Pulse
MENA politics is fluid. Parties merge, split, reform; leaders are elected, dismissed, or killed; regimes fall. The party and politician pages capture the dataset as it stands now; Pulse captures the movement — what just happened, what's under way, what's rumored but not yet formal. Each event carries a confidence rating and the same per-field source citations as every other Tayyar entity.

Morocco September 8, 2021 Morocco: PJD collapses, RNI wins — Islamists fall from 125 seats to 13
After a decade in government, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) lost more than 90% of its parliamentary seats in a single election. The National Rally of Independents (RNI), led by billionaire Aziz Akhannouch, won the most seats and formed the next government. The collapse was widely read as voters punishing the PJD for accepting normalization with Israel earlier that year — a deal King Mohammed VI signed in exchange for US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.

February 20 Movement and Moroccan constitutional reform
Pro-reform protests across Morocco starting 2011-02-20 prompted King Mohammed VI to announce a new constitution (passed July 2011) that nominally devolved some powers to parliament. The PJD won the subsequent election; the reforms preserved monarchic primacy but defused the Arab Spring's immediate pressure.

Events are tracked the same way as parties and politicians: per-field source citations, verification status, last-reviewed-by.
