He closed Parliament, cracked down on all political activity and reverted to the autocratic ways of his Alaouite ancestors, who swept out of the desert to establish their dynasty in the 17th century. He is now his own Prime Minister, army chief and Amir al Moumineen (Commander of the Faithful). He relies on his 27 Cabinet ministers primarily for background briefings and good fellowship, makes most government...
