Arabisc: Morocco’s Blind Declare War · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

In Morocco, a group of blind people are planning to stage a protest with a difference.
Blogger Dar Lakbira says that they have decided to wear shrouds when they march on February 7 to demand more rights and support from social services to draw attention to their plight, which includes not being able to secure jobs – despite a clear law which says that the disabled in Morocco should be given a priority in securing a job.
Dar Lakbira, which means the Big House in Arabic, doesn't hide his sympathy towards this sector of society, which he says suffer as much as other down-trodden sectors in his country.
Dar Lakbira then gives us an insight to the war the blind are planning to wage to get some of the rights guaranteed to them by the law.
