National Union of Popular Forces
The National Union of Popular Forces (French language, Union Nationale des Forces Populaires, UNFP) was founded in 1959 in Morocco by Mehdi Ben Barka and his entourage, because they found that the Istiqlal Party - which had led the independence struggle - wasn't radical enough. Espousing socialist policies, the party took a strongly critical line towards the ruling monarchy, and consequently faced severe police repression by interior minister general Oufkir.
