GenZ 212 Urges Moroccan Government’s Resignation as Youth Protests Reach Day Six

Officials move the first protest cases to court after a night of clashes that left three dead.

Overview

  • GenZ 212, a largely online youth collective, called for the government’s dissolution and a fair judicial process against corrupt officials after staging new rallies on Thursday.
  • Authorities say gendarmes killed three people in Lqliaâ in self‑defence during an attempted assault on a gendarmerie to seize weapons and munitions.
  • The Interior Ministry reports more than 350 injured—mostly security forces—plus extensive damage to vehicles and nearly 80 public and private sites.
  • Police have made over 400 arrests since earlier in the week; prosecutors set the first trial of 37 defendants for October 7 and say 97 more will also face proceedings.
  • GenZ 212 insists on peaceful mobilization and counts roughly 150,000 members on Discord, as the prime minister offers dialogue and the health minister concedes reforms remain insufficient.
