an old family friend is the King's Architect in Morocco, he has always spoken very highly of the king and his understanding of Morocco straddling two worlds. he really is an interesting man but on the other hand so enigmatic that he doesn't get the praise of say Jordan's very charismatic king.
of all the world's leaders he has escaped public definition more than almost anyone. i look forward to a day where his reign is open to examination.
i assume this choice was a very weighted one for him.
