That is precisely why the regime has stamped hard on any type of performance assessment, because they know full well that he owns the country and that the whole state apparatus is there to protect his business interests. He embodies Morocco LTD. Mohammed is sacred like God but behaves like a Gangster. @Mike

You are absolutely spot on. That is precisely why the regime has stamped hard on any type of performance assessment, because they know full well that he owns the country and that the whole state apparatus is there to protect his business interests.

As I said on my blog (http://www.elhyani.net/ich-bin-ein-9/), this doesn't mean that we are against the king, or against his authority, nor that we make a bad judgement on his first decade of reign. Moroccans should be able, and free to express their opinion about the monarchy, the only authority that concentrates a substantial power in the moroccan political system. The meaning of “I’m a 9%” sounds a little bit confusing.
