 Born in Fes, El Hajoui was part of a very prestigious Moroccan family. 
        His father was minister of Justice, and he was governor of Oujda for 17 
        years. During the protectorate he sided with the French, but remained 
        governor of Oujda after independence, before he retired to Fes (this information 
        can be found in : Dictionnaire des celebrites marocaines, etabli 
        et coordonne par Mohammed Hajji, 1996)
