"These people suffering in silence and dragging on through the streets, are fed up of hanging around! / And what does HE do? he gathers his men to rearrange the constitution! There's enough for getting mad at it. / Do they want us to rise up and rip off our rights with weapons? It's me who has to decide who do I want to sacralize / And if you want to understand it, come and live with us: god, nation, LIBERTY!". Even just this last sentence could have meant detention for
Mouade Boulghade (age 24), moroccan rapper from
Al-Wifaq neighborhood in Casablanca, known as "Lhaqed" (L7a9ed),
the Angry One, in prison since last september. He changed the last line of the national anthem, singing "liberty" instead of "the king":
a symbolic attack more dangerous for the
Makhzen (the
absolute power that had been ruling Morocco during the last four centuries) than all the demonstrations and protests of the
20th february movement.
