The consequences of the social unrest in Al Hoceima have been emerging lately. Reportedly, and according to the Guardian, Moroccan young people in the Rif region are «fueling exodus to Europe» by crossing the Mediterranean to flee persecution. The same analysis was made by «Caminando Fronteras», a Spanish NGO that supports migrants.
Hundreds of people took the streets on Saturday, 28th of October in Paris, the Netherlands and Spain to commemorate the death of Mohcine Fikri. One year after his murder, Moroccans in the three European countries gathered to call for the release of Hirak detainees and protest against the situation in the Rif region.
