Makhzen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Makhzen is a Moroccan Arabic term for the governing elite in Morocco, centered around the king and consisting of royal notables, businessmen, wealthy landowners, tribal leaders, top-ranking military personnel, security service bosses, and other well-connected members of the establishment. The word "makhzen" literally means "warehouse" but has long been used in Moroccan Arabic to refer to the elite. While the contours of the Makhzen are vague, the government itself is generally not considered part of it. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Makhzen   (476 words)

Articles: Exchange of Notes Between France and Morocco, August 14-December 25, 1909 - Historical Text Archive The Makhzen shall designate without delay a Shereefian High Commissioner and confer upon him the powers necessary to exercise his attributions, particularly, the right to propose, after preliminary agreement with the French High Commissioner, the appointment and the removal of the ca‹ds and other Moroccan officials. While thus respecting the wishes of the Makhzen regarding his sovereign authority, it will be necessary to reserve exclusively to the French delegate all administrative powers necessary for him to insure the regularity of the administration of these revenues and to enable him to fully secure the bondholders and the French Government. Regarding the new taxes which the Makhzen might establish in the harbors, their product would be deposited in the Shereefian treasury and would be included neither in the guarantees, nor in the control. www.historicaltextarchive.com /sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=8   (2895 words)

A democratic transition in Morocco?, by Rémy Leveau   (Site not responding. Last check: ) This Makhzen party won as many seats as the Istiqlal, which appeared to be the main losers in the election. Strong ideological positions are being abandoned and the government’s margins of influence have their basis in the project of modernising the Makhzen, which may then possibly lead to a rationalisation of the functioning of the state and a real democratisation. Historically, the Makhzen also meant the territory administered by the monarch, as opposed to the bled siba, which was territory outside the control of the central administration. mondediplo.com /1998/12/06maroc   (4295 words)

Middle East Report 218: Networks of Discontent in Northern Morocco: Drugs, Opposition and Urban Unrest, by James ... Beyond these basic requirements, a king's servant, from the highest to the lowest levels of the state hierarchy, is left to operate his sector of the public domain like a personal fiefdom. A divorced woman may have to share her children's allowances with a court clerk whose cooperation is necessary to enforce verdicts. Since the makhzen allocated these parties representation by quotas to maintain a certain balance in the parliament and the municipalities, it is difficult to assess the parties' real strength. www.merip.org /mer/mer218/218_maghraoui.html   (4913 words)

Western Sahara - Sahara Occidental - On another hand, the UPES condemns the cowardly use of the name of Saharawis, employed here by a group of renegades, and recalls that the Saharawi people is and remains a free nation, which supports and firmly believe in the freedom of expression, movement and opinion of all individuals. El Makhzen ha ido esta vez más lejos, manejando a sus marionetas a través de algunos supuestos periódicos, que han descrito al periodista como "un mercenario dispuesto a aliarse "al diablo" si esto "molestara" a su "patria". Le zèle a même poussé le Makhzen, qui active ces marionnettes par journaux marocains interposés, à qualifier ce journaliste indépendant de "mercenaire prêt à s'allier avec le "diable" pourvu que cela puisse "nuire" à "son pays natal"...". www.arso.org /UPES010205.htm   (778 words)

DU MAKHZEN PÛR AU MAKHZEN À VISAGE DÉCAFÉINÉ Le makhzen œuvre donc dans la stabilité et la continuité et de ce fait il marque sa volonté de ne pas rompre avec le passé. En effet, en 1972 le makhzen a repris le dialogue politique avec l’opposition de la gauche officielle, interrompu par la dissolution brutale du parlement en juillet 1965. Il n’était  nullement question de scier les branches de l’esprit makhzen puisqu’il entendait s’y installer lui-même. Ses  pratiques qui sont aux antipodes des anciennes leçons de ses dirigeants sur la démocratie ainsi que  sa collaboration avec le pouvoir le jettent aujourd’hui dans la décharge de l’Histoire. elwassouli01.chez.tiscali.fr /DEBAT/MAKHZEN.htm   (4070 words)

Deux stratégies pour le changement démocratique La stratégie de compromis avec le makhzen a été théorisée de la manière suivante : au Maroc, coexistent deux légitimités (celles du makhzen et celle du mouvement national) se reconnaissant et se respectant mutuellement. Nous savons que cette stratégie a servi les intérêts du makhzen et des classes dominantes qui ont pu renforcer leur domination alors que l’écrasante majorité du peuple, dont de larges couches au sein  des classes moyennes, subissaient une répression et un appauvrissement sans précédant. Dans ces analyses, le makhzen, en tant que structure de pouvoir qui s’est infiltrée par tous les pores de notre société et a renforcé son emprise sur le pays, s’est, comme par enchantement, évanoui. elwassouli01.chez.tiscali.fr /DEBAT/changement1001.htm   (908 words)

Al Akhbar Us The flag of the Khaliph of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco was used from 11th October 1945 till the independence of Morocco, 28th March 1956. Though the star is reminiscent of the shield of David, the word Makhzen has nothing to do with magen or mogen (Hebrew for shield). The Makhzen is the name given in Morocco to the central administration together with the Sultan's governmental suite. www.alakhbar-usa.com /aloumaal3arabia/morocco_flag.html   (733 words)

IKV - De politieke situatie in Marokko - Interkerkelijk Vredesberaad Nog steeds ligt de werkelijke macht in belangrijke mate niet bij de regering, maar bij de Makhzen (de koning en het paleis) De vrouwenrechten, ter discussie in 2000 toen er vergaande voorstellen voor wetswijziging lagen maar onder druk van de islamitische beweging werden ingetrokken, zijn niet verbeterd. Wel is de stemgerechtigde leeftijd verlaagd van 20 naar 18 en zijn er maatregelen genomen om meer vrouwen in het parlement te krijgen. De PJD heeft er in elk geval voor gekozen niet in alle districten kandidaten te stellen en daarmee vrijwillig het aantal zetels beperkt. www.ikv.nl /detail_page.phtml?know_id=2234&username=gast@ikv.nl&password=9999&username=gast@ikv.nl&password=9999&groups=IKV   (1232 words)

SAHARA PRESSE SERVICE   (Site not responding. Last check: ) The latter, it seems, did not respect the guidelines of the Makhzen (the Moroccan elite). These accusations were the result of his publishing of articles and caricatures, which may have offended some high officials of the Makhzen, in his magazines. Mr.Lemrabet, still maintaining his position, rejected "these dictatorial tactics, which are typical of a system that has the habit of using all means in its possession to humiliate, degrade and belittle the dignity of persons who do not accept submission to it". www.spsrasd.info /sps-e280403.html   (332 words)

Memorandumto him who is concerned - Morocco - Islamists - MAROC: Mémorandum à qui de droit - par Abd ... The Makhzen machinery, which organised the funeral of the late Hassan II, plays a full role to present to the crowd overcome with cheers a young man having great presence, smiling and gesturing benevolently to the warm welcome of the public. It helplessly endeavours to adorn the time where Hassan's "demoncracy" swore that the elections had never been falsified, that the government of the country was done with devotion and loyalty and that "l'alternance consensuelle" (the alleged consensual changeover of political power) was and still is an appreciable asset highly advocated by democracy. May God forgive the "man" the ritual of the Makhzen Baï'a, which enjoined the dignitaries of the kingdom to prostrate themselves five times before the human idol in the commotion of the red-tarbooshed servants busy aligning the ranks of worshippers. www.abbc2.com /yassine/meng.htm   (12225 words)

[No title] Or, en prenant cette décision, le Makhzen, dont les dits Ministère et Institut ne sont que des instruments, n'a aucunement pour objectif d'émanciper et de promouvoir la langue amazighe. En faisant semblant de satisfaire les revendications, légitimes, du Mouvement Culturel Amazighe, le Makhzen cherche à gagner encore du temps en cantonnant l'Amazighité dans une "réserve dialectale", en attendant, et en préparant, son extinction. Le Makhzen a sans doute pu tromper presque tous les Imazighens pour quelque temps, il peut encore tromper quelques Imazighens pour longtemps, mais il ne peut aucunement tromper tous les Imazighens pour tout le temps! membres.lycos.fr /tawizaneghmis/Tawiza77/Tada.htm   (389 words)

Nadia Yassine Web Site The Makhzen, for lack of giving a real alternative, has given us a new code of personal status which is more a fictional law than anything else. The Makhzen has given us new security forces that remind us of the story of those people who went to meet with their cruel ruler to complain about his elephant that wrecked their crops. If only the female chromosomes of our policewomen could urge them to feel sympathy for the citizens and stop the policemen from fleecing them not for road security reasons, but for the security of their own future that is uncertain (well, it’s just a figure of speech). www.nadiayassine.net /en/page/11411.htm   (605 words)

Errachidia!Forum : la communauté de la région d'Errachidia discute Si le Makhzen realise ces revendications nous commencerons a parler d'un Maroc pluriel et democratique. Le makhzen a tout fait depuis l'independance pour rendre l'etre amazigh un sujet de seconde zone, un arrieré, un analphabete, au point que bon nombre des amazighs ont honte de parler leur langue maternelle et d'afficher leur identité amazigh. D'un coté le Makhzen veut contenir le mouvement revendicatif amazigh grandissant en epousant cette cause qui devient alors sacrée puisque elle acquiert une dimension makhzeniene. www.errachidia.org /forum/read_mess.php?id=998   (2988 words)

afrol News - What is rotten in the Kingdom of Morocco? Moroccans observe that much of the new wealth created has remained with the so-called 'Makhzen' — the businessmen and generals who constitute the 'power behind the throne' and which is generally perceived as the conservative and corrupt class traditionally controlling Morocco's politics and economy. As the Moroccan government rapidly is manoeuvring itself into a corner among its own population and in the international community, the question of "What went wrong with Mohammed's reform agenda" remains. A large-scale corruption investigation also exposed that the breadth of the 'Makhzen' elite - from trade union to political and business leaders - were involved in dubious economic affairs. www.afrol.com /articles/10331   (1705 words)

Nadia Yassine Web Site So long as the Makhzen [Moroccan-born appellation of the Moroccan regime] is none but a docile servant of the global regimes, the contacts you have imagined do not exist even though the Makhzen dreams of incorporating JSA – a dream that will never come true. Yet it was the Makhzen that actually changed the essence of their participation and exploited them even worse than the other parties. That is a victory for the Makhzen according to the global view of political participation. www.nadiayassine.net /en/page/10513.htm   (4921 words)

MEI: Letter from Casablanca The architect of that plan is Amyn Alami, an investment banker who is also the chief visionary behind the remodelling of Casablanca. The old makhzen of Hassan II was drawn from aristocratic families from Fez. His son’s new makhzen, while it includes some of the sons of the above, has been enlarged to include globalization-friendly businesspeople and technocrats with extensive international experience. meionline.com /backcover/357.shtml   (707 words)

Maroc : l'appel au secours ? ; par Moustapha Kharmoudi Mais le Makhzen reste la pièce maîtresse de la réalité du pouvoir au Maroc : l'Armée, la Police et les autres institutions, des plus transparentes - s'il en est - aux plus mafieuses, ne comptent pas céder sur l'essentiel de leur puissance. Et c'est pour cela que le Makhzen est bien le principal obstacle à toute évolu-tion démocratique dans les conditions actuelles. Le Makhzen se réjouit de cette déliquescence : il n'y a qu'à entendre le nostalgi-que Basri déverser son venin. www.ecrits-vains.com /rives_francophonie/kharmoudi.html   (1501 words)

Western Sahara - Sahara Occidental The Moroccan establishment or Makhzen is present in all decision-making apparatus and the only benefactor of the actual situation. It sometimes quotes a decision-making individuals or organizations, the source a punch of Moroccan state controlled newspapers and the scope of their attacks and tergiversations is shaped by the developments regarding the Western Sahara issue. The lack of objectivity in their news coverage and their way of making news comply with Makhzen demands, is unfair and wrong, especially considering the efforts of other Moroccan journalists to introduce necessary reforms. www.arso.org /opinions/MSN2003.htm   (1818 words)

Morocco: the point of change, by Ignacio Ramonet The makhzen is a political and administrative structure that forms the basis for power in Morocco, which includes submission, rituals and traditional ceremonies. It is a specific form of authority that is present throughout the governing class with the king as its linchpin. This absolute power is aggravated by the pseudo-function of [the king as] ’representative of God on earth’, which has been instituted and handed down by generations of oriental despots but has no real religious or legal basis. mondediplo.com /2000/07/01ramonet   (4624 words)

Untitled Document Dans ce domaine, le Makhzen de Mohammed VI s’inscrit dans la continuité. Car l’expérience de l’Alternance a montré que dans la logique des “petits pas”, l’ USFP y a perdu son âme.

Western Sahara - Sahara Occidental - opinion The Makhzen - in its concerted campaign of misinformation to deceive the world community - was in search for a humanitarian organization denigrating Polisario to use as reference, and found it on France-Libertés.
