His Majesty King Mohammed VI

by Khawla Daki

Hello everybody, I am Khawla and today I really want to let you know about my country Morocco and about our system and our King.



Well, I know that American people don't have a King but instead have a President. Actually our King is Mohammed the VI. He is Arabic and Amazigh, born on August 21, 1963. He is the current King of Morocco and he ascended to the throne on July 23, 1999 upon the death o his father, King Hassan II. His wife is Lalla Salma Bennane. They married in 2001 and he has two children: Crown Prince Moulay Hassan and the Princess Lalla Khadija. His mother is Lalla Latifa Hamme.

Shortly after he took the throne, Mohammed VI addressed his nation via television, promising to take on poverty and corruption, while creating jobs and improving Morocco's human right's record. In February 2004, he enacted a new family code, or "Moudawana," which granted women more power. He considers the Berber language as an offical state language along with Arabic or darija. And the state preserves and protects the Hassaniya language of the Moroccan Sahara and all the linguistic components o the Moroccan culture as a heritage of the nation.

Further than that, the King will give all citizens the freedom of thoughts, ideas, artistic expression and creation, and all the people are treated equally in Morocco.. We respect all the religions and all the nationalities.

Finally, I hope that you got some information about the King in Morocco.
