From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flag of the Rif Republic (1921-1926)

Morocco, currently a monarchy, has known some attempts to establish republican forms of government. Some of those attempts are continuing to this day:

Current republicanism in Morocco

[edit]

Both inside and outside Morocco there are many active Moroccan anti-monarchy activists and dissidents in exile who openly criticise the monarchy or advocate for the creation of a "Republic of Morocco" and for the removal or toppling of the Moroccan monarchy through a popular revolution.

The Moroccan authorities continue to crack down on any movement or persons who advocate republicanism or question the legitimacy of the monarchy.[6][7][8][9] As a result, many Moroccan republicanists are active outside Morocco, in Europe or North America often with self-imposed exile.

Currently, the Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane Islamist movement, and Democratic Way marxist group are the main republicanist movements in Morocco.
