca, the economic metropolis of the country. the vast majority of the participants were islamists sympathizes. do so many beth and so so means that only the organ is at the home of the flu. dalia who together block up in video that the most i sort of fall in 1st. oh, see difficulty. feminine de la did is you don't use that you left on the, on the suit. i put it in except up what he but he's, it is as us yes me since may is a misuse. dunaway though with the organization of the martin casa blanca, reflected what we are about a new idea. when do you?

a men walked on one side. we'll credit the women on the other end us while the land itself demands were clear. oh no changes to family longer and will the one i know to the application of western ideas and moroccan society. bah, ah, to be or is kathy ha and, and worcester, my alamahood 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. he ivy and the fancier the king had a sincere desire for modernity or see,

but at the same time he was also head of the faithful client. in other words, the countries, religious and spiritual leader, liza dee duper, was the root of morocco's power, lies in its religious legitimacy fee. and the case is given power because it is status as a descendant of the prophet qu, blue wap bits. yet there war ak unit because he cannot make rules according to his personal preferences or whimsically felicitous when who should own. so new mil ah, the king's new progressive 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 an elected parliament with wow, 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. well,

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 miss struck thea into the house of casablanca city, and shook 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 a division morgan. 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 mock wrap in. the massage would you would have been a den mooney sony is until 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, a medicare, that shirt and fin, since the attacks of september 11th 2001 in the usa. the kingdom of morocco has unconditionally joined international efforts to promote with them. because morocco 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 in looked

at the cut sets were happy. okay. well, i mean that anyhow, yet as amended to sir would feel worse at him and your stuff. he would want a democrat, your silly name, insult that he'd dolah omen. you would always wanna have karen chuck. he looked horrible on hospitality. so it is that i swear to heal up with them, which would fit no. a p is that on to the, to me, what you and the school way after the 2003 attacks, the king made a rather harsh speech. clearly announcing the state's new tough response dealer to letter. this was followed by a series of arrestees, the likes of which the country had never seen before, that you can as m a t v q upper level sonya covered wash allison. but the arrests made after the bloody attacks in casablanca were perfectly legal about, i don't, these people were members of terrorist cells that we dismantled like our fillet up your honey html code that were adding up. soon only shift give is if today and

according to the unofficial figures that were circulating at the time between 3010000 people were said to have been arrested fun. i had a book, one of 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. a pretty good idea, he thought yellowstone tenderly ah, the king was then in a strong position to pass laws that were placed to his heart. first and foremost was the reformer. family knew. 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 majority jupiter marika luke. if i had to lean 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, but why is let me get back to you because it was accused of having laid the ideological ground for terrorism at 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 cannot allow for me to consider them in until then women were considered subordinate to men, but even in the home 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 open 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 hockey, no caught that we have an institution that protects us moroccan women see the king as their ally in asserting their rights. ah,

and now the great achievement of mohammed, this 6, 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. if i seen it from wiping, it was an extremely intelligent and wise way to tackle such a sensitive subject in unconquered why he made it very clear. ality my father arrested a tortured and imprisoned doesn't z hundreds, thousands of opposition. member ye do pusan in y as his son. want to reconcile this part of morocco's past and break that taboo tomorrow and finally put that problem to rest that tab. you fool kerrville absi. in the early 19 seventy's, 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 or botton these the nuclear, they are called the years of lead or the black years a mum. it was the height of systematic oppression. timothy hassan, the 2nd did not or back her has. and due to the father 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 will. as e nie contact from you, yet you have no contact with family or lawyers. charles, there were no charges, no trial, absolutely nothing up for tomorrow. 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 duleigh true enough for the victims of her son? the 2nd, the truth commissioned 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. left of him. oh, i didn't go ill, young paula? re ah, okay, careful, honey. then am i going shamika just touch on your score. so here again, thank you. know it. i thought i shall. little bit has a year. didn't really. okay. that was a young friend with the yeah. oh so more it's not yes, it was very meaningful to have the whole nation listening to the victims and sharing their pains. we succeeded in having that important educational moment now.

but about the fact that the royal fortune was very closely linked to the moroccan economy. rec, direct links were shown between the royal dynasty and money on the king's fortune was gradually made public in american business journals. but in 2015, forbes magazine estimated it to be at $5700000000.00. this marked a fivefold increase in less than 10 years. meanwhile than the ra can economy was stagnating and what you have. yeah, lee couldn't ex, 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 be amused latifah tomorrow they could all cook and that the king's banks were flourishing what the expense of the public banks. good luck last june. it was also clear that there were links between royal assets and states subsidies. these

novelties public dispute vol. show public notion law look was always the people in power aren't the only ones getting richer, real good. but if you go, they are also enriching. a political clientele, he does yet as creating a base that supports and strengthens its political power. all super. what would you say? it's logical both politically and economically, where the chic, good economic. as in neighboring countries, the people rose up against the accumulation of wealth by minority the arab spring, which shook up the world. in december 2010, continued in the rock. in february 2011 young people throughout the country took to the streets to denounce the kingdoms rampant corruption. if he double the plant up a little more clearly the arab spring took every one by surprise. nobody saw it

come and sheltered you might get the idea that these regimes, especially in the ma, grab, would fall like houses of cards, was unimaginable in the machine. lisa said, he said he won't, ha ha, but looking probably into, shall i play that for you? did is it that don't put people like that with her? she leading. i mean at docomo in janice as he did he by the facade is enough, was he can good flooded, defeated, tonton, filipino, for the 1st time in morocco's history, thousands took to the streets not only in casa blanca and robot, but also in mar, occassion, tangier, and they were not concerned with wage increases, material demands were bred supplied at it. now they took to the streets to demand rights and freedoms. people. this had never happened before. phillip on your phone . oh. c yeah, more money. this was a thunder quantity of would you give the people were just demanding democracy cars you the end of corruption law, the end of conflicts of interest and delay the end of mixing politics and business

one's going to the can see in this, and i still people protested against certain practices of his majesty's adviser assailant against certain government members against famous businessmen. he, people who have enrich themselves by appropriating resources and holding leading industry positions and business thanks to their connections. not was all thanks you live. they were right to protest against us. sir john de patrick is keesa law school. will 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 in security, generals, and rich friends, we all knew what that represented, or to the appropriation of authority and wealthier the incestuous marriage between power. and while he did a fortune room, yes, it is true. oh, put what he says. ah, ours. you said that this is

a king always stakes his head. lucky there have been kings who have simply been raised from history. it's part of it. oh, it's not like a simple election. sure. the dixon mohammed, the 6th, realised he had to appease his people. on march, the 9th 2011, he had traced the country in a speech. so cs daughter could happen was to set with o. c. m. as in her, yet the foot of the i was amelia, were the men were modest city? ha, what's as these mom bull much hopeful, clean sin. equally a bad. the ha, it's yes you will. if you saw the young lady shimaya with 10, maria with the front here will be ja la. 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 constitution me and sure one luck wanted usual good afternoon to permit prism for 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. you don't count the da da. so next, yo, 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 ross, this is sex. so see the element ocean mil 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 the julia collision, there a 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

as chivalry. animal basically called morocco had to show that it had chosen democracy. a few of us. pretty sure democracy can well he doc loop, usually like cabinet. the p j. d marked a new beginning for many puzzle. they assumed the islamist party was righteous the court and said to themselves, go to, we've never tried these people before is let me, they are probably not corrupt. our research. i me say ye goverlan we don't back all too often are more or you saw i, they one over many people who were desperate to believe in change ivy absolutely mean i voted for them. wow. although my political beliefs are usually much further to the left of the nolan wanted you because i gusher on the corner. so pretty cheap, but at that time yeah, yeah. but if we wanted anything but the past and phone never bought quo sof rebutting. meanwhile, the king continued with major construction projects to renew morocco's
