Jordan / Morocco: THE FATHERS (Part 1/2)
Par René Naba
Paris, December 5, 2009 . In the story of the Muslim prophecy, they have two first names of the legend of the two little son of the prophet, Hassan and Hussein, revered for their martyrdom, but this prestigious sponsorship will not sheltered from disrepute these two monarchs among the most educated in the Arab world who claim to be descendants of the Prophet addition, the Jordanian Hussein, head of the Hashemite dynasty, and the Moroccan Hassan, head of the Alawite dynasty (1).
Unlike the extraction pétromonarques Gulf Bedouin and rudimentary education, Hassan Hussein as have been the only two Arab rulers of the second half of the twentieth century graduates of Western universities, each in the colonial sector of his country, Hashemite British military academy Sandhurst, the Alawite the Faculty of Law of Bordeaux, but the knowledge acquired during their university studies will never be assigned to the modernization of their respective kingdom but to strengthen them in their archaism method of government and narcissism in their Western media projection.
Hussein to Hachémite:
A fact more than any summarizes the history of the Hashemite dynasty and explains a large part of his troubles and his rejection at the Arab level: British General John Glubb Pasha at the head of the Bedouin of the "Arab Legion" during the first Palestine war in 1948 that led to the creation of the Jewish state. A senior officer of the nationality of the representative power of the colonial era is in command of the Jordanian National Army in the first major pan-Arab war against the Israelis, deploying his troops in advance the approximate boundaries of the future Israeli demarcation line Jordanian without trying to push forward its progress, a measure of the duplicity of the Hashemite throne and his dependence on his immutable sponsor, the United Kingdom.
Subterfuge lacked finesse and the dynasty will pay full price this congenital disability. Ousted from Mecca by the Wahhabis, returned to Damascus by the French, killed and beheaded in Jerusalem in Baghdad, in one case as in the other by Arab nationalists, the Hashemite dynasty who dreamed of leading a United Arab grand extending from the Arabian Peninsula to the Mediterranean coast, is found, after almost a century of Western collusion and anti-monarchical turbulence, reduced to its bare minimum, the throne of Jordan, a principality cut custom on the ruins of Palestine by Transjordan Detachment of the West Bank in the great tradition of carvings specific colonial arbitrariness.
Linchpin of the Anglo-Saxon presence in the Middle East, the "Little King" and called Western worldly newspapers proved to be a "great vassal," from Amman assuming a dual mission: to safeguard the oil monarchies of Gulf, which will be the best long regional gendarme, and the Israeli integration in the Middle East, which earned the founder of the Jordanian branch of the dynasty, King Abdullah 1 being assassinated in Jerusalem itself, in the precincts of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a clear sign of the wrath that such family inspired the public.
Modernist culture Hussein will meet the European royal gazettes of his sporting achievements (waterskiing and control) and marriage. His first wife Dina Abdel Hamid, after the great Egyptian bourgeoisie, rally Palestinian Revolution and his marriage to one of the leaders of the Marxist Popular Front organization for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) will sound as a repudiation of royal practices. The second wife, Toni Gardiner, the daughter of his British military adviser, will give him his successor, the current King Abdullah II, illustrating not only in the symbolic order but also in the field carnal British parentage of the Hashemite throne.
More seriously, the name Hussein is inseparably associated with the "Black September" Jordan, the first major army eradication of Palestinians.
King, two thirds of the population is of Palestinian origin, will not hesitate to bomb the capital and drown in a pool of blood-three thousand victims-the Palestinian national movement off in 1970 two years after the prestigious battle of Al Karama (Dignity Battle) during which dozens of Palestinian fedayeen allow themselves decimated locally forcing the Israeli army to retreat under the impassive gaze of the Jordanian army, remained the weapon foot in the Jordan Valley (2).
Then his prime minister Wasfi Tall referred to as the "Butcher of Amman," the former agent of the British Intelligence Service, was assassinated in retaliation in 1971 and relinquished himself four years later the burden of representation Palestinians with the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine (PLO) by the Arab summit in Rabat held in the wake of the fourth Arab-Israeli war of October 1973 that he will not participate.
His third marriage wedding with a daughter of the great Palestinian bourgeoisie Toukane Alia, who died in a plane crash, do not protect this new amputation, probably the most painful since it deprived him of his status as a "Guardian Holy Places of Jerusalem ", the basis of its legitimacy.
His fourth marriage with Arab-American Lisa Halaby, daughter of former President and CEO of the American airline Pan Am, will be more in line with its new policy directions. Whether in his cottage on the Gulf of Aqaba or London, his second home, Hussein maintain a sustained contact with Israeli leaders confused political ideology that always ensure, in turn, solve the Palestinian problem in the Jordanian context, never in an independent manner.
One year after the Oslo Israeli-Palestinian agreement, prancing with impatience, it will speed across the Arab World, as if afraid of being left behind in 1994 and operates sort of diplomatic Blitzkrieg unopposed signing a peace treaty with Israel in the wake of normalizing relations with the Jewish state, while Egypt, dean of the process, was at the stage of pre standardization fifteen years after signing its own peace treaty .
In June 1995, Hussein, he always will be one of the most active support for the coup in Qatar resulting in eviction of a notoriously French emir in favor of his son more permeable to the arguments of the British oil company "British Petroleum "willing to participate in the exploitation of huge gas fields of the principality, the field offshore North Dome, which it had previously been excluded.
In October of the same year, Hussein will apply to neutralize the effects of the Euro-Mediterranean Summit in Barcelona by organizing simultaneous Amman economic conference to launch the "Greater Middle East" to seal the integration of Israel into the Arab economic circuit. Barcelona and Amman were the head-on collision of two conceptions of regional cooperation, supported by the United States and Israel Jordanian conference was trying to promote a free trade retrocedes Gulf oil-monarchies subcontracting of Financial Assistance zone countries, while Barcelona propelled by the European Union was working to develop a trans-Mediterranean cooperation by establishing a preferential tariff zone and transfer of North-South technology.
Twice therefore, be it for the coup of Qatar or the Euro-Mediterranean summit in Barcelona, Jordan found herself at odds with France, but Paris will not hold him forever rigor of his bad manners and will even show constant deference to him. Thus the French protocol for decades to ensure that all French ambassadors in Amman do not exceed a head "little king" for fear of giving the impression of toiser high.
Hospital, Hussein was in a singular conception of asylum that is more in the legal contortions that the mere application of substantive law. Thus it will offer in 1995 for political asylum in-law of Iraqi President Hussein Kamel for a debriefing by the American services. "Whoever crosses the remains of Abu Abdallah can remain in peace," he had advanced as justification. But the principle of hospitality loudly by the United brandished quickly proved a legal device to use variable as the monarch will not hesitate fortnight later to deliver the United States a Palestinian Islamist Al-Marzouki whose extradition was demanded by Washington.
Eight years later, his own son and successor Abdullah II will offer asylum to the family of ousted president Saddam Hussein in the hope of making a lever to reposition Iraqi Sunni eliminated from the political scene by the American invasion Iraq, which the young king has been one of the catapult. It is indeed through the Jordanian desert in western United that American special forces have pioneered the way thereto circumvent and neutralize the Iraqi positions well before the official start of operations against the Baathist regime in March 2003.
Natural inclination or family atavism? It was in New York March 22, 2005 before the American Jewish organizations, not Algiers before its Arab peers gathered the same day in a sulk that summit, Abdullah II, son of Hussein, draw sound the alarm on the "Shiite peril" that threatens the Middle East in the post-saddamienne geopolitical configuration. Remodeling which his father and himself have contributed greatly not only paying Jordanian territory to American led, but by working closely with the project of the American administration and its related services.
Jordan is indeed with Egypt a major proponent of the "rendition" (3), the relocation of American torture to Third World countries, and for a quarter of a century, the main contractor of the sub-regional American prison repression in the Arab world, he draws substantial benefits both in terms of providing his torturers with its Arab partners, and in terms of benevolent media coverage from the American press. Morocco, Egypt and even Syria have also benefited from these "extraordinary renditions" of suspected terrorists, surrender to these known to use torture countries.
Family heredity or natural inclination? Abdallah inflict his father the same blow that Hussein had inflicted on his grandfather. Defying the laws of succession on the eve of his impending death, Hussein, to American pressure, had deposed his brother Hassan, Crown Prince title, to entrust this responsibility to his son Abdullah. Became king in turn betraying the requirements of his father, Abdullah destituera his brother Hamza station crown prince to entrust this job to his own son still young.
He nevertheless show a worthy son of his father in his amorous escapades to the point that its proximity to the family of billionaire Saudi Lebanese Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister assassinated in 2005, nearly jeopardizing her household, amputating its main asset, its best image, his wife, Queen Rania al Yassin Palestine.
In view of the policy of his father and his own since his accession to the throne, there is ten, including the complete overlap of Jordan to the American strategy, Abdullah appears as the spearhead of the fight against terrorism and democratization of Arab monarchies, according to his admirers, the first "embedded" (incorporated) in the history of American diplomacy, a "Khizmatché" a "factotum Emeritus" of the American Israeli axis, according to its detractors.
Hassan L'Alaouite:
His father, Mohammed V, has been the only leader of the French Empire to refuse to implement the racist Vichy laws, impose the wearing of the "yellow star" to Moroccans Jewish time of the French protectorate (4). At a time when a large fraction of Europe bent under fascism, that France actively collaborated with the Nazis, the Arab and Muslim sultan rose up against his own guards and the surrounding European racism. Moral courage he has shown in adversity gave the United a kind of immunity, including his son, Hassan II, will inherit, using and abusing this privilege to the point of living like this immunity impunity, a kind of pension eternal status.
With the prestige of his father, credited with brilliant intelligence which is better than that of its Arab peers case, surrounded by a panel of renowned intellectuals such lawyer Georges Vedel, academician Maurice Druon, author of the unforgettable "song supporters" of the French Resistance, or the former head of French diplomacy, Michel Jobert, steeped in Western culture, Hassan II was promised a dazzling reign with a mission to propel his country to forefront of the battle to modernize the Arab world. The reign was promising, it will be disastrous for the "act of state" by the act of a prince who succumbed to the fascination of oriental despotism.
Despot, Hassan II has been in every sense of the word. Not an enlightened despot, but a despot retrograde, preferably supporting comparison with its Eastern rivals, sparing neither his minions, and Ahmad Mohammad Oufkir Dlimi, two successive ministers of the interior, or the censors its too big drifts, the two hopes of a modern and democratic Morocco, Mehdi Ben Barka in 1965 and Omar Ben jelloun, ten years later, the most popular Moroccan activist left who pay with their lives their critical convictions.
With the loyalty and gratitude of the Jews of Morocco, he surrounded himself with policy advisers from this community, as the banker André Azoulay, telling some of his more savvy managing his private assets, significant representatives but Committee Chair backup Jerusalem, far to leverage this capital of sympathy to promote a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will use it as a shield, neutralizing any criticism of it.
Sacrificing to the society of the spectacle, his press conferences, one of the highlights of the Moroccan diplomatic ritual, will not the opportunity to promote a great project, but to satisfy the vanity of a beautiful formula that devotees often recruited from the cohort of French journalists eager to pass and amplify wonder.
By an inexplicable phenomenon, the sharpest of the French press feathers regularly lose their edge at the mention of the royal turpitude, sententious tone for reserving less hospitable leaders. In Rabat, the duty of impertinence has long since given way to reverent awe.
Fielder tip of West Africa strategy, the armed wing of Saudi Arabia to protect reviled regimes, such as that of satrap of Zaire Mobutu, under the Safari Club, boasting a pool of his audience measurement for the spread of "Medi 1" criticism of anyone except his august person, Hassan II, absolute monarch of a radio program in his devotion, will not impose any limitation on its extravagance.
His Kingdom sweatshops and terror will nevertheless touted as paradise on earth under the watchful eye of the "Oujda Group" led by Maurice Lévy, head of Publicis, the great French communications group (5).
Magnanimity or complacency ?: a man has violated the French sovereignty by ordering the removal of Ben Barka in the center of Paris with the complicity of French services, the man who ridiculed the most famous French leader Charles De Gaulle, who will tyrannized unrestrained his people, who will the Bastille a fraction of the intellectual elite of his kingdom because of patriotism, including Abraham Sarfati engineer, mathematician and Sion Assidon Laabi Abdel Latif, one of the great contemporary Arab poets, man there is, paradoxically, in the twilight of his life, the only Arab leader to benefit from the extraordinary privilege to co-chair the prestigious military parade of 14 July 1999, the French national holiday.
No one in France, nor in Western countries ventured to consider this treatment. A free pass as he draws its justification in the basic role of the French state to drop assigned to Morocco by Western strategists at the height of the Cold War in case of a new French facing collapse a Soviet thrust (6).Or was within it a sign of gratitude from one of the most consistent commensal Moroccan royal tables, French President Jacques Chirac? On discharge for a calamitous reign? On a premium for a problematic struggle against Islamic terrorism that has nourished by its abuses and excesses
As a kind of wink of History at both ends of the Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris, two prestigious locations in this mecca of French intelligentsia were dedicated to the late twentieth century, two important figures in the history of modern Morocco: Mohammed V to the first, probably for the sake of the French authorities to be forgiven exile of Sultan time of the Revolutionary War, whose name now honors the central place the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA), and the second to Mehdi Ben Barka, including a commemorative plaque affixed near the Brasserie Lipp, instead of his kidnapping as repentance for his posthumous execution. But Hassan II, no trace.
The same Chappe lead around his son and successor Mohammed VI, a sharp dilettantism with compulsive behavior of his father. Unless you have a sense of concealment taken to the extreme, the young king seems no way affected by the turmoil in the world, leading in grand style with an equivalent to seven departments budget, not hesitating to sacrifice its international obligations to meet his favorite sport, skiing in Courchevel (French Alps), or diving with large dimensions Gabon.
With a divided opposition without a clear vision, an army stops fortress assigned to defend the borders of the Kingdom, Western Sahara, King Mohammed VI, the height of the weakness of others, reluctant to be strong intelligence other. His cousin, Hicham Ben Abdallah Al-Aloui, a prince of the blood, which promotes a new definition of citizenship, is banished from the court, exiled to the United States under the jeers of his zealous courtiers, while the Islamic opposition gagged now advocates the voice of the daughter of the founder of the movement, Nadia Abdel Salam Yassin, the introduction of a "Republic". Islamic.
In its issue of managing large files, such as the case of the block Parsley in the Strait of Gibraltar and the discovery of huge oil deposits, the young king will have attracted the attention of international opinion. By its unpredictable twists, such as the last minute cancellation of the official visit of Prime Minister of Algeria in June 2005 the day before the trip, as well as by his unauthorized absences-the first Arab summit in Amman in March 2001 devoted to revival of the Palestinian Intifada, the second funeral of Yasser Arafat, the historic leader of Palestiniens-, the young king was intrigued international opinion.
For a "Commander of the Faithful" that more is chairman of "Al Quds," the committee to save the holy places of Jerusalem, his followers, many in Western governments would have dreamed of better behavior, a keen sense of its responsibilities. Symptomatic: the first book on this young king called for a long reign had the title "The Last King twilight of a dynasty" (7). Such a title is it a premonition? This ominous notes he a gross misinterpretation or a simple divining anticipation?

Left Morocco, click here to enlarge the map. Right Jordan, click here to enlarge the map.
This article is the second part of the text " Hassan and Hussein, modernism in the service of archaic , Jordan / Morocco: Two outfielders advanced Western diplomacy. Part 1/2 ".
Paris, 13 December 2009, Hassan and Hussein have shown early strong interest in the West, probably because of their education, but also in the understanding of the survival of the throne interest. If Saudi Arabia is crisscrossed by the FBI, thirty stations scattered in the main cities of the Kingdom to thwart subversive conducted against the royal family and American facilities, relationship intelligence seems equally blunt in For the other two monarchs judging by reports in the international press ... to the point that the two monarchies, one for the Mashreq, the Levant (Jordan), and one for the Maghreb, the Ponant ( the Morocco) appear as outfielders the tip of Western diplomacy in the Arab sphere.
The case of Morocco Ben Barka removed with the help of Mossad
Libre Belgique newspaper published on 25 January 2008, a review a book by an Israeli journalist in which the writer describes the close ties between Israel and Morocco, including collaboration between Morocco and the Mossad the Israeli intelligence service, in the abduction and disappearance of the Moroccan dissident Mehdi Ben Barka.
The journalist Shmuel Segev, former captain of the military intelligence and Paris correspondent for the daily Maariv, ensures that the Mossad has indirectly helped the Moroccan secret service to locate the socialist opponent, then trap him, "Ben Barka, who traveled widely in worldwide, used a newspaper stand in Geneva as a post office box where he came back his post, and the Mossad gave this information to Dlimi, "he wrote.
"The October 29, 1965, Ben Barka arrived in Paris from Geneva, with an Algerian diplomatic passport. He filed his bags in his friend Jo Ohanna, a Moroccan Jew, and went on foot to the Brasserie Lipp to meet a French journalist, when two French policemen in plainclothes arrested and taken to a rental car to a villa south of Paris. We know for certain that Ben Barka was still alive on November 1, (...) Dlimi did not want to kill him, but make him confess his intention to overthrow King Hassan II, he added. Ben Barka ankles were shackled and his hands clasped behind his back, and Dlimi plunged his head into a basin of water. At one point, he pressed hard on his jugular, and strangled to death ", he has said. "The Moroccan Interior Minister, General Mohammed Oufkir, chief of the secret police, then arrived in Paris to organize the funeral, which took place in Paris, a few days after the death, in an area under construction , where there was concrete and cement on the edge of Highway South, "he has said.
Colonel Ahmad Dlimi was then Assistant General Oufkir Mohamad, Minister of the Interior. Patron of the Police, in court, he will be acquitted. General Oufkir is sentenced him in absentia to life imprisonment. Yet, the same charges were brought against two Moroccan officials. But the judgment of the Court of Assizes of the Seine judging the Ben Barka case falls June 5, 1967, the day of triggering the 3rd Arab-Israeli war of June 1967 So, what there was of inconsistent or even shocking disparity in this judgment, then pass virtually unnoticed.
But everything else will have been the epilogue of this murky affair. Comparable in sophistication sadistic morals Florentine courses, he will go down in the annals of the Kingdom of Morocco for his Machiavellian completed symptomatic illustration of the behavior of a customary kingdom though such practices rarely seen in Arab countries.
Their package accomplished two torturers will be shipped patres ad, forcibly, at eleven years apart, exploited against each other in a mutual self-destruction process in a widespread rejection of the Moroccan opinion, relieved by the elimination of these two infamous characters fatal.
True to Hassan during two attempted coups in 1971 and 1972, Ahmad Dlimi is said to have personally executed his superior, on the orders of the king, suspecting General Oufkir in the implementation of the coup of 1972.
Assumed his parricide, General Dlimi will be promoted commander of the southern zone (Sahara) and patron of all the Moroccan secret services before experiencing identical to that of his mentor fate. He died a violent death, eleven years later, crashed on 25 January 1983 by a crazy truck in Marrakech, the official version, on the eve of the official visit of French President Francois Mitterrand in Morocco.
According to one version having been current at the time, never confirmed nor denied, General Dlimi would have been sacrificed on the altar of reason of state, a victim of the rivalry between France and the United States and the willingness of Moroccan officer opened on Algeria and Libya to end the war in Western Sahara alibi plan, pointed by the conservative administration of Ronald Reagan unwilling to make concessions to the Soviet camp and its Arab allies.
Nevertheless, the sudden removal of one of the main protagonists of the Ben Barka affair led at the same time eliminate the principal running low royal works, while it prémunissait the throne of any potential blackmail of this witness first plane now bulky, ensuring the Sharifian dynasty eternal silence on one of the most sinister yet rich history of its misdeeds in this area.
Segev's book, prefaced by a former head of Mossad, Israeli spy service, Ephraim Halevy, was published in Hebrew by Editions "Matar" under the title "The Moroccan connection." It is full of details about secret relations between Israel and Morocco.
Thus, he writes, when in 1963 triggered the war between Morocco and Algeria, the head of Mossad, Meir Amit, with a false passport, met in Marrakech King Hassan II to declare, "We can, and we want to help you. " Instructors of Israel were then led to Moroccan officers, trained airmen flying Soviet MiG-17, organized its secret services, oversaw the construction of the fence between Morocco and Algeria, sold weapons, including tanks French AMX-13 via Tehran and fishing boats equipped with radars to transform into coast guards.
Also in 1965, Israel was able to follow the Arab summit in Casablanca and discovered the unpreparedness of the Arab armies before the war of June 1967, he said. Segev in his book also devotes an important part in the talks with Mossad King Hassan II, who heralded the secret meeting in Morocco Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan with Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Hassan al Touhami, then to travel history of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem in 1977.
The Morocco was, admittedly, a centerpiece of the western part device against the Communist bloc.Paris had set at the time of the most important after the Washington Soviet-American Cold War (1945-1990) an important embassy in Rabat thousand people, in order to provide a basis fallback to top political and military command French in case of invasion of Paris by communist troops as part of the strategy of "Stand Behind." The Kingdom also housed the operating platform of the U.S. Strategic Air Command at Mohammed V in Casablanca (Morocco) airport, connected by a coaxial cable directly to Bizerte (Tunisia), the naval base that served as the time of the French protectorate center listening radar on behalf of NATO. Controlling the Strait of Sicily on the road from Suez to Gibraltar, Bizerte, as well as Brest, Toulon, and Mers el Kebir (Algeria), was a link in the chain of bases needed for French defense and its atomic arrangement, and, beyond, to NATO.
And that could explain this ... ..Que King Hassan II inflicts a blow to the prestigious French president at the time, General Charles De Gaulle, flouting the French sovereignty, -l'enlèvement a Moroccan opponent open with Paris the complicity of agents French- with impunity, without fear of reprisal.
The case of Jordan, an informant king?
The case of Jordan is more shocking because in this case it is the King himself, who served as an indicator of record of the CIA, to judge by the revelations of a major witness of Arab political life past half century, the Egyptian journalist Mohamed Hassanein Heikal.
The former confidant of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser recounts in a series of interviews broadcast in August 2009 on the transarabe channel "Al Jazeera" that King Hussein of Jordan has served for 17 years, from 1957 to 1975 of 'CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, under the pseudonym "NO BEEF" for an annual salary of one million dollars.
"On the eve of the 3rd Arab-Israeli war in June 1967, King was evacuated its battle fleet taking shelter in Turkey 16 Phantom fighter-bombers to prevent Egypt can use them in raids programmed against Israel, "said the former head of the Egyptian daily" Al-Ahram ".
"Jordan lamented the loss of six soldiers in that war. King has not fought, preferring yield without fighting the West Bank to Israel, half of the territory of his kingdom, so getting rid of a nationalist home that could threaten the stability of the Hashemite Bedouin seated throne, "said t he said.Recidivist, King Hussein in October 1973 will fly to Tel Aviv to inform directly the Israeli prime minister at the time Golda Meir preparations for the offensive Syrian Egyptian assert further Mr. Haykal.
In another article, Jim Hoagland, an influential Washington Post columnist, said that King Hussein was paid by the CIA ("on the CIA payroll"), which literally means the voter list during the 1970s and he did not hesitate to ally Syrian President Hafez Assad in the 1980s, and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. This article entitled "Another Royal Mistake in Jordan?" Has been played by the International Herald Tribune, dated 1 February 1999.
According to the Egyptian journalist, American President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) personally informed the American reporter Ben Bradley, editor of the Washington Post, and his collaborator Bob Woodward, one of the developers of the Watergate scandal in the Nixon era , the presence of King Hussein of Jordan among active CIA agents in the Middle East.
The revelations of Mohamad Hassanein Heikal on the connivance of the two countries with the Western intelligence services have sparked a backlash from both monarchies leading to a boycott of the Arab border line, but no one in his two kingdoms ventured to challenge the two monarchies on their alleged connections with the intelligence services believed to be the enemies of the Arab world.
It was the same when the transarabe newspaper "Al Quds al Arabi", appearing in London, announced September 25, 2009, the Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri met his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman, New York on the sidelines of the annual session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
While Saudi Arabia declared its rejection of any normalization with Israel before a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli dispute, and that Egypt, a signatory to a peace treaty with Israel limited its contacts Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barack, scuttling the annual meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean in Turkey in late October to block the road to the presence of the Israeli foreign minister who is said to be one of Israel's leaders most xenophobic in Israeli history, the head of the Moroccan diplomacy legitimized and sly character ostracized by the Arab countries and some of its Western allies, although this information has raised any comment from Morocco.
Haykal said that the Egyptian leadership was seriously concerned military leaks and he was greatly surprised to discover that one of the indicators of American services was an Arab king. He blames the lack of reliability of some Arab leaders a share of Arab military defeats. This could explain that.
Many other similar examples could be cited infamy elsewhere in the Arab world. But only two Arab leaders claiming descent from the Prophet darlings of America, favor the survival of the throne, at the risk of sacrificing the long-term interests of the Arab world, in alliance with the official enemy of Arab world, sheds new light on the Arab collapse and the marginalization of the Arab world that followed in the management of world affairs.

Hospital, Hussein was in a singular conception of asylum that is more in the legal contortions that the mere application of substantive law. Thus it will offer in 1995 for political asylum in-law of Iraqi President Hussein Kamel for a debriefing by the American services. "Whoever crosses the remains of Abu Abdallah can remain in peace," he had advanced as justification. But the principle of hospitality loudly by the United brandished quickly proved a legal device to use variable as the monarch will not hesitate fortnight later to deliver the United States a Palestinian Islamist Al-Marzouki whose extradition was demanded by Washington.
Eight years later, his own son and successor Abdullah II will offer asylum to the family of ousted president Saddam Hussein in the hope of making a lever to reposition Iraqi Sunni eliminated from the political scene by the American invasion Iraq, which the young king has been one of the catapult. It is indeed through the Jordanian desert in western United that American special forces have pioneered the way thereto circumvent and neutralize the Iraqi positions well before the official start of operations against the Baathist regime in March 2003.
Natural inclination or family atavism? It was in New York March 22, 2005 before the American Jewish organizations, not Algiers before its Arab peers gathered the same day in a sulk that summit, Abdullah II, son of Hussein, draw sound the alarm on the "Shiite peril" that threatens the Middle East in the post-saddamienne geopolitical configuration. Remodeling which his father and himself have contributed greatly not only paying Jordanian territory to American led, but by working closely with the project of the American administration and its related services.
Jordan is indeed with Egypt a major proponent of the "rendition" (3), the relocation of American torture to Third World countries, and for a quarter of a century, the main contractor of the sub-regional American prison repression in the Arab world, he draws substantial benefits both in terms of providing his torturers with its Arab partners, and in terms of benevolent media coverage from the American press. Morocco, Egypt and even Syria have also benefited from these "extraordinary renditions" of suspected terrorists, surrender to these known to use torture countries.
Family heredity or natural inclination? Abdallah inflict his father the same blow that Hussein had inflicted on his grandfather. Defying the laws of succession on the eve of his impending death, Hussein, to American pressure, had deposed his brother Hassan, Crown Prince title, to entrust this responsibility to his son Abdullah. Became king in turn betraying the requirements of his father, Abdullah destituera his brother Hamza station crown prince to entrust this job to his own son still young.
He nevertheless show a worthy son of his father in his amorous escapades to the point that its proximity to the family of billionaire Saudi Lebanese Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister assassinated in 2005, nearly jeopardizing her household, amputating its main asset, its best image, his wife, Queen Rania al Yassin Palestine.
In view of the policy of his father and his own since his accession to the throne, there is ten, including the complete overlap of Jordan to the American strategy, Abdullah appears as the spearhead of the fight against terrorism and democratization of Arab monarchies, according to his admirers, the first "embedded" (incorporated) in the history of American diplomacy, a "Khizmatché" a "factotum Emeritus" of the American Israeli axis, according to its detractors.
Hassan L'Alaouite:
His father, Mohammed V, has been the only leader of the French Empire to refuse to implement the racist Vichy laws, impose the wearing of the "yellow star" to Moroccans Jewish time of the French protectorate (4). At a time when a large fraction of Europe bent under fascism, that France actively collaborated with the Nazis, the Arab and Muslim sultan rose up against his own guards and the surrounding European racism. Moral courage he has shown in adversity gave the United a kind of immunity, including his son, Hassan II, will inherit, using and abusing this privilege to the point of living like this immunity impunity, a kind of pension eternal status.
With the prestige of his father, credited with brilliant intelligence which is better than that of its Arab peers case, surrounded by a panel of renowned intellectuals such lawyer Georges Vedel, academician Maurice Druon, author of the unforgettable "song supporters" of the French Resistance, or the former head of French diplomacy, Michel Jobert, steeped in Western culture, Hassan II was promised a dazzling reign with a mission to propel his country to forefront of the battle to modernize the Arab world. The reign was promising, it will be disastrous for the "act of state" by the act of a prince who succumbed to the fascination of oriental despotism.
Despot, Hassan II has been in every sense of the word. Not an enlightened despot, but a despot retrograde, preferably supporting comparison with its Eastern rivals, sparing neither his minions, and Ahmad Mohammad Oufkir Dlimi, two successive ministers of the interior, or the censors its too big drifts, the two hopes of a modern and democratic Morocco, Mehdi Ben Barka in 1965 and Omar Ben jelloun, ten years later, the most popular Moroccan activist left who pay with their lives their critical convictions.
With the loyalty and gratitude of the Jews of Morocco, he surrounded himself with policy advisers from this community, as the banker André Azoulay, telling some of his more savvy managing his private assets, significant representatives but Committee Chair backup Jerusalem, far to leverage this capital of sympathy to promote a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will use it as a shield, neutralizing any criticism of it.
Sacrificing to the society of the spectacle, his press conferences, one of the highlights of the Moroccan diplomatic ritual, will not the opportunity to promote a great project, but to satisfy the vanity of a beautiful formula that devotees often recruited from the cohort of French journalists eager to pass and amplify wonder.
By an inexplicable phenomenon, the sharpest of the French press feathers regularly lose their edge at the mention of the royal turpitude, sententious tone for reserving less hospitable leaders. In Rabat, the duty of impertinence has long since given way to reverent awe.
Fielder tip of West Africa strategy, the armed wing of Saudi Arabia to protect reviled regimes, such as that of satrap of Zaire Mobutu, under the Safari Club, boasting a pool of his audience measurement for the spread of "Medi 1" criticism of anyone except his august person, Hassan II, absolute monarch of a radio program in his devotion, will not impose any limitation on its extravagance.
His Kingdom sweatshops and terror will nevertheless touted as paradise on earth under the watchful eye of the "Oujda Group" led by Maurice Lévy, head of Publicis, the great French communications group (5).
Magnanimity or complacency ?: a man has violated the French sovereignty by ordering the removal of Ben Barka in the center of Paris with the complicity of French services, the man who ridiculed the most famous French leader Charles De Gaulle, who will tyrannized unrestrained his people, who will the Bastille a fraction of the intellectual elite of his kingdom because of patriotism, including Abraham Sarfati engineer, mathematician and Sion Assidon Laabi Abdel Latif, one of the great contemporary Arab poets, man there is, paradoxically, in the twilight of his life, the only Arab leader to benefit from the extraordinary privilege to co-chair the prestigious military parade of 14 July 1999, the French national holiday.
No one in France, nor in Western countries ventured to consider this treatment. A free pass as he draws its justification in the basic role of the French state to drop assigned to Morocco by Western strategists at the height of the Cold War in case of a new French facing collapse a Soviet thrust (6).Or was within it a sign of gratitude from one of the most consistent commensal Moroccan royal tables, French President Jacques Chirac? On discharge for a calamitous reign? On a premium for a problematic struggle against Islamic terrorism that has nourished by its abuses and excesses
As a kind of wink of History at both ends of the Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris, two prestigious locations in this mecca of French intelligentsia were dedicated to the late twentieth century, two important figures in the history of modern Morocco: Mohammed V to the first, probably for the sake of the French authorities to be forgiven exile of Sultan time of the Revolutionary War, whose name now honors the central place the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA), and the second to Mehdi Ben Barka, including a commemorative plaque affixed near the Brasserie Lipp, instead of his kidnapping as repentance for his posthumous execution. But Hassan II, no trace.
The same Chappe lead around his son and successor Mohammed VI, a sharp dilettantism with compulsive behavior of his father. Unless you have a sense of concealment taken to the extreme, the young king seems no way affected by the turmoil in the world, leading in grand style with an equivalent to seven departments budget, not hesitating to sacrifice its international obligations to meet his favorite sport, skiing in Courchevel (French Alps), or diving with large dimensions Gabon.
With a divided opposition without a clear vision, an army stops fortress assigned to defend the borders of the Kingdom, Western Sahara, King Mohammed VI, the height of the weakness of others, reluctant to be strong intelligence other. His cousin, Hicham Ben Abdallah Al-Aloui, a prince of the blood, which promotes a new definition of citizenship, is banished from the court, exiled to the United States under the jeers of his zealous courtiers, while the Islamic opposition gagged now advocates the voice of the daughter of the founder of the movement, Nadia Abdel Salam Yassin, the introduction of a "Republic". Islamic.
In its issue of managing large files, such as the case of the block Parsley in the Strait of Gibraltar and the discovery of huge oil deposits, the young king will have attracted the attention of international opinion. By its unpredictable twists, such as the last minute cancellation of the official visit of Prime Minister of Algeria in June 2005 the day before the trip, as well as by his unauthorized absences-the first Arab summit in Amman in March 2001 devoted to revival of the Palestinian Intifada, the second funeral of Yasser Arafat, the historic leader of Palestiniens-, the young king was intrigued international opinion.
For a "Commander of the Faithful" that more is chairman of "Al Quds," the committee to save the holy places of Jerusalem, his followers, many in Western governments would have dreamed of better behavior, a keen sense of its responsibilities. Symptomatic: the first book on this young king called for a long reign had the title "The Last King twilight of a dynasty" (7). Such a title is it a premonition? This ominous notes he a gross misinterpretation or a simple divining anticipation?

This article is the second part of the text " Hassan and Hussein, modernism in the service of archaic , Jordan / Morocco: Two outfielders advanced Western diplomacy. Part 1/2 ".
Paris, 13 December 2009, Hassan and Hussein have shown early strong interest in the West, probably because of their education, but also in the understanding of the survival of the throne interest. If Saudi Arabia is crisscrossed by the FBI, thirty stations scattered in the main cities of the Kingdom to thwart subversive conducted against the royal family and American facilities, relationship intelligence seems equally blunt in For the other two monarchs judging by reports in the international press ... to the point that the two monarchies, one for the Mashreq, the Levant (Jordan), and one for the Maghreb, the Ponant ( the Morocco) appear as outfielders the tip of Western diplomacy in the Arab sphere.
The case of Morocco Ben Barka removed with the help of Mossad
Libre Belgique newspaper published on 25 January 2008, a review a book by an Israeli journalist in which the writer describes the close ties between Israel and Morocco, including collaboration between Morocco and the Mossad the Israeli intelligence service, in the abduction and disappearance of the Moroccan dissident Mehdi Ben Barka.
The journalist Shmuel Segev, former captain of the military intelligence and Paris correspondent for the daily Maariv, ensures that the Mossad has indirectly helped the Moroccan secret service to locate the socialist opponent, then trap him, "Ben Barka, who traveled widely in worldwide, used a newspaper stand in Geneva as a post office box where he came back his post, and the Mossad gave this information to Dlimi, "he wrote.
"The October 29, 1965, Ben Barka arrived in Paris from Geneva, with an Algerian diplomatic passport. He filed his bags in his friend Jo Ohanna, a Moroccan Jew, and went on foot to the Brasserie Lipp to meet a French journalist, when two French policemen in plainclothes arrested and taken to a rental car to a villa south of Paris. We know for certain that Ben Barka was still alive on November 1, (...) Dlimi did not want to kill him, but make him confess his intention to overthrow King Hassan II, he added. Ben Barka ankles were shackled and his hands clasped behind his back, and Dlimi plunged his head into a basin of water. At one point, he pressed hard on his jugular, and strangled to death ", he has said. "The Moroccan Interior Minister, General Mohammed Oufkir, chief of the secret police, then arrived in Paris to organize the funeral, which took place in Paris, a few days after the death, in an area under construction , where there was concrete and cement on the edge of Highway South, "he has said.
Colonel Ahmad Dlimi was then Assistant General Oufkir Mohamad, Minister of the Interior. Patron of the Police, in court, he will be acquitted. General Oufkir is sentenced him in absentia to life imprisonment. Yet, the same charges were brought against two Moroccan officials. But the judgment of the Court of Assizes of the Seine judging the Ben Barka case falls June 5, 1967, the day of triggering the 3rd Arab-Israeli war of June 1967 So, what there was of inconsistent or even shocking disparity in this judgment, then pass virtually unnoticed.
But everything else will have been the epilogue of this murky affair. Comparable in sophistication sadistic morals Florentine courses, he will go down in the annals of the Kingdom of Morocco for his Machiavellian completed symptomatic illustration of the behavior of a customary kingdom though such practices rarely seen in Arab countries.
Their package accomplished two torturers will be shipped patres ad, forcibly, at eleven years apart, exploited against each other in a mutual self-destruction process in a widespread rejection of the Moroccan opinion, relieved by the elimination of these two infamous characters fatal.
True to Hassan during two attempted coups in 1971 and 1972, Ahmad Dlimi is said to have personally executed his superior, on the orders of the king, suspecting General Oufkir in the implementation of the coup of 1972.
Assumed his parricide, General Dlimi will be promoted commander of the southern zone (Sahara) and patron of all the Moroccan secret services before experiencing identical to that of his mentor fate. He died a violent death, eleven years later, crashed on 25 January 1983 by a crazy truck in Marrakech, the official version, on the eve of the official visit of French President Francois Mitterrand in Morocco.
According to one version having been current at the time, never confirmed nor denied, General Dlimi would have been sacrificed on the altar of reason of state, a victim of the rivalry between France and the United States and the willingness of Moroccan officer opened on Algeria and Libya to end the war in Western Sahara alibi plan, pointed by the conservative administration of Ronald Reagan unwilling to make concessions to the Soviet camp and its Arab allies.
Nevertheless, the sudden removal of one of the main protagonists of the Ben Barka affair led at the same time eliminate the principal running low royal works, while it prémunissait the throne of any potential blackmail of this witness first plane now bulky, ensuring the Sharifian dynasty eternal silence on one of the most sinister yet rich history of its misdeeds in this area.
Segev's book, prefaced by a former head of Mossad, Israeli spy service, Ephraim Halevy, was published in Hebrew by Editions "Matar" under the title "The Moroccan connection." It is full of details about secret relations between Israel and Morocco.
Thus, he writes, when in 1963 triggered the war between Morocco and Algeria, the head of Mossad, Meir Amit, with a false passport, met in Marrakech King Hassan II to declare, "We can, and we want to help you. " Instructors of Israel were then led to Moroccan officers, trained airmen flying Soviet MiG-17, organized its secret services, oversaw the construction of the fence between Morocco and Algeria, sold weapons, including tanks French AMX-13 via Tehran and fishing boats equipped with radars to transform into coast guards.
Also in 1965, Israel was able to follow the Arab summit in Casablanca and discovered the unpreparedness of the Arab armies before the war of June 1967, he said. Segev in his book also devotes an important part in the talks with Mossad King Hassan II, who heralded the secret meeting in Morocco Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan with Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Hassan al Touhami, then to travel history of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem in 1977.
The Morocco was, admittedly, a centerpiece of the western part device against the Communist bloc.Paris had set at the time of the most important after the Washington Soviet-American Cold War (1945-1990) an important embassy in Rabat thousand people, in order to provide a basis fallback to top political and military command French in case of invasion of Paris by communist troops as part of the strategy of "Stand Behind." The Kingdom also housed the operating platform of the U.S. Strategic Air Command at Mohammed V in Casablanca (Morocco) airport, connected by a coaxial cable directly to Bizerte (Tunisia), the naval base that served as the time of the French protectorate center listening radar on behalf of NATO. Controlling the Strait of Sicily on the road from Suez to Gibraltar, Bizerte, as well as Brest, Toulon, and Mers el Kebir (Algeria), was a link in the chain of bases needed for French defense and its atomic arrangement, and, beyond, to NATO.
And that could explain this ... ..Que King Hassan II inflicts a blow to the prestigious French president at the time, General Charles De Gaulle, flouting the French sovereignty, -l'enlèvement a Moroccan opponent open with Paris the complicity of agents French- with impunity, without fear of reprisal.
The case of Jordan, an informant king?
The case of Jordan is more shocking because in this case it is the King himself, who served as an indicator of record of the CIA, to judge by the revelations of a major witness of Arab political life past half century, the Egyptian journalist Mohamed Hassanein Heikal.
The former confidant of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser recounts in a series of interviews broadcast in August 2009 on the transarabe channel "Al Jazeera" that King Hussein of Jordan has served for 17 years, from 1957 to 1975 of 'CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, under the pseudonym "NO BEEF" for an annual salary of one million dollars.
"On the eve of the 3rd Arab-Israeli war in June 1967, King was evacuated its battle fleet taking shelter in Turkey 16 Phantom fighter-bombers to prevent Egypt can use them in raids programmed against Israel, "said the former head of the Egyptian daily" Al-Ahram ".
"Jordan lamented the loss of six soldiers in that war. King has not fought, preferring yield without fighting the West Bank to Israel, half of the territory of his kingdom, so getting rid of a nationalist home that could threaten the stability of the Hashemite Bedouin seated throne, "said t he said.Recidivist, King Hussein in October 1973 will fly to Tel Aviv to inform directly the Israeli prime minister at the time Golda Meir preparations for the offensive Syrian Egyptian assert further Mr. Haykal.
In another article, Jim Hoagland, an influential Washington Post columnist, said that King Hussein was paid by the CIA ("on the CIA payroll"), which literally means the voter list during the 1970s and he did not hesitate to ally Syrian President Hafez Assad in the 1980s, and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. This article entitled "Another Royal Mistake in Jordan?" Has been played by the International Herald Tribune, dated 1 February 1999.
According to the Egyptian journalist, American President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981) personally informed the American reporter Ben Bradley, editor of the Washington Post, and his collaborator Bob Woodward, one of the developers of the Watergate scandal in the Nixon era , the presence of King Hussein of Jordan among active CIA agents in the Middle East.
The revelations of Mohamad Hassanein Heikal on the connivance of the two countries with the Western intelligence services have sparked a backlash from both monarchies leading to a boycott of the Arab border line, but no one in his two kingdoms ventured to challenge the two monarchies on their alleged connections with the intelligence services believed to be the enemies of the Arab world.
It was the same when the transarabe newspaper "Al Quds al Arabi", appearing in London, announced September 25, 2009, the Moroccan Foreign Minister Taieb Fassi Fihri met his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman, New York on the sidelines of the annual session of the General Assembly of the United Nations.
While Saudi Arabia declared its rejection of any normalization with Israel before a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israeli dispute, and that Egypt, a signatory to a peace treaty with Israel limited its contacts Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barack, scuttling the annual meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean in Turkey in late October to block the road to the presence of the Israeli foreign minister who is said to be one of Israel's leaders most xenophobic in Israeli history, the head of the Moroccan diplomacy legitimized and sly character ostracized by the Arab countries and some of its Western allies, although this information has raised any comment from Morocco.
Haykal said that the Egyptian leadership was seriously concerned military leaks and he was greatly surprised to discover that one of the indicators of American services was an Arab king. He blames the lack of reliability of some Arab leaders a share of Arab military defeats. This could explain that.
Many other similar examples could be cited infamy elsewhere in the Arab world. But only two Arab leaders claiming descent from the Prophet darlings of America, favor the survival of the throne, at the risk of sacrificing the long-term interests of the Arab world, in alliance with the official enemy of Arab world, sheds new light on the Arab collapse and the marginalization of the Arab world that followed in the management of world affairs.
