Morocco’s GenZ 212 Extends Protests to Eighth Day as Diaspora Rallies in France

Diaspora rallies in Paris plus Marseille highlight rising support for a youth-led push for better public services.

Overview

  • GenZ 212 called fresh demonstrations on Oct. 4 in 14 Moroccan cities, scheduled from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time.
  • The movement grew from outrage over the reported deaths of eight pregnant women at Agadir’s public hospital after admission for cesarean sections.
  • Organizers present the collective as politically unaffiliated with unknown founders and a Discord community of more than 180,000 members.
  • GenZ 212 maintains its gatherings are peaceful and rejects any form of violence, rioting, or destruction.
  • Authorities say gendarmes killed three people in Lqliaâ near Agadir during an alleged attempt to seize weapons, while solidarity rallies drew about 400 people in Paris and roughly 100 in Marseille with signs such as “Corruption stop” and “anti CAN.”
