Through these compelling photographs, the spirit of the Hirak protest in the Rif region of Morocco is vividly captured. The Hirak movement emerged in 2016, sparked by the death of a fishmonger and subsequent frustrations over socio-economic marginalization and government neglect.
The images portray the massive protests, with thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets demanding social justice, improved living conditions, and an end to corruption. They reflect the energy, determination, and unity of the protesters as they made their voices heard, igniting a national conversation about systemic inequalities.
