Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.71,0:04:45.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Unfortunately, it's not true. If in Morocco everything can be bought and everything can be sold as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.86,0:04:49.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there is no need for a Constitution, no need for women's rights
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.52,0:04:54.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since parents, sons, husband can buy all women's rights.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.10,0:05:25.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, you have to ask yourself about that 99%? Did it fall from the sky?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.57,0:05:29.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Morocco, the national TV ignores any protest, any hardship.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.84,0:05:34.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not even Al Jazeera mentions them. Al Jazeera is not doing a good job there.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.52,0:05:41.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that Morocco... has been the most clever country so far.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.05,0:05:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Elections and Constitutional changes promoted by the King,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.03,0:05:52.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, no substantial change took place.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.43,0:05:57.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a joke. I am from Morocco, and I think it's a mockery.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.40,0:06:03.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Morocco is not yet ready, it needs to grow to become aware of the situation.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.92,0:06:07.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a movement that is doing something,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.56,0:06:09.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but is not enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.73,0:06:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sadly, Moroccan politicians are too sharp, too clever.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.46,0:06:18.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are able to exploit tools and media (like TV)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.15,0:06:22.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to convince the public opinion to support their regime.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.05,0:06:26.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, for the older generation is almost impossible
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.61,0:06:31.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to imagine a Morocco without a King.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.83,0:07:20.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that more than 50% of Tunisian revolution is due to the Internet.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.80,0:07:26.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Internet was paramount as a communication tool,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.19,0:07:29.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to ensure the success of this revolution.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.83,0:07:34.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this time social networks played a crucial role
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.42,0:07:40.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also because these revolts were promoted mostly by young people.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.20,0:07:46.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I followed the events on the Net, calling my family, on Facebook...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.33,0:07:50.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,... then on newspapers and Al Jazeera.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.12,0:07:55.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a feeling that they are speaking the truth, and indeed people trust Al Jazeera.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.51,0:08:01.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,TV in general is manipulated, being owned by private groups,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.80,0:08:08.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that have profit in mind and inform only about what they like.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.70,0:08:12.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As for National TV, as we know, the government has its own agenda
Dialogue: 0,0:08:12.56,0:08:16.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,regarding its own internal and foreign policy,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.28,0:08:23.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so State media are affected by this approach.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.81,0:08:27.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead, on the Net news sources are diversified.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.48,0:08:29.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For instance, on social networks young people in particular,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.93,0:08:38.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also the general public, can share first-hand information.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.43,0:08:41.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Internet now is a communication medium
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.19,0:08:48.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,...that can immediately reach millions of people.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.59,0:08:54.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can be a useful means, but we cannot give up the streets,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.02,0:08:58.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the streets are the real thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.64,0:09:03.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where all the events organized online will eventually take place.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:04.03,0:09:05.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Today we interact mainly online.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:05.76,0:09:09.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's inevitable, then, that if a revolution had to take place
Dialogue: 0,0:09:09.55,0:09:12.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was the way to conjure up people, especially youngsters.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.58,0:09:15.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because this movement included not only Tunisia or Egypt
Dialogue: 0,0:09:15.58,0:09:19.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the whole Mediterranean and the Middle East are bound together.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.51,0:09:23.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We speak the same language, so we are all connected.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:23.26,0:09:28.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Facebook, Twitter, are the fastest and better way to exchange information.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.48,0:09:33.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The social unrest was shared, so the media had to be shared as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.22,0:09:40.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I don't think that Facebook itself widened the revolt.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:40.78,0:09:44.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People must have been extremely distressed for something like this to happen.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.86,0:09:50.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The spark that ignited everything was the situation in Tunisia.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.36,0:09:54.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No one, nobody could have imagined what actually happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.15,0:09:58.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Everyone has the right to internet access,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.73,0:10:02.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and governments needs to understand this.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.85,0:10:05.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I went and I said that I would not be returned,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.98,0:10:08.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and wrote on all walls, that I would not be returned.
