Mohamed El Ouafa (Arabic: محمد الوفا; 1948 – 27 December 2020) was a Moroccan diplomat and politician of the Istiqlal Party.

He was Minister of Education in Abdelilah Benkirane's cabinet.[1]

Life

[edit]

Between 2000 and 2012 he was Ambassador to India, Iran, and Brazil.[1][2][3][4]

In April 2013, while King Mohammed VI was on vacation in France, Hamid Chabat Secretary-General of the Istiqlal Party announced his intentions to leave the coalition that forms the cabinet of Abdelilah Benkirane. Consequently, a resignation request was submitted on 9 July 2013 for all the Party's ministers.

El Oufa died from COVID-19 at age 72, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Morocco.[5]
