Event: Lecture Series: The Hirak Protests and the Diaspora
Time: 5:00 – 7:00PM
Date: 11/12/19
Location: IAB 1512
Description: In 2017, Morocco witnessed the largest social protests since the so-called ‘Arab Spring’. Unlike then, the focal points now lay in the marginalized rural periphery, especially in the Rif, the Mediterranean coastal region in the North. Here, a massive protest movement, the Hirak ar-Rif, formed after the death of a poor fishmonger in the port city Alhoceima, who had allegedly died on orders from corrupt police officers, in October 2016. In open assemblies, the movement elaborated a manifesto that first and foremost brought forward very detailed socio-economic demands. Some of these demands, like the demand of the establishment of a hospital with an cancer treatment center, point to colonial history: The cancer rate in the Rif – apparently the highest in the Morocco – is most likely a result of remnants of mustard gas that the Spanish army deployed massively in the war against the Rif Republic (1921 – 1926). Proclaimed by its charismatic leader Abdelkrim al-Khattabi, the Rif Republic was not only the first anti-colonial nationalist project on the African continent, it also challenged the authority of the Moroccan sultan. Food will be served.
