Abdelfattah Louarak (Template:Lang-ar; born c. 1955 )[1] is a Moroccan army General. On 18 January 2017, he was appointed by king Mohammed VI as the professional chief-of-staff of the Moroccan army (Inspector of the Armed Forces), succeeding in this capacity, General Bouchaib Arroub.
Louarak was promoted by the king to the rank of 4 star general (Général de Corps d'Armée) on 31 July 2017.[1]
Not much is known about Louarak's career other than what a news website close to the Moroccan king's secretary Mounir Majidi published in an article,[1] which claims that Louarak was part of the 11th mechanized infantry regiment during the Western Sahara war and then was appointed in charge of human resources in the 3rd bureau, which Arroub headed for long time.[1]
