Entre els internautes, les reaccions es dividien entre els qui secunden els manifestants i els qui, com Ghali Bensouda, veien les protestes com a instruments de les faccions polítiques radicals del principalment juvenil Moviment del 20 de Febrer, que ha dirigit les protestes prodemocràtiques al país durant els últims deu mesos.
Among netizens the reactions were split between those who supported the protesters, and those who, like Ghali Bensouda, saw in the protest the instrumentalisation by radical political factions of the youth-based February 20 movement, who has been leading the pro-democracy protests in the country for the last 10 odd months.
