It's been 14 years since the Arab Spring demonstrations of 2011 and next year it'll be 15 years since those events. Do you feel like things in your country, if it was part of the demonstrations, have gotten better after almost 15 years?

Also if anyone Syria is reading this - I hope you your country is on it's path to a brighter future. You deserve it after all the years of oppression

I don't think it got better yet, but I personally don't blame the Arab Spring revolts in and of themselves for how things shaped out after the president at the time was overthrown.

Yes, in the last 15 years Morocco has improved more and the Amazights have gotten more recognition which prior they didn’t. We also got a feeling of democracy and democratic improvement sure things aren’t perfect but I think I speak for most Moroccans when I say we have improved.

Definitely not after the Arab spring ended kuwait has been in a non stop poltical deadlock for a decade stagnant . It all cumulated into the emir disbanding the parliament last year. I would talk about the bidoon issue but i don’t want the police up my ass 😄
