Violent GenZ 212 Youth Protests Spark Nationwide Clashes, Hundreds Arrested in Morocco
Youth-led protests in Morocco, organized mainly by the anonymous group GenZ 212, have entered their fourth day, demanding improvements in education, healthcare, and social services while opposing corruption and government spending on projects like FIFA World Cup stadiums. Initially peaceful, demonstrations escalated into violent clashes with police across multiple cities including Ait Amira, Inzegane, Oujda, and Rabat, involving stone-throwing, vehicle destruction, arson, and looting. The Moroccan Association for Human Rights has accused security forces of excessive force and arbitrary arrests, with hundreds detained and some still under investigation. Despite condemning the violence, GenZ 212 reaffirmed its commitment to peaceful protest and social reforms. The government has expressed willingness for institutional dialogue, though analysts doubt the feasibility given the movement's leaderless nature, and authorities have noted attempts at disinformation campaigns to inflame tensions. The unrest raises concerns about Morocco's preparedness to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, though the Confederation of African Football denies any current plans to change the tournament's venue.
