The newly formed Moroccan youth collective “GenZ 212” has called for the resignation of the government following a sixth consecutive night of protests demanding better healthcare and education services.
In a statement addressed to King Mohammed VI, the group denounced the government’s failure to uphold citizens’ constitutional rights and respond to pressing social demands.
“We demand the dissolution of the current government for its failure to protect the constitutional rights of Moroccans and to address their social demands,” the collective said.
Though the movement’s founders remain unknown, “GenZ 212” has rapidly grown in influence, boasting more than 150,000 members on its Discord page.
The protests, largely driven by young people, reflect deep frustration over public services and governance, and mark a rare challenge to Morocco’s political establishment.
