General Ahmed Boutaleb (Arabic: أحمد بوطالب – born 1946 in Tahla, Taza province) is the Inspector of the Royal Moroccan Air Force.[2][3][4]
Ahmed Boutaleb joined the air force in 1964 as part of a new class of air force officers that were recruited after the 1963 sand war. In 1977 he held the rank of captain.[1]
Towards the end of Hassan II's reign, Boutaleb was appointed as the aide-de-camp of then crown prince Sidi Mohammed and was promoted sometime afterwards to the rank of Colonel Major then to his current position, replacing General Abdelaziz Alaoui M'rani.[2] He had started his career in the military as a C-130 pilot and was trained in the United States.[2]
Ahmed Boutaleb is from the Beni Ourain (also known as Beni Warain), a Zenata tribe of the region south of Taza.[4]
