Sultan May Be Ousted By French Move In Morocco
In Rabat, Morocco, French authorities plan to formally request Sultan Mohammed Ben Moulay Arafa to abdicate. The 74 year old ruler has held an ornamental throne since the dethronement of Moulay Youssef two years ago after nationalist ties and exile to Madagascar. Protests after Moulay Youssef’s ouster led to the Oued Zem massacre with 91 Europeans killed and French reprisals costing many Moroccan lives. An interview with General De Latour du Moulin is seen as the moment Paris will press the voluntary departure.
