Morocco watches nervously as Egypt erupts
AFP: Morocco watches nervously as Egypt erupts: "Morocco is watching nervously as other North African countries erupt in revolt, with warnings even from within the royal family that it will probably not be spared.
Morocco 
has not been touched, yet, by the violent protests that have ended the rule of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, threaten Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and have shaken Algeria's Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
'But we mustn't be deceived, almost every authoritarian systems will be affected by this wave of protest, Morocco will probably be no exception,' a cousin of King Mohammed VI warned in an interview published Monday.
'It remains to be seen whether the revolt is just social or also political, and if the political parties act under the influence of the recent events,' Prince Moulay Hicham told the Spanish daily El Pais.
The 46-year-old, third in line to the throne, is nicknamed the 'red prince' because of his criticism of the monarchical system in Morocco."
