Far too long since I have last written a blog entry here, and I'll only continue my travel report next time. I have been staying in Agadir with students for about a week now.While staying here I have visited the university(Université Ibn Zohr) a few times and while visiting for the first time(on the 10th), I saw students standing in a circle and chanting something. I didn't think much of it, but took a picture. Asking what this was about I was told they were protesting for students rights. It seemed like the usual protests we had in Germany; a peaceful demonstration which will be ignored in the end, so I forgot about it.
Then on the 17th one of the students here told me he had just come back from a demonstration at the university and police was there. Not just the normal police, but police that looks like army to me. He had escaped an arrest attempt but they had caught his friend. He told me one of the students had been imprisoned(in the past) for a year, just for protesting. It seems protests are happening all the time and I hear police sirens and whistleing students almost every day now (I heard them again while I was writing this, yesterday and just now again).
I took some pictures of the police too, but you can't see much, since I took the pictures from far away (I figured since they don't like reporters here in Morocco, it would not be smart being seen taking pictures of the police..). If you look carefully, you can see the guys in green though (in the middle of the first picture, the cars are all police cars):
