It turns out that Mohammed VI, Morocco’s 54-year-old King, would rather rule at kickboxing than sit around on a boring throne all day doing “kingly” things. That’s the bizarre story floating around, at least. It’s a story about a king who’s gone AWOL after his obsession with a new group of young, sports-minded friends took centerstage in his royal life.
As the King globetrots and becomes an Instagram star, his kingdom is in peril, and Morocco is on the verge of an uprising. And nobody knows where the heck he is…
Five years ago, an unusual image appeared on Instagram. It showed Mohammed VI, the 54-year-old king of Morocco, sitting on a sofa next to a muscular man in sportswear. The two men were pressed up next to each other with matching grins like a pair of kids at summer camp. Moroccans were more accustomed to seeing their king alone on a gilded throne.
The story behind the picture was even stranger. Abu Azaitar, the 32-year-old man sitting next to the king, is a veteran of the German prison system as well as a mixed-martial-arts (mma) champion. Since he moved to Morocco in 2018 his bling-filled Instagram feed has caused the country’s conservative elite to shudder. It’s not just the flashy cars, it’s the strikingly informal tone in which he addresses the monarch: “Our dear King,” he wrote next to one photo of the two of them together. “I can’t thank him enough for everything he has done for us.”
A crisis is brewing in Morocco, and the beaming kickboxer is at the heart of it. The country is regarded as one of the Arab world’s success stories. It has a thriving car industry and its medieval souks and tranquil riads beguile Western tourists. Morocco seems to have all the charm of the Middle East and none of its turmoil.
The good people of Morocco are not amused by their new royal kickboxer. While King Mohammed is wailing away on a punching bag, his subjects are saddled with soaring inflation, a cruddy job market, and severe government oppression. They’re growing more and more restless and angry as the days drudge on.
Thus far, the King has managed to keep his country relatively calm and avoid an uprising. However, while he’s distracted by kickboxing and MMA, tensions in Morocco are rising. Many experts believe the King’s luck is about to run out, and he’s nowhere to be found.
MMA champ Abu Azaitar is not just a distraction, he and his brothers are a very big problem—so much so that the King’s officials have gone to great lengths to curb his power, including planting unflattering stories about him in the press.
Unfortunately for them, their efforts haven’t worked and the king has not been swayed.
Mohammed is not just distracted – he is often entirely absent. He liked to travel and take holidays before he met the Azaitars but the tendency appears to have become much more pronounced. Sometimes he cloisters himself with the brothers in a private ranch in the Moroccan countryside. Sometimes the group escapes to a hideaway in west Africa. When Gabon palls – “so boring, there’s a beach but nothing else to do,” moans one member of the entourage – they descend on Paris. One former official estimates that the king was out of the country for 200 days last year.
The friendship between the two men has definitely benefited the King’s health.
As their friendship deepened, Azaitar began to post photographs of himself with the king. He and his brothers joined the king’s itinerant household – as his “personal trainers”, officials were reportedly told – and brought their family and friends with them. In some ways, the friendship has been salutary. The king, who was somewhat overweight at the time he met the brothers, has suffered from asthma and pulmonary complaints. The cage fighters installed a gym in the palace and he started to work out. His face began to lose its puffiness, and he looked increasingly relaxed, almost fit.
This is the King before he became friends with Abu, back in 2016.
Here’s the king now, looking much healthier and younger, even.
This is a photo of the King and Abu together in 2018, when they first met.
Clearly, these two men share a close bond over fitness, health, and other “manly” things, and there’s nothing wrong with that — more men should seek out those type of relationships.
But according to the Economist, King Mohammed is a very shy and reserved man. He’s been in power since 1999 and he’s never held a press conference. On the rare occasions when he has to speak publicly, he often fumbles his words and seems unsure of himself.
It’s almost as if Mohammed would rather be a regular guy who just hangs out with his friends.
However, in his current position, that decision could have very dire consequences.
