After nearly a year on strike, Morocco’s medical students returned to their classrooms. In Part 2 of my conversation with Iman, we explore the psychological toll of the student-led protest that shut down hospital rotations and classes nationwide. Iman recounts encounters with riot police, the losing two peers to suicide, and the what it took to keep going in the face of media pressure and silence. She discusses the hobbies she took up like learning Spanish, hypnosis, and trading, with her newfound time to keep busy. Then, with a new Minister appointed and a deal created, what did the students really win?
