This is an ethnographic account of an unfinished, but continuous revolution in Morocco that I observed during my fieldwork in Tangier from February 2011 to December 2011. I recount the activities and strategies of the political movement that has come to be known as the 20 February Movement. The movement members, mainly young people, call for a transition to a constitutional monarchy and a democratic society based on freedom and social justice. The movement is part and parcel of the so-called Arab Spring that was triggered by a 26-year-old street vendor who burned himself in protest against police oppression in Tunisia. The narrative intends to give insights into the dynamics of a political movement in Morocco and its relation to the politics of the makhzen
