Moroccan Prince Expelled from Tunisia Ahead of Arab Spring Conference

Invited to the conference on the Arab Spring, organized by the French media Le Monde diplomatique, Prince Moulay Hicham was unable to attend. As soon as he arrived at Tunis airport, the police prevented the cousin of King Mohammed VI and his wife from entering the country, without justifying this decision. He still participated remotely in the conference by giving a presentation on the theme of the Arab Spring, its genesis and its consequences, particularly in Tunisia.

From the outset, the cousin of King Mohammed VI explained that he wanted to be among the guests to participate in this precious symposium on the current state of the Arab Spring and its prospects, but the force majeure they are experiencing prevented him from attending. "This is a special occasion for me for two reasons: first, I have a lot of love and a deep attachment to Tunisia as a culture and civilization [...] as well as my strong attachment to Le Monde Diplomatique."
