Islamist and Secular Forces in Morocco WP Not a Zero-Sum Game Introduction Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs Comments Islamist and Secular Forces in Morocco WP Not a Zero-Sum Game Mohammed Masbah S In Morocco, unlike in other Arab countries, Islamists and seculars tend to cooperate in formal as well as informal politics. Political opportunities and pragmatic interests trump ideology most of the time, providing a suitable environment for a broadly in- clusive political order. However, two factors stand in the way of sustained cooperation between Islamist and secular currents: on the one hand, sporadic upsurges of identity politics, and on the other, the strategies of divide and rule traditionally pursued by the “Makhzen” and its close allies. Rather than focusing on a set of partners who appear at first to be compatible with their values, Europeans should promote an inclusive politi- cal process that integrates all actors with significant popular outreach, such as the social movement Jama’at Al-Adl wa-l-Ihsan (Justice and Charity Association, AWI). Political divisions in Morocco are typically the PJD – three other secular parties: (1) the driven by tactical choices and specific issues, Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS), which and much less by ideology.

But every year at the end of May, for about 10 days, this changes. Rabat hosts the Mawazine (Rhythms) festival, dedicated to world music and one of the biggest events of its kind in the world. This is largely because King Muhammad VI, Morocco’s ruler, has given his backing to the venture. He has also given his powerful personal secretary, Mounir Majidi, the run of the festival. Mr Majidi manages the royal family’s assets, including the country’s biggest bank. The king is said to have delved into his own pockets to make the festival a success, and the private sector has been urged to donate generously.

  • Exception Or Pioneer? Political Islam in Morocco
    6 KAS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS 10|2013 EXCEPTION OR PIONEER? POLITICAL ISLAM IN MOROCCO Helmut Reifeld Dr. Helmut Reifeld is Resident Representative Shortly after the first stirrings of the Arab Spring, the of the Konrad-Adenauer- éxception marocaine, the Moroccan exception, quickly Stiftung in Morocco. became one of Morocco’s hottest topics in the media and in public debate. To understand the political factors underly- ing this exception, we need to look at the country’s recent history and in particular the fact that the country has a stable monarchy. The current king, Mohammed VI, is seen as a reformer whose policies are often described as a cul- ture de l’anticipation. Added to this are the parliamentary structures and autonomous political parties that have been established since the independence in 1956, constitutional developments since 1962, and the country’s multi-ethnic population structure and pluralistic culture. For almost two years now, Morocco has been peacefully run by a moderate Islamic government, while Islamic governments in Tunisia and Egypt have been the cause of renewed unrest and have contributed to instability. Without further verifying these particular factors, it is also clear that the relatively successful process of transforma- tion currently taking place in Morocco is setting it apart from the other countries of North Africa. Morocco’s elite sees its country as a hub between Europe and Africa, and the spotlight is increasingly being turned on Morocco as a model for peaceful transformation to parliamentary democracy and stronger ties with Europe. However, it is no secret that the country also has its darker aspects.

There had yet to be a punk rock band there until the mid-2000s. In the following paper, I detail the rise of heavy metal in Morocco. Beginning with the early metal scene, I trace through critical moments in its growth, building up to the origins of the Moroccan punk scene and the state of those subcultures in recent years.
