Moroccan Olympic Champion Aouita Embroiled in Public Family Feud
Sunday 14 April 2019, by
The case of the incessant misunderstandings between former Moroccan champion Said Aouita and his father has recalled others, and the least we can say is that the dirty laundry is not really washed in the family.
Recently again, Saïd Aouita’s father had made a very remarkable media outing where he accuses his son, a gold medalist at the 1984 Olympics, of mistreatment and disobedience. And Aouita (the son) had responded, accusing the media in this situation where he would have certain ambitions and that he would do without sticks in the wheels. The latter even accuses his father of being a drug addict and an alcoholic. Also indicating that he isolated himself.
And here is the newspaper Al Akhbar putting back on the table several other stories with the same ingredients of rather extreme family dissensions, demonstrating at the same time that the case of the Aouitas is anything but isolated.
Lahcen Jakhoukh would have a lot to say in this niche. He officially accused his son, Tarik, as well as other family members, of corruption and embezzlement. Prison case for the son... The Aouita case no longer seems very serious.
And in a family of religious people, a father who disowns his son... Cheikh Fizazi was abandoned by his father, very early on, when he was still a child. The Sheikh, who never stops making headlines (currently complaining of a Shiite conspiracy and media traps against him), would have been raised by other family members. And that’s not all! After the conviction of Sheikh Fizazi with the Casablanca attacks, his father would even have boasted of his early (and unfounded) initiative, by sharing it with the former leader of the PJD Sheikh Mohamed El Amine Boukhabza.
Stati Abdelaziz would even have disowned his daughter, Ilham El Arbaoui, throwing her out of the family. The reason... Her musical choices! For the virtuoso of the violin and Chaâbi, music comes before anything else, in all likelihood, according to Al Akhbar.
The media also talks about the conversion to Christianity of Mohamed Benabdeljalil. Which would have greatly displeased his parents, conservatives. And who only organized symbolic funerals to signify the death. Let’s remember that he was a Moroccan Catholic priest.
