M'hamed Ababou

M'hamed Ababou (; 1938 – 10 July 1971) was a senior Moroccan Army officer. Along with General Mohamed Medbouh he instigated an attempted coup against King Hassan II on 10 July 1971.

M'hamed Ababou was the director of the Ahermoumou military non-commissioned officer training school. It is reported that Ababou was only wounded in this clash but had asked a fellow conspirator to shoot him so that he would not be taken alive.

M'hamed Ababou had two brothers in the military; Mohamed (his elder by 4 years) with whom he co-organized the attempted coup and who would die in detention in 1976; and Chief Sergeant Abdelziz Ababou (his younger brother) who died during the coup itself.
