BBC interview with Zineb Belmkaddem from the #Feb20 Rabat!

Zineb Belmkaddem, a member of the February 20^th Movement  in Rabat, provides an excellent overview of the current state of the February 20^th movement and the peaceful protests for democracy. She describes the movement as leaderless and democratic. Zineb says: “Every time we come out, it becomes clear that we first want to achieve freedom of expression… and then our demands such as a democratic constitution and a parliamentary monarchy.” Zineb adds: “We’re just trying to get our right to protest peacefully without being killed.” In interview, the BBC journalist invites Zineb to listen to a statement by Prince Moulay Hicham who explains that ‘….for the monarchy to be preserved, it needs to install significant changes that ultimately would lead the monarchy down the path of a constitutional monarchy…’ Zineb agrees with Prince Moulay Hicham by reiterating the movement’s demand for a parliamentary monarchy. She also adds that despite the oppression that it has faced, the Feb20 movement has not radicalized. Enjoy the full interview below:
