Youth-Led Protests Demand Moroccan Government Resignation Amid Social Crisis

News summary

Morocco has experienced a wave of youth-led protests spearheaded by the group GenZ 212, demanding better healthcare, education, employment, and an end to corruption. These protests, which have spread across major cities including Rabat, Casablanca, and Agadir, were sparked notably by the deaths of eight pregnant women at a public hospital in Agadir and dissatisfaction with government spending on the upcoming 2030 World Cup. The protesters have called for the resignation of Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch's government, accusing it of failing to protect constitutional rights and deliver essential public services. While the government, led by Akhannouch, has expressed willingness to engage in dialogue and address social demands, it has also condemned violence and taken measures to maintain public order. The protests have seen violent episodes, including the deaths of three people during clashes with security forces, yet GenZ 212 has emphasized their commitment to peaceful demonstrations and rejected violence. Calls for King Mohammed VI to intervene have also emerged, as protesters seek a renewal of trust between citizens and the state amid ongoing political tension.
