Ahmed Dlimi (* 1931 in Sidi Kacem in Gharb-Chrarda-Béni Hsen , north-west Morocco , † January 22, 1983 ) was a general in the Royal Moroccan Army .

Life

He attended the Lycée Moulay Youssef in Rabat and then entered the military school of Casablanca . He took part in the smashing of the Liberation Army in the south and was promoted to major . In police work, Dlimi was considered a sadistic practitioner of developed interrogations .

Georges Figon gave a report to L'Express , which it published on January 10, 1966 under the title I saw Ben Barka killed . According to Figon's report, Dlimi reached a villa owned by George Boucheseiche in Fontenay-le-Vicomte before Mohammed Oufkir and announced that he wanted to kill Ben Barka.

When Dlimi was accused by a court in Paris of being involved in the enforced disappearance of Ben Barka, Dlimi surrendered to the Paris authorities on October 19, 1966. Dlimi was defended by three Moroccan lawyers: Ahmed Hamioni and Abdelkader Benjelloun were ministers of the interior and justice ministers respectively at the time of the July 1963 trial. Magid Benjelloum, as chief prosecutor in a case against Ben Barka, had advocated the death penalty against Ben Barka and Ben Barka was was sentenced to death in absentia in this trial. After Dlimi's arrival, a new process was started. Three accessory prosecution attorneys had died since the first trial. In a trial from April 19, 1967 to June 5, 1967, Dlimi was acquitted in Paris. Hassan II imposed 180 days of increased arrest against Dlimi and relegated him to colonel because he had left Morocco without his permission.

After the failed coup attempts in 1971 and 1972, Hassan II had numerous members of the opposition murdered and disappeared into dungeons for up to two decades. Dlimi managed to maintain the king's trust and remained an important pillar of the regime.

At the Green March , Dlimi was promoted to general. Officially, Dlimi died in a car accident. Ahmed Dlimi, as military governor of southern Morocco and Rami's free officers, had advocated a peace treaty with the Polisario Front. At least he was suspected by Hassan II of a conspiracy to establish an Arab Islamic Democratic Republic of Morocco . Relatives Dlimis died promptly from unknown circumstances.
