Morocco Faces Unprecedented Youth-Led Protests
GenZ 212, a youth-driven movement, has taken Morocco by storm as thousands of young Moroccans transition from TikTok activism to the streets. These protests erupted over widespread corruption, failing public health systems, and deteriorating education standards. The movement, which started online, quickly captured national and international attention.
Protests Turn Violent as Youth Demand Change
Over the past week, the protests escalated, turning violent in several cities. Tragically, two people lost their lives, and authorities arrested hundreds. The government faces mounting pressure to address the root causes—corruption at various levels and a lack of investment in public services. Young people, organizing under the GenZ 212 banner, demand transparency, justice, and better opportunities for their future.
These events mark a significant turning point for Moroccan society as the younger generation’s voice becomes impossible to ignore.
