Description

Thousands of protesters have participated in rallies in cities around Morocco, demanding social and economic reforms.

They call for end to corruption, and want more jobs for the increasing number of university graduates who face joblessness.

The peaceful protests are predominately working class in tone, demanding constitutional reforms and new parliamentary elections.

The marches were organized by the February 20 movement, which has led
protests for the past two months, with support from Morocco's best-known
Islamist movement, Adl wal Ihsan, which is barred from politics in the
kingdom.

Morocco's King Mohammed VI has already pledged changes to the constitution for the first time in 15 years, but protesters remain sceptical about the possibility of real change.
