History of republicanism in Morocco
- History of republicanism in Morocco
In the history of Morocco, there have been a few attempts to establish republican forms of government:
*Moor refugees from Andalusia formed in Salé and Rabat the "Republic of Bou Regreg," a base for piracy (1627-1668)
*Berber rebels in the Rif Region first established a "Rif-republic" (1921-1926) under Abd el-Krim against Spanish colonialism in the north of Morocco only, then 1925 they tried to take Fes, too, but failed to expanse their republic in French protectorate.
*In 1971 army cadets under General Madbouh and Colonel Ababuh attacked the king Hassan II in "Shkirat" palace. In Radio Rabat the republic was proclaimed but suppressed by General Mohamed Oufkir. However, in 1972 Oufkir tried his own coup d'état, the airforce shot down the king's airplane and bombed the royal palace in Rabat. The coup failed again like the one from General Ahmed Dlimi in 1983.
