Morocco’s youth-led collective, GenZ 212, announced on Saturday a temporary suspension of its ongoing protests, which have spanned two weeks and demanded significant reforms in the nation’s health and education sectors. The group described the pause as a strategic move to enhance organizational coordination, ensuring that the next phase of their movement is more impactful and effective. In a statement, GenZ 212 reiterated its core demands, emphasizing the need for accountability for corruption and government responsibility for the deteriorating social and economic conditions. The collective, which has garnered a substantial online following with over 200,000 members on Discord, plans to announce a new mobilization effort later Saturday, targeting the government and those obstructing the aspirations of the Moroccan people. The protests were initially sparked by public outrage over the deaths of eight pregnant women during Caesarean sections at a public hospital in Agadir, highlighting systemic issues in the healthcare sector. GenZ 212 has directly appealed to King Mohammed VI for reforms. In a recent speech, the monarch urged the government to accelerate development in education and health, though he did not directly address the protests. He emphasized Morocco’s commitment to social and territorial justice, particularly in its poorest regions.
