	Hassan II of Morocco Summary
		Hassan II kept the support of the bourgeoisie by encouraging the formation of political parties, but at the same time he limited their power and fostered internal divisions within the organizations.
		He modernized and democratized Morocco as rapidly as was feasible under the political and social unrest fostered by extreme Islamic fundamentalist propaganda and the armed terrorism of Hamas inspired groups.
		Although king Hassan II had restored many parliamentary functions by the early nineties and released hundreds of political prisoners in 1991 after pressure from the United States, the "years of lead" ended definitely only with the taking of the throne by his son Mohammed VI in 1999.

	Hassan 2
		Hassan was the oldest son of the former king, Muhammad 5, and father of the present king, Muhammad 6.
		Much of Hassan's success on home ground, especially confronting the Islamists, rested in his family's claim to be sharifs; descendants of Muhammad, a claim that was widely accepted in Morocco as well as abroad.
		Morocco, at the time of Hassan's death, suffered from high unemployment, an educational system that did not meet the needs of the Moroccan society, an unresolved situation in Western Sahara, and strong tensions within the population.

	MOROCCO IN TRANSITION
		Morocco’s economic problems are many and include a huge foreign debt, a growing population, two-thirds of whom are under the age of 25, an unemployment rate conservatively estimated at 25 percent, and years of recurring drought.
		Hassan II recognized women’s key role in the political arena when he said that it was women and intellectuals (apparently mutually exclusive categories) who were the bulwarks against the spread of the Islamist movement in Morocco.
		Hassan II had argued that all Western Saharans be allowed to participate, including those who participated in or were descendants of those involved in the Green March. Additional debate has centered on the question of who among the Saharawis should be able to participate in the referendum.

	King Hassan II - creator of modern Morocco. - Encyclopedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Yet, Hassan II, King and ~Prince of the Faithful', whose family has ruled Morocco for over three centuries, has transformed his country from an illiterate and backward land, at the time of independence in 1956, to a modern twentieth century nation - and this has been accomplished without destroying the people's pride in their past.
		The first time I travelled to Morocco in the early 1960s, a visitor could walk the streets of the country's major cities and if he saw an unveiled woman, she was likely to be a European.
		The fact that Morocco was never truly colonised, that Islam in the country is tempered by regional sensibilities, and that the King has the power to appoint religious officials, has kept Muslim fundamentalism, which is sweeping through many Islamic countries, at bay.

	Washingtonpost.com: Morocco's King Hassan II Dead at 70
		King Hassan II of Morocco, a sage and worldly Muslim leader who played a peacemaker's role in the Middle East and outfoxed plotters in several coup attempts while ruling his North African realm with an iron fist, died yesterday after entering a Rabat hospital suffering from pneumonia.
		The best-known contrast, perhaps, was Hassan's claim to have special responsibility for preserving the Islamic character of Jerusalem — commander of the faithful was one of his titles — while at the same time maintaining discreet relations with Israel and cultivating Morocco's own Jewish inhabitants throughout his reign.
		Shortly after taking over from his father, Hassan took one of the risks he was to become famous for, seeking to end a desert war with Morocco's eastern neighbor, Algeria.

	Eric Margolis \| Foreign Correspondent : FUNERAL IN MOROCCO
		Hassan was ‘a great democratic leader,’ a man whose ‘firm grip led his people to prosperity and security,’ who ‘worked incessantly for Mideast pace,’ and maintained a ‘stable, moderate Islamic nation.’ There were tears aplenty as western democratic leaders, including Emoter-in-Chief, Bill Clinton, vied to laud their dear friend, the good and kindly King Hassan.
		Hassan was indeed a great friend to western interests, but he, like so many other rulers of Arab and Muslim nations, was no friend of his own people.
		Morocco guarded the northern flank of France’s neocolonial possessions in fl Africa and was a bastion against the spread of militant political Islam.

		By JOSEPH R. ing Hassan II, who ruled Morocco for 38 years, acted as a go-between in Egyptian-Israeli efforts to make peace and prolonged the life of his 300-year-old dynasty in an era when monarchies in Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Iran fell to socialist revolutions or the force of militant Islam, died Friday in Rabat.

	"Morocco After Hassan II" (September 2000)
		Morocco badly needs economic reforms to defuse the ticking social time-bomb created by unemployment and wretched living conditions for millions of people, as well as laws that improve the level of foreign investment, decrease the influence of bureaucracy, and improve the deficient educational system, etc.
		King Hassan II once said that Morocco was "a tree with its roots in Africa and its branches in Europe." Geographically speaking, Morocco sits on the fringes of Africa, Europe and the Arab World.
		This situation poisoned the relations of Morocco with neighboring Algeria, which, because of a similar (albeit competing) strong nationalistic identity, was the main supporter of the POLISARIO front (the movement which advocated the independence of Western Sahara).
