Dounia Filali Exposes Elysee’s Rift with Morocco’s Monarch and His Corrupt Entourage

Algiers, Algeria | A storm is brewing in Franco-Moroccan relations, and this time the thunder strikes at the very heart of the monarchy. Moroccan journalist Dounia Filali has revealed, citing credible sources, that the Élysée Palace is increasingly dissatisfied with King Mohammed VI and the corrupt web surrounding him. The reason: the royal holding and its sprawling network of companies are no longer just economic giants — they are direct rivals to French business elites tied to the power structures in Paris.

According to Filali, what was once a privileged alliance has morphed into a tense and delicate balance, with the King’s entourage perceived as a predatory force undermining France’s long-cultivated economic interests in the kingdom. The Élysée, while still clinging to Mohammed VI for the moment, is exploring alternatives, quietly gauging whether another figure could safeguard French influence without the baggage of a monarchy tainted by scandal and unchecked greed.

The “Ben Arafa” Scenario Revisited

Filali goes further, suggesting that Mohammed VI’s position on the throne is far from secure. If Paris identifies a more compliant candidate capable of guaranteeing its political and economic stakes, she argues, the King could be ousted in the blink of an eye — “not a minute longer on the throne.” The specter of Mohammed Ben Arafa, the French-backed monarch who replaced Sultan Mohammed V in the 1950s, looms large as a historical precedent.

A Media Offensive on the Horizon

Signs of this growing discontent are already visible. Filali predicts that major French media outlets will soon launch hard-hitting investigations exposing the inner rot of the Moroccan regime, from systemic corruption to the King’s notorious private escapades. Recent rehashed gossip in French outlets about the monarch’s personal life, she notes, are not trivial — they are trial balloons, signals from Paris to Rabat that the pressure can be turned up at will.

Filali concludes that the anonymous online account “Jabarout” may play a pivotal role in the information war, much like the explosive “Chris Coleman leaks” of the past, which unveiled Morocco’s shadowy diplomatic dealings. If the leaks prove substantial, the Moroccan palace could face a credibility crisis not only at home but also on the international stage.

The implications are stark: Mohammed VI, long cushioned by French protection, now faces a precarious future shaped by the very ally that once guaranteed his reign. The image of an untouchable monarch has begun to crumble under the weight of corruption, arrogance, and economic rivalry.
