In a renewed surge of activism, Moroccan youth took to the streets of Casablanca and other cities on Thursday, reigniting their calls for sweeping governmental reforms. The protests, orchestrated by the ‘Gen Z 212’ movement, demand the dismissal of Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and a crackdown on corruption, alongside improved public services in health and education. This latest wave of demonstrations follows a brief midweek hiatus, strategically timed to culminate in a powerful display of dissent ahead of King Mohammed VI’s anticipated parliamentary address on Friday.
