Signs of Crisis Escalate in Morocco on Multiple Fronts

The signs of crisis within Morocco are mounting on multiple fronts, as the Makhzen regime continues to fail to respond to the demands of broad segments of society, resorting instead to a policy of ignoring and stalling, and often resorting to repression and intimidation.

In the latest manifestation of this situation, the Court of Appeal in Oujda issued sentences ranging from three months to five years of imprisonment for dozens of citizens in connection with youth protests. Human rights organisations considered this further evidence of the reliance on a punitive approach in dealing with social protests.
The situation doesn’t end there. Tensions continue to rise in the university environment, with the expulsion of students at Ibn Tofail University in Kenitra sparking widespread anger. This comes amidst accusations that the authorities are targeting student union activity and attempting to subject the university to a repressive security-based approach.
