[edit] Contributions

I removed these sentences because they are not based on facts:

  • "After this, tensions slowly cooled down, aided by the king's newfound nationalist credentials in claiming Western Sahara in 1975." was removed because Moroccan claims on Western Sahara date back to 1956 and have nothing to do with the military coups. Tensions with the opposition did not cool down neither. They even culminated in 1973 and 1981.
  • "and saw many thousands of dissidents", hundreds sounds more realistic, especially in the light of the findings of the truth and reconciliation commission.
  • " after pressure from the United States". The US has been a close ally to Morocco, how come they did not pressure Morocco before 1991. The pressure from the US is baseless.
  • Added to his merits the Alternance.

Note that this article says that King Hassan II was born in 1929 and married in 1926

The sentence means that Sultan Mohammed V married Lalla Abla in 1926, and begot Hassan II in 1929.--A Jalil 21:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
