Germany Updates Morocco Travel Advice as Youth Protests Persist

The guidance reflects continued unrest driven by GenZ 212 demonstrations over public services and government spending priorities.

Overview

  • Germany’s Foreign Office advises travelers to avoid demonstrations and large gatherings and to reduce movement after dark in Moroccan cities.
  • ADAC says package holidays will rarely qualify for cost‑free cancellation unless extraordinary circumstances such as full closures of sights apply.
  • Protests, now in their second week, have spread to Agadir, Casablanca and Rabat, with organizers relying heavily on online coordination.
  • Authorities report three demonstrators shot dead in Lqlia near Agadir, about 409 arrests and roughly 300 injured security personnel.
  • The GenZ 212 movement calls for better health care and education and voices anger over World Cup–related spending, with recent outrage fueled by reported maternal deaths in Agadir.
