Mohammed VI of Morocco (born 1963)
Born 1963 CE.
Mohammed VI (Mohammed ben El Hassan Al Alaoui; born 21 August 1963) is King of Morocco. A member of the Alawi dynasty, he has reigned since 1999. Mohammed was born during the reign of his father, King Hassan II. At an early age, he began partaking in public engagements on behalf of his father. Upon ascending to the throne following Hassan's death, Mohammed initially introduced several reforms and changed the family code to grant more rights to women in Morocco. In 2011, protests in Morocco that were considered part of the wider Arab Spring occurred against alleged government corruption. In response, Mohammed enacted several reforms and introduced a new constitution. These reforms were passed by public referendum on 1 July 2011.
