protests in several Moroccan cities call for democratic reforms





Rabat- Thousands of pro-democracy protesters are in the streets in Moroccan cities demanding political, economic and social reforms.

Protests in Morocco, announced for today, are getting a large turnout all over the country, with the greatest protest marches in Rabat and Casablanca - the kingdom's capital and its largest city. But also minor cities are seeing protest marches, including Marrakech, Tangier, Fez and Al-Hoceima

“we are calling for less power to King Mohammed VI and the introduction of a constitutional monarchy according to the Spanish or British model” said a Moroccan protester.

Anger is more directed against the government - appointed by the King - and the ruling class at large, including pervasive corruption in the country. Protesters demand more democracy, less corruption and deep-ploughing social reforms.
