Morocco POLITICAL PARTIES The Istiqlal, once a firm supporter of the throne, now follows a reformist program and backs the king on specific measures only; it had no representation in the government from 1963 to 1977. The party was handicapped by factionalism and further weakened by the political neutrality of the UMT after 1963, by the kidnapping and disappearance of Bin Barka in France in 1965, and by other apparent instances of government repression, including the imprisonment of Bin Sadiq in 1967. The USFP took 50 seats; Istiqlal won 48; the Justice and Development Party (PJD) won 42; the National Rally of Independents won 41 seats; the Popular Movement took 27; the National Popular Movement took 18; the Constitutional Union won 16; and 15 other parties were represented. www.nationsencyclopedia.com /Africa/Morocco-POLITICAL-PARTIES.html   (885 words)

WSO| "Greater Morocco" Allal el-Fassi, a historic leader of the Istiqlal party, was the mastermind of these claims. The dropping of these claims to Mauritania and parts of Algeria, which left only the claim to Western Sahara, was strongly resented by the Istiqlal party and the succesor of the PCM, the Parti de Liberation et du Socialisme. Morocco believed that, in Western Sahara, self-determination would lead to integration with Morocco; but when, in 1974, this appeared not to be likely, the Moroccan government abandoned its commitment to self-determination and once again asserted its right to direct annexation. www.wsahara.net /gmorocco.html   (572 words)

A democratic transition in Morocco? This Makhzen party won as many seats as the Istiqlal, which appeared to be the main losers in the election. However the Istiqlal’s stable voting base, the standing of its leadership and its legitimacy means that it continues to have a negotiating capacity - put to good use while the present government was being set up, with Mr Youssoufi keen to have it on board (7). The first nine months of a government headed by a social democratic prime minister who finds himself running an alternating coalition that accords with the wishes of the monarchy are more valuable for having established a working method and an opening to the future, than for the results it achieves. mondediplo.com /1998/12/06maroc   (4287 words)

The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today Muchtar Nasir, the Grand Imam of Istiqlal Mosque, who passed away on Monday evening after being treated for stroke at the Gatot Subroto Army Hospital, was known for his moderate and nationalist views and maintained pluralism, even among Islamic groups. Nasir, who is survived by four daughters, one son, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, was installed as the Grand Imam of Istiqlal Mosque by former president Soeharto on Feb. 15, 1985. According to Nasir, Clinton once expressed his curiosity as to why the mosque was built directly opposite the Catholic Cathedral; the Imam replied by explaining the plurality of the nation, in terms of ethnicity, language and religion. www.thejakartapost.com /yesterdaydetail.asp?fileid=20040331.C04   (430 words)

Palestinian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Conflict between Palestinian nationalists and various types of pan-Arabists continued during the British Mandate, but the latter became increasingly marginalised. By 1937, only one of the many Arab political parties in Palestine (the Istiqlal party) promoted political absorption into a greater Arab nation as its main agenda. Originally the normal headgear of Palestinian peasants, the keffiyeh, worn here by Yasser Arafat, first came to symbolize Palestinian nationalism during the British Mandate period. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Palestinian   (2076 words)

10-10-2003, Indonesia Addressing the gathered crowd of over 100,000 attendees in Masjid Istiqlal, Shaykh Hisham spoke on the importance of holding fast to Islam's principles of peace, tolerance and non-violence. Shaykh Kabbani has always laid emphasis on the importance of classical Islamic observance, and was thus pleased to see that the religious recitation of traditional Sufi dhikr is becoming extremely popular throughout Indonesia.

Pravda.RU:Three Political Scenarios for Morocco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) However, scenario two would be Istiqlal breaking away from the Socialists and trying to form a new coalition with the Islamic Party, Party for Justice and Development, which saw its seats in Parliament rise meteorically in last weekend’s election. Istiqlal’s leader Abbes al-Fassi has already declared that a continuation of the government coalition means a continuation of the crisis and he would be well positioned to be Prime Minister in a nationalist-Islamic coalition. Finally, the third scenario would be a broad coalition of the socialists with the other parties from the previous coalition, and other centre parties such as the geographically rural and ethnically Berber-based Popular Movement (MP). english.pravda.ru /main/2002/10/02/37579_.html   (180 words)
