workingclasshistory:

On this day, 19 January 1984, protests began in the Rif area of northern Morocco against the introduction of baccalaureate subscription fees in public schools, which was mandated by a structural adjustment programme imposed by the International Monetary Fund. Students in the predominantly Amazigh (Berber) region were joined by workers and the unemployed in days of protests, which were met by savage repression from the regime of Hassan II, who described the poor people of the Rif as “awbash” – “savages” or “scum”. Troops killed and jailed hundreds repressing the movement. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1633587536826390/?type=3
