Abstract

The article focuses on King Mohammed VI of Morocco appointing his only son, Prince El Hassan, to a key military role as coordinator of offices and services within the army general staff. This position grants the 22-year-old prince unprecedented access to military intelligence and involvement in border security, regional threat monitoring, and army modernization efforts. The appointment marks a significant step in preparing the crown prince to eventually succeed to the throne of Morocco's four-century-old ruling dynasty. Prince El Hassan has recently taken on more public responsibilities while continuing his studies at King Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Rabat. [Extracted from the article]
