The Guides of Fez

The couragious guides of fez: defying danger on a daily basis

2020 - MAROCCO

On a hot summer day, protests erupted on the central square of Fez, Morocco. Thousands of people had gathered to protest the government’s policy, which had taken away their licenses.

The guides were furious. For many of them, being a guide was their only source of income, and they supported entire families with it. But when prices were raised, they lost their licenses. The guides were convinced that this was the result of corruption within the government.

They had no choice but to protest, despite the fact that it was extremely dangerous in this region. But they were determined to have their voices heard and to assert their rights.

The protests lasted for several days and became increasingly fierce. The guides were not going to give up, despite the threat of repression by the authorities. They continued to demonstrate on the central square, surrounded by a sea of people supporting them.

In the end, the authorities listened to the guides and a compromise was reached. The licenses were returned and the prices were reversed. It was a hard-won victory for the guides, but it was also an important step forward in the fight against corruption.

The guides were grateful for the support of the local population and relieved to be able to rebuild their lives. They were proud of what they had achieved and hoped that their action would be an example for other communities in the country.

The sun beat down mercilessly on the crowded streets of Fez, Morocco as the protest erupted on the main square. Thousands of people had gathered, united in their outrage at the government’s policy of taking away the licenses of local guides.

For many of these people, being a guide was their only source of income. They relied on it to support their families, a deeply important theme in Moroccan culture. But when the prices were raised, their licenses were taken away. The guides were convinced that this was the result of a corrupt policy, one that prioritized profit over the well-being of the people.

Despite the danger of protesting in this region, the guides were determined to have their voices heard. They took to the streets, chanting and waving signs as they demanded justice. The demonstration grew in size and intensity as more and more people joined in, determined to stand up for what was right.

The authorities tried to suppress the protest, but the guides were undaunted. They continued to march and speak out, determined to fight for their rights and the well-being of their families. In the end, their efforts paid off. The licenses were returned and the prices were reversed, a hard-won victory for the guides and a powerful example of the resilience of the human spirit.
