Morocco has seen days of protests across several cities, sparked by demands for better healthcare, education, and government reforms. A youth-led group known as GenZ 212 reportedly played a key role in mobilizing the demonstrations online.
So far, over 400 people have been arrested and nearly 300 injured.
On Wednesday night near Agadir, tensions escalated when a group tried to break into a police station in Lqliaa. Authorities claimed the attackers were armed and attempted to seize weapons. Officers responded with live ammunition, resulting in two deaths and several injuries. A judicial inquiry is now underway.
According to AFP, rallies were held in cities like Casablanca, Tangier, and Tetouan. Though some were peaceful, others turned violent. In Sale, protesters set police cars and a bank on fire. Local reports also mentioned vandalism in areas not marked for protests by GenZ 212.
The unrest continues as citizens call for dignity, justice, and an end to corruption.
