Significant Promotion for Prince Moulay El Hassan
On May 2, 2026, King Mohammed VI of Morocco made a noteworthy announcement regarding the appointment of Prince Moulay El Hassan as the new coordinator of the offices and services of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces (FAR). This significant role, which was previously held by the king himself, emphasizes the royal family's ongoing commitment to military leadership and national defense. The appointment of the Crown Prince not only marks a pivotal moment in his career but also reflects a historical and symbolic continuity within the Moroccan monarchy.
According to the official statement released by the royal cabinet, Prince Moulay El Hassan will now oversee the coordination of various military offices as part of his responsibilities within the FAR. This move is particularly important as it mirrors the similar path taken by King Mohammed VI when he was appointed to this role in 1985, following the decision of his father, the late King Hassan II. Such appointments serve to strengthen the connection between the royal family and the nation's military, ensuring that leadership is passed down through generations.
The Role of the Military Under King Mohammed VI

The official communication emphasized the foundational principles guiding the actions of the troops, highlighting their dedication to maintaining order and discipline within the armed forces. The historical motto of the Moroccan army, "God, the Homeland, the King," remains a central tenet of their operations, showcasing their unwavering loyalty and commitment to serving the nation.
