Frightened by developments in North Africa, the Moroccan king, Mohammed VI, has decided to make his move. A few days ago announced a reform of the Constitution to grant more freedoms to its people. But the opposition has not adhered to democratic reform, which considers very shallow. How many commentators will Mohamed VI jailed for having doubted his intentions openings?
What luck for Moroccan neighbors if Mohamed follow the example of his "Uncle" Juan Carlos! But that is another story. Mohamed VI is in a precarious situation. On one side is the democratic opposition, which demands freedom for Morocco, and other threat of Islamic fundamentalism (Al Qaeda), which has the objective to eliminate the Arab leaders, which they consider corrupt, the first step to conquer the West or regain territories that Arabs consider their own, like Spain.
When things go wrong in Morocco, the king out of his sleeve wildcards: Ceuta, Melilla, the Sahara and the Canary Islands. So join the people and diverts attention from the problems.
