My former intern (from a decade ago) was complaining to me today about the lack of leadership in the Gen-Z 212 movement in Morocco. I was trying to find out what SN had to say about it, but it's... not on SN?
The short version: there's a protest going on in Morocco, much like what happened in Nepal. The youth is asking the king to fire the government because they're corrupt and recently there were 6 cases of pregnant women dying because health care is bad. They've created a movement on social media, much like the 2010/2011 freedom protests throughout Northern Africa - it's organic this time though, no leaders.
Yesterday, two kids were shot by Police in the South:
Now, the Prime Minister is offering dialogue (after 6 days!) but I've chatted some people up and they said it will escalate further, because the PM is among those that the GenZers accuse of corruption.
It was on either on SN or nostr that I found out about it (can't find the post). Haven't seen anything on my usual daily mainstream media skim.
People naturally understand the need for good government.
It is essential people fight for good government otherwise corruption will continue and become more and more entrenched.
What corrupt politicians and governments love most is Libertarians who believe all governments are corrupt and so who GIVE UP on expecting demanding their governments eliminate corruption.
The price of freedom is constant vigilance.
