A series of ongoing youth-led demonstrations in Morocco began on 27 September 2025. Organized by decentralized, anonymous collectives known as GenZ 212 [1] [a] and Morocco Youth Voice, the protests demanded significant improvements to public education and healthcare, while criticizing government spending on international sporting events like the 2030 FIFA World Cup and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. [3] [4] Protesters expressed discontent with the state of the economy, the deterioration of quality of public services, and state investment in infrastructure for international sporting events over public services. [5] They were the largest protests since the 2011–2012 Moroccan protests. [6]

Contents

Three protesters were shot dead after a Royal Gendarmerie station was stormed in Lqliâa. According to the Ministry of Interior, at least 409 protestors were arrested (most of whom were minors), 28 protestors were injured (including one in critical condition in Oujda), and 326 security forces were injured. Material damage included 271 police cars, 175 private cars, and the vandalism of more than 80 public establishments and private businesses. [7]

Background

The protests emerged against a backdrop of high youth unemployment, which official statistics placed at 35.8% [4] along with allegations of corruption and popular discontent over social inequality in Morocco. [5] [8] [9] More than half of Morocco's population is under 35 making Morocco experience a youth bulge. [10] Economic growth has averaged around 3% in recent years below the 6% that the country's development model set as a target. [11] Public anger intensified in September 2025 after eight women died during childbirth at a public hospital in Agadir, which was widely seen as highlighting the fragile healthcare system. [3] [12] [13] The incident led to Health Minister Amine Tahraoui  [ fr ] firing the director of the hospital and other regional health officials. [3] [14] [15]

According to the World Health Organization, Morocco has only 7.7 doctors per 10,000 people, with some regions such as Agadir registering 4.4 per 10,000, well below the recommended 25. [3] Morocco was criticized for its lack of public healthcare access. [5]

In the years leading up to the protests, Morocco experienced criticism of the education system. [5] Morocco has spent billions of dollars on infrastructure, with 38% of its GDP going to projects between 2001 and 2017. [16] Criticism was also expressed about the government's spending in constructing and renovating stadiums for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 FIFA World Cup, both of which are hosted or co-hosted by Morocco. [1] [3] This contrast in spending priorities fueled popular slogans such as "Stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?" [3] [17] Preparations for the 2030 FIFA World Cup generated controversy due to expropriations and public spending on stadiums and infrastructure considered non-essential by parts of the population, with animal welfare groups also highlighting the killing of stray dogs by authorities. [18] [19]

At the time of the protests, the Moroccan Dirham could not be converted into other global currencies, and thus weren't available outside of Morocco. The Moroccan Dirham could not be used in digital payments. The full integration of the Moroccan economy into the world market is hindered by the underdeveloped Moroccan currency system. [20]

Digital coordination and social demands

The GenZ 212  [ ar ] Discord server was launched by four users [13] on September 18 with fewer than 1,000 members at launch. [21] The server surged from 3,000 members [22] to about 250,000 members by 7 October [13] showing the rapid spread of the movement among youth. [22] Discord was chosen by GenZ 212 due to its decentralized nature and Moroccan police being unfamiliar with it. [13] In a statement on Discord, the GenZ 212 protest organizers said that "[t]he right to health, education and a dignified life is not an empty slogan but a serious demand." They cited King Mohammed VI, urged protesters to remain peaceful, and criticized the "repressive security approaches" by authorities. [1] The main coordinators said they desired to remain anonymous, saying it is " [b]ecause the country's security system is known for being bloody." [13] As the server's popularity grew, authorities infiltrated it and leading members relied on organizing through trusted users. [13] They shared their demands on social media including but not limited to nondiscriminatory free, high-quality education; nondiscriminatory, accessible public healthcare; more affordable and higher-quality housing; better public transit; price lowering and subsidies for basic goods; wage and pension improvements; providing especially youth populations with job opportunities; unemployment reduction; and the adoption of English as Morocco's second national language after Arabic, replacing French. [23]

Other demands include reduction in spending on sports infrastructure and action against institutional corruption. [18] Protestors have also called on prime minister Aziz Akhannouch to resign. [24] In a letter addressed to Mohammed VI, they called on him to dismiss the government and corrupt political parties, release detainees and convene a government forum to hold corrupt officials accountable. Despite the king's authority, they directed their opposition to government officials calling on the king to oversee reforms. [25]

The protest movements took inspiration from the Nepalese, Madagascar, and Peru Gen Z protests, as it was organized in a similar fashion; [6] organizers coordinated through Discord servers, which has been further fueled by TikTok and Instagram. [3] [6] [26]

On 29 September, demonstrations and clashes continued in Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh. New protests began in Agadir and at least seven other cities. [12] with several arrests being made after protesters blocked a major highway in Casablanca. [5] [28] Riot police and plainclothes officers intervened in several cities.

On 30 September, rioting, arson and stone-throwing were reported in several towns and cities, including Ait Amira, Inezgane, Agadir, Tiznit, Oujda, and Temara. In Ait Amira, a bank branch was set on fire and two police vehicles were overturned; running clashes with security forces also occurred. [29] [30] A 19-year-old protesting student at Mohammed First University in Oujda was struck by a police vehicle that deliberately swerved onto the sidewalk, according to video footage, and was hospitalized at CHU Mohammed VI Oujda  [ fr ] under critical condition, before undergoing amputation of one leg due to the incident, with the other leg developing a bacterial infection. [31] [32] [33] In Casablanca, authorities said that 24 people were facing judicial investigation over the previous day's highway blockade; in Rabat, dozens detained days earlier were released, pending investigation. [28] [30] GenZ 212 made a statement on Facebook expressing "regret over acts of rioting or vandalism that affected public or private property" whilst urging its participants to remain peaceful. [34]

On 1 October, the Interior Ministry announced an official toll: 263 security personnel injured, 23 protesters injured, and 409 people arrested. Authorities also reported damage to 142 police vehicles and 20 private cars. [35]

Under royal instructions, the 19-year-old who was struck by a police car in Oujda was airlifted to a military hospital in Rabat. [36] [37] In Casablanca, a march was held for the man. Tangier and Tetouan saw authorities use force to disperse demonstrators, while Casablanca refrained from using force for the first time since the protests began, adopting a more cautious approach to prevent escalation. [38]

Acts of vandalism occurred in the cities of Salé and Témara, targeting police vehicles and public and private property, including shopping centers and banks. [38] Additional local reports detail arrests and damage in Inezgane-Aït Melloul and other prefectures.[ citation needed ]

CCTV released by the Ministry of Interior showing the events in Lqliâa

Several Moroccan cities witnessed violent clashes between protesters and security forces on the night of 1 October. [29] [39] In Lqliâa, videos showed stone-throwing towards protesters and Royal Gendarmerie personnel. Violence and vandalism led to gunfire from the Gendarmerie. Three people died after being shot outside the Gendarmie station in Lqliâa. Local authorities in the Inezgane-Ait Melloul prefecture initially announced the deaths of two people before prime minister Aziz Akhannouch announced a third death in a statement. [40] Reinforcement helped calm the situation before carrying out large-scale arrests against suspected young protesters. [39] The Public Prosecutor's Office announced that 193 people were charged on suspicion of violence or vandalism, 16 of which were remanded into custody until trial. [41]

The prefecture claimed that that Royal Gendarmerie personnel in Lqliâa "were forced to use their service weapons, in legitimate self-defense, to repel an attack and storming of the Royal Gendarmerie station by groups of individuals. The attack was an attempt to seize ammunition, equipment, and service weapons of the gendarmerie personnel." [42]

According to authorities, the protesters had robbed the station of a police car and four motorcycles and began attacking the station's dorms when the shots rang out. [43] No witnesses could corroborate the claims of the local authorities. [44] Later, the authorities released CCTV footage showing the attack on the Gendarmerie station. [45]

A judicial investigation has been opened under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office to uncover the full circumstances and details of these events, identify all those involved in these acts, and determine the legal consequences thereof, according to local authorities. [42]

In Taroudant, the Taroudant Prefecture’s administrative headquarters was burnt down. [46] In Sidi Bibi, the municipal headquarters were burnt down, leading to civil registry documents being destroyed. [47]

2 October – present

On 2 October, protests continued for the sixth consecutive day in several cities, including Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier. "The people want Akhannouch to leave" was one of the most prominent chants of the GenZ protests. The demonstrations were clearly peaceful, with demonstrators gathering at protest sites and chanting slogans calling for political, social, and economic reforms. Conversely, security forces present at the protest sites did not intervene to prevent the sit-ins, unlike the beginning of this wave of protests on 27 September. In Casablanca, demonstrators appealed to King Mohammed VI to intervene to meet their demands, chanting, "The people want the king's intervention." They also called for the release of activist Nasser Zefzafi and all prisoners of conscience. A popular march in Casablanca was held in solidarity with the young man who was run over by a police car in Oujda. In Rabat, protesters chanted slogans demanding the departure of Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch. Despite the peaceful nature of the protests in Rabat and Casablanca, a number of shops were observed closing ahead of schedule, while others were emptied of goods and jewelry for fear of potential vandalism. Meanwhile, security forces were seen closely monitoring the situation without direct confrontation. While some cities witnessed forceful security interventions to disperse protesters, no violence was reported in Casablanca, Tangier, and Tetouan, in what local sources described as a "cautious approach" to avoid escalation. Participants emphasize the peaceful nature of their movements, asserting that their demands are "primarily social". [48]

In a press statement, Younes Sekkouri, Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, said that the vast majority of young people who came out to express their views in the GenZ protests were not involved in the violence and vandalism that occurred overnight. [48]

On 3 October, protests continued in several cities, most notably Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Tetouan, and Fez. Protesters raised slogans calling for improved social, economic, and political conditions. They also expressed their solidarity with political prisoners and the Palestinian cause. Hundreds of young people gathered in Place Maréchal in Casablanca, demanding the release of all detainees. They chanted slogans calling for the government's resignation and carried signs reading "Freekoulchi," meaning "Freedom for all." In Rabat, they demonstrated in front of the parliament building, demanding accountability for the corrupt and reforming sectors such as health and education. In Fez, a group of protesters rallied to demand social and economic reforms, waving the Palestinian flag in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Popular demonstrations also continued in Tangier and in Tetouan. In a document addressed to King Mohammed VI, GenZ youth demanded the dismissal of the current government. The protestors explained that, based on Article 47 of the Constitution, which grants the king the power to appoint and dismiss the prime minister and members of the government, they are demanding the dismissal of Aziz Akhannouch's government for its failure to protect purchasing power and ensure social justice. [49] [50]

The CNDH reported that the protests on October 3rd and 4th were peaceful. [51]

Protests were announced on 6 October by GenZ 212 in Rabat, Tangier, Casablanca, Fez, Berkane, and 16 other cities across the country. In another statement they rejected a meeting organized by the youth wing of the Popular Movement party describing it as an attempt to co-opt the cause. [52]

Response

According to human rights organisations, security forces dispersed several demonstrations and carried out dozens of arrests. [27] The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) denounced arbitrary detentions, use of force and restrictions on public gatherings. [53] The security response was criticized by Moroccan politicians and activists on social media, who argued that it violated Morocco's constitutional right to free expression. [54] Police security was tightened in response to the protests. [4]

The Ministry of Interior released an official statement through its spokesperson on 30 September, stressing that while the authorities remained committed to protecting freedoms, including the right to peaceful protest, demonstrations organized outside the legal framework had escalated into violence in several cities. According to the ministry, 263 members of the security forces were injured, 23 protesters were wounded, and widespread damage occurred to 142 police vehicles, 20 private cars, and multiple banks, shops and public institutions. The statement added that 49 individuals were placed in custody under orders from the public prosecutor, while others were released after identity checks. The ministry underlined that it would continue to preserve public order with "restraint and professionalism" but vowed to prosecute individuals engaged in violent acts in accordance with Moroccan law. [55] [ better source needed ] According to Moroccan human rights lawyer Khadija Ryadi protestors were arrested for granting interviews to media. [56] The Interior Ministry accused demonstrators of using knives and firebombs. [22]

Reactions

Domestic

Government

On 30 September 2025, the Moroccan government issued a statement saying it "listens to and understands the social demands" of the youth protests and were "ready to respond positively and responsibly" [8] expressing willingness in engage in dialogue with youth "within institutions and public spaces to find realistic solutions" whilst also praising what it called "the balanced reaction of security authorities in line with relevant legal procedures". [31] On 2 October 2025, Prime minister Aziz Akhannouch praised the security force response to protests whilst also saying that the government was ready for a "dialogue and discussion within institutions and public spaces". [57] [58] [56]

Political and civil society

The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) was vocal in its condemnation of the police response, documenting hundreds of arrests and describing the authorities' actions as a "security crackdown" and a "violation of the right to peaceful protest." [12] [17] The organization provided legal support to many of those detained. [59] The head of the AMDH section in Rabat condemned the arrests as unconstitutional. [31]

Two opposition parties, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) and the Federation of the Democratic Left, have denounced the government response to protests. [60] Abdelilah Benkirane, former prime minister and leader of the PJD, initially supported the protests but later posted a video after the violence on Tuesday condemning the violence and urging the movement to end the protests. Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri, secretary-general of the Authenticity and Modernity Party which is part of the governing coalition, acknowledged that the government "has not fully succeeded in responding to citizens' expectations" whilst also noting Morocco making progress within the last few decades. Nabila Mounib, general secretary of the Unified Socialist Party, joined one of the protests but was criticised for trying to capitalise from the movement. [21] [61]

Celebrities

The Gen Z protests garnered significant support from Moroccan celebrities, particularly within the hip-hop community. Football stars like Yassine Bounou and Azzedine Ounahi publicly endorsed the movement, [61] [62] while actor Rachid El Ouali urged authorities to respond constructively, noting the protests' peaceful nature and the legitimacy of the youth's demands for "education that opens the future and healthcare that preserves dignity." [63]

Prominent rappers including ElGrandeToto, Dizzy DROS, and Don Bigg used their platforms to condemn state violence and amplify the youth's demands for better education and healthcare. [63] The movement also inspired a wave of new music, from PAUSE's protest song "Marionette" to the viral rap freestyle challenge #FreeKoulchi (Free Everybody), demanding the release of all detained protesters. [64] [65]

International

Foreign governments

Intergovernmental organizations

UN Secretary-General António Guterres criticised the use of violence during the protests calling on protestors to engage peacefully as well as welcoming the government's intentions to enter into dialogue. [66]

Human rights groups

Amnesty International, through its regional office in Rabat, called for moderate use of force against protestors, as all signs show the protests will continue. [67]

Other

International media outlets described the protests as "some of Morocco's largest anti-government protests in years", highlighting the movement's decentralized nature and its critique of government spending priorities. [3] [4] [12] [68]

British political scientist Nic Cheeseman said the protests were triggered by economic issues and were occurring "in more urbanised areas that are not as deeply authoritarian". He also said that "In general, it is where extremely young populations interact with urbanisation and economic downturn, under conditions where it is possible to protest". [69]
