The need for a revolution in morocco

   Since the Arab Spring, starting in 2011 and lasting tell this day, the talks about revolution in Morocco grow louder and louder. Enforced by the economical crisis and the high living costs and fueled by the community’s outrage against the corruption sweeping the kingdom, the talks gathered momentum. However, one question remains: Do we, Moroccans, really desire a pointless revolution?

   

    Even before the chaotic Arab Spring, the debate over change was subject matter in the Moroccan political avenue and community. And Moroccan, both politicians and commoners, believe that change is a one-step at a time process not a sudden and violent change, which will destabilize the country. This instability is what all post revolution countries akin to Tunisia, Libya and Syria are living currently. The former example of these countries shows what sudden eruptive revolution/change might cause, and a revolution, even at its ideal state, would result in instability of the state involved.

   Then, if we did not revolt, one might ask, things will never change? Maybe, but a blood-shed rebellion is the last thing we need. Instead, Moroccans should bring about change peacefully, and a cultural revolution is the first step to the investable change. What is a cultural revolution some might ask? It is a first step toward change. What is more is that it is a revolution which will enlighten the people of Morocco and increase their level of awareness; thus, erase illiteracy and total ignorance. In other words, the more we educate, the more we get closer to achieving our revolution because if the citizens of Morocco are aware of both their Rights and Duties, they will neither find trouble fighting for them nor respecting them.

                                So, what type of revolution do you want?
