Moroccan Intifada of 1984

The 1984 uprising in Morocco, also known as the Bread Uprising, the Hunger Uprising or the Students' Uprising, it is a group of protest movements that broke out on January 19, 1984 in a group of Moroccan cities, and reached its climax in the cities of Al Hoceima, Nador, Tetouan, Ksar el Kebir and Marrakesh. The events broke out in the beginning with student demonstrations, before other social strata joined them. The protests came in an economic context marked by the beginning of Morocco's implementation of the tedious structural adjustment policy, at the time, by the International Monetary Fund, whose repercussions were the high cost of living and the application of additional fees for education. The protests were met with great security violence and widespread arrests. 200 were killed in the uprising. Social protests had occurred throughout 1982-1983 while mass protests and labour strikes occurred weeks before the national rebellion.[1][2][3]
