Demanding a new Morocco
How far will protesters in the North African country go and will it become another Tunisia or Egypt?

For nine weeks, there have been marches calling for a new Morocco. Sunday saw another major gathering, with thousands swarming streets across the country.
Inside Story presenter Emike Umolu discusses with guests: Lahcen Haddad, a professor at Mohamed the Fifth University in Rabat; Stefan Simanowitz, a journalist specialising in North Africa; and Hilana Rizki, a member of the February 20 protest movement.
