Hassan II of Morocco
Hassan II of Morocco
He was named crown prince in 1957 and was the first commander-in-chief of
the Royal Armed Forces. He was enthroned as king in 1961 following his
father's death. His reign was marked by the start of the Western Sahara conflict
and the Sand War, as well as two failed coup attempts against him in 1971 and
in 1972. Hassan's conservative approach reportedly strengthened his rule over
Morocco and the Western Sahara.[1] He was accused of authoritarian practices,
as well as human rights and civil rights abuses, particularly during the Years of
Lead. A truth commission was set up after his death to investigate allegations of
human rights violations during his reign.
Prince Hassan acted as his father's political advisor during their exile. They returned
to Morocco on 16 November 1955.[4][24] He participated with his father in the
February 1956 negotiations for Moroccan independence.[4] Following Morocco's
independence from France, his father named him commander-in-chief of the newly
founded Royal Moroccan Armed Forces in April 1956.[4] The same year, he led army
contingents to victory after defeating rebel militias during the Rif revolt.[25] It was
during his tenure as commander-in-chief that he met General Mohamed
Oufkir,[26][27][4] who became Minister of Defense during his reign.[28] Oufkir would
later suspected of orchestrating a failed coup d'état to kill Hassan in 1972.[29]
After Mohammed V changed the title of the Moroccan sovereign from Sultan to King
in 1957, Hassan was proclaimed Crown Prince on 9 July 1957.[30][31] In this position,
he was the president of the organising committee of the International Meeting at the
monastery of Toumliline in 1957 and gave a welcome speech.[32]                               Hassan II and his father Sultan

Reign
Hassan ascended the throne on 26 February 1961 on his father's death.[4][5][33] His enthronement took place at the Royal Palace of
Rabat on 3 March 1961, and he also inherited the position of prime minister.[10][4]
Domestic policy
In 1962, Hassan and his aides wrote Morocco's first constitution, defining the kingdom as a social and democratic constitutional
monarchy, making Islam the state religion, and creating the title of Amir al-Mu'minin and "supreme representative of the nation"
for the king, whose person was defined as "inviolable and sacred". The constitution also reaffirmed a multi-party political system,
the only one which existed in the Maghreb at that time.[34][5] The constitution provoked strong political protest from the UNFP
and the Istiqlal and other leftist parties that formed the opposition at the time.[35]
                                            Hassan's reign was infamous for a poor human rights record labeled as "appalling" by
                                            the BBC.[36] It was, however, at its worst during the period from the 1960s to the late
                                            1980s, which was labelled as the "years of lead"[37][38] and saw thousands of
                                            dissidents jailed, killed, exiled or forcibly disappeared. The country would only
                                            become relatively freer by the early 1990s under strong international pressure and
                                            condemnation over its human rights record. Since then, Morocco's human rights
                                            record has improved modestly and improved significantly during the reign of Hassan's
                                            successor Mohammed VI. In 2004, the Equity and Reconciliation Commission was
                                            created by Mohammed to investigate human rights abuses during his father's

to Friday prayer in Marrakesh, 1966
                                             Hassan imprisoned many members of the National Union of Popular Forces and
                                             sentenced some party leaders, including Mehdi Ben Barka, to death.[5] A series of
student protests began on 21 March 1965 in Casablanca, and devolved into general riots the following day; the resulting violent
repression led to hundreds of deaths. In the aftermath, on 26 March, Hassan gave a speech that he concluded with: "There is no
greater danger to a country than a so-called intellectual; it would have been better if you had all been illiterate."[5][41][42]
In June, he dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution of 1962, declaring a state of exception that would last more than
five years, in which he ruled Morocco directly; however, he did not completely abolish the mechanisms of parliamentary
democracy.[43][44][5] An alleged report from the U.S. Secretary of State claimed that, during this period, "Hassan [appeared]
obsessed with the preservation of his power rather than with its application toward the resolution of Morocco's multiplying
domestic problems."[35]
In October 1965, Mehdi Ben Barka, a key political opponent and fierce critic of Hassan, was kidnapped and disappeared in
Paris.[5] In Rise and Kill First, Ronen Bergman points to cooperation between the Moroccan authorities and Israel's Mossad in
locating Ben Barka.[45]
In 1990, following riots in Fez, Hassan set up the Consultative Human Rights Council to look into allegations of abuse by the
State.[46] In 1991, he pardoned two thousand prisoners, including political prisoners and people held in secret prisons including in
Tazmamart.[47] In 1998, the first opposition-led government was elected.[48]
During his reign, Morocco was labeled as "partly free" by Freedom House, except for a "not free" ranking in 1992.[49]
On 16 August 1972, during a second coup attempt, six F-5 military jets from the Royal Moroccan Air Force opened fire on the
king's Boeing 727 while flying at a 3 km (1.9 mi) altitude over Tétouan on the way to Rabat from Barcelona,[55][56] killing eight
people on board and injuring fifty. A bullet hit the fuselage but they failed to take the plane down despite it being badly
damaged.[57][58][5] The military jets were loaded with practice ammunition rather than missiles, severely impacting the coup's
effectiveness.[59] Hassan hurried to the cockpit, took control of the radio, and reportedly shouted: "Stop firing, the tyrant is
dead!";[59][60][4] however, conflicting reports state that he posed as a mechanic and stated that both pilots died and the king was
badly injured, convincing the pilots to stop.[57][55]
220 members of the Air Force were arrested for partaking in the coup plot, 177 of whom were
acquitted, 32 were found guilty, and 11 people were sentenced to death by a military
tribunal.[61][62] After making an emergency landing at Rabat–Salé International Airport, Hassan
escaped to his palace in Shkirat in an unmarked car.[50] Mohamed Amekrane, a colonel
suspected to be a main part of the coup, attempted to flee to Gibraltar; however, his asylum
application was declined and he was sent back to Morocco. He was later sentenced to death by
firing squad.[63][56][62] General Mohamed Oufkir, Morocco's defense minister at the time, was
suspected to have led the coup; he was later found dead from multiple gunshot wounds, with his
death officially determined to be a suicide.[64][29][62] Hassan declared that he "must not place
[his] trust in anyone" after what he perceived as treason from Oufkir.[50] The attempted coups
reportedly reinforced his rule over Morocco.[65]

                                            Hassan's first official foreign visit as King was to       727 after the 1972 coup
                                            attend the 1st Summit of the Non-Aligned                   attempt
                                            Movement, which took place in September 1961 in
                                            Belgrade.[66][67]
                                            In the Cold War era, Hassan allied Morocco with the West generally, and with the
                                            United States and France in particular. His obituary in The New York Times described
                                            him as "a monarch oriented to the west".[4] There were close and continuing ties
                                            between the royal government and the CIA, who helped to reorganize Morocco's
                                            security forces in 1960.[68] During Hassan's tenure as prime minister, Morocco
Hassan II being interviewed by Hugh
                                            controversially accepted Soviet military aid and made overtures towards Moscow.
Downs for Today on NBC, 1963                During an interview, he stated that "as an Islamic people, [Morocco has] the right to
                                            practice bigamy. We can wed East and West and be faithful to both".[4]
In 1975, he created the Al-Quds Committee, a non-governmental organization aimed to "preserve the Arab-Muslim character" of
Jerusalem. It works on the restoration of mosques and the creation of hospitals and schools in the city.[69][70] The committee also
gives out scholarship to students living in the city, as well as donating equipment to schools and kindergartens.[71][72] Hassan also
admitted Norbert Calmels, a French member of the Holy See and one of his personal friends, to the Academy of the Kingdom of
Morocco. Calmels was responsible for bringing about a rapprochement between Islam and Christianity.[73][74]
Hassan was alleged to have covertly cooperated with the State of Israel and Israeli intelligence.[75][76] In what was termed
Operation Yachin, he negotiated for the migration of over 97,000 Moroccan Jews to Israel from 1961 to 1964 in exchange for
weapons and training for Morocco's security forces and intelligence agencies.[75] The Moroccan Jewish community was
historically among the largest in the Muslim world.[77] In an arrangement financed by the American Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society (HIAS), Hassan was paid a sum of $500,000 along with $100 for each of the first 50,000 Moroccan Jews to be migrated
to Israel, and $250 for each Jewish emigrant thereafter.[78][79]
Hassan served as a mediator between Arab countries and Israel. In 1977, he served as a key backchannel in peace talks between
Egypt and Israel, hosting secret meetings between Israeli and Egyptian officials; these meetings led to the Egypt–Israel peace
treaty.[75]
According to Shlomo Gazit, during an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth, then-leader of the Military Intelligence Directorate,
Hassan invited Mossad and Shin Bet agents to bug the Casablanca hotel hosting the 1965 Arab League summit to record
conversations of participating Arab leaders. This information was instrumental in Israel's victory in the Six-Day War.[80][75]
Ronen Bergman claimed in his book, Rise And Kill First, that Israeli intelligence then supplied information leading to Mehdi Ben
Barka's capture and assassination.[81] Bergman also alleged that the Moroccan DST and Mossad collaborated in a 1996 plot to
assassinate Osama bin Laden. The plot involved a woman close to bin Laden who was an informant for the DST; however, the
mission was aborted due to rising tensions between Morocco and Israel.[75][82]
Relations with Mauritania remained strained due to Moroccan claims to the entirety of Mauritanian territory, with Morocco only
recognizing Mauritania as a sovereign state in 1969, nearly a decade after the latter's declaration of independence.[83] In 1984, as
a result of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) joining the Organisation of African Unity two years prior, Hassan
declared the suspension of Morocco's membership of the organisation.[84][85] Morocco entered into a diplomatic crisis with
Burkinabé President Thomas Sankara following his decision to recognize the SADR.[86]
Hassan was close to Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran, even hosting him in 1979 when he was exiled.[87]
Armed conflicts
On 14 October 1963, the Sand War was declared as a result of failed negotiations over borders inherited from French colonialism
between Hassan and Algeria's newly elected president Ahmed Ben Bella.[5][88] The war heavily damaged both countries'
economies, and the king ordered his citizens to call off Eid al-Adha festivities in part due to the economic recession caused by the
war.[89] A peace treaty and armistice ended the war on 15 January 1969.[90][88] Hassan later claimed that the war was "stupid and
a real setback".[5]
Hassan sent 11,000 troops, one infantry brigade to Egypt and one armored regiment to Syria during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, in
which six Moroccan troops were captured.[5][91][92] During Hassan's reign, Morocco recovered the Spanish-controlled area of Ifni
in 1969, and gained control of two-thirds of what was formerly Spanish Sahara through the Green March in 1975.[93] The
nationalist Polisario Front subsequently engaged in a war for control of the territory, with support from Algeria, and relations
between the two countries deteriorated further as a result.[94]
Economy
Hassan adopted a market-based economy, where agriculture, tourism, and phosphates mining industries played a major role.[95] In
1967, he launched an irrigation project consisting of over a million hectares of land.[96]
The king eventually came to develop very good relations with parts of the French media and financial elite. In 1988, the contract
for the construction of the Great Mosque of Casablanca, a considerable project in scale, financed through compulsory
contributions, was awarded to a civil engineering firm owned by Francis Bouygues, one of the most powerful businessmen in
France and a personal friend of Hassan's. His image in France was tarnished, however, following the publication in 1990 of Gilles
Perrault's Our Friend the King, describing detention conditions in Tazmamart, the repression of left-wing opponents and
Sahrawis, political assassinations, and the poor socioeconomic conditions in which the majority of Moroccans lived.[97]
On 3 March 1973, Hassan announced a policy of "Moroccanization", in which state-held assets, agricultural lands, and businesses
that were more than fifty percent foreign-owned were taken over and transferred to local companies and businessmen.[98][99][5]
This economic policy affected thousands of businesses, and the proportion of locally-owned industrial businesses in Morocco
immediately increased from 18% to 55%.[5] Two-thirds of the wealth of the "Moroccanized" economy were concentrated in 36
Moroccan families.[5]
In 1988, he also adopted a privatization policy. Beginning in 1993, more than a hundred public companies were privatized.[100] It
was primarily carried out by the king and his advisor, André Azoulay. Subsequently, the French group Accor was able to acquire
six hotels from the Moroccan chain Moussafir and the management of the Jamaï Palace in Fez. This privatization operation
enabled notables close to the Moroccan government to control the most prominent public companies, and French companies to
make a strong comeback in the country's economy. The royal family also acquired the mining group Monagem.[101]
The Moroccan government ordered forty days of mourning, while entertainment and cultural events were cancelled, and public
institutions and many businesses were closed upon news of the king's death.[105] Several world leaders expressed their
condolences, and days of mourning were also declared in several other countries, the majority being Arab states.[b] He was
succeeded by his eldest son, Mohammed VI, whose enthronement ceremony was held a week later.[109][110]
Hassan was buried on 25 July at the Mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat, following an Islamic funeral ceremony.[4] His coffin,
which was covered in a cloth depicting Islamic calligraphy, was carried by his two sons, King Mohammed VI and Prince Moulay
Rachid.[111][112]
Personal life
Hassan was described in an official royal palace biography after his death as "well
versed in the fields of architecture, medicine and technology" and that he gave his
children a "strong commitment to the search for learning and a dedication to uphold
the values of their country and their people".[10] Hassan was fluent in Arabic and
French and spoke "capable English".[4] He often quoted verse 29:46 (Al-Ankabut) of
the Quran.[73]
