Driss Basri (Arabic: إدريس البصري, romanized: Idrīs al-Baṣrīy, 8 November 1938 – 27 August 2007) was a Moroccan politician who served as interior minister from 1979 to 1999.
[4] Dlimi advised Basri that if he was to be further promoted he needed a degree, he then enrolled in university and obtained a bachelor in law.
Basri was then appointed as Secretary of state for Interior Affairs in 1974, becoming Ahmed Dlimi's right-hand man.
Three months after Hassan II's death in 1999, Basri was dismissed by the newly-enthroned king Mohammed VI on 9 November 1999.
[4] Basri reportedly had an animosity with Fouad Ali El Himma, Mohammed's close friend from school.
[10][11] He was buried in Rabat on 29 August; then-interior minister Chakib Benmoussa was the only representative of the government at the funeral.
