But the military assault launched by the Moroccan monarch can have unexpected political consequences for his own unstable regime,
Already the most important opposition forces inside Morocco have responded to the revolutionary appeal of the Algerian government to overthrow Hassan II. They have publicly called for the defeat of the reaction= ary government they are cursed with, They are cheering for the victory of Algeria's revolutionary National People's Army.
If the Algerian Revolution spreads across the border into Morocco it would constitute a colossal blow to the whole neocolonialist structure supported in West Africa by de Gaulle, U.S. imperialism and Franco's fascist regime.
