🇲🇦 Youth-Led Protests in Morocco Demand Major Social Reforms

 A new wave of youth-led demonstrations has swept through Morocco, as thousands of young citizens take to the streets demanding better public services, job opportunities, and greater government accountability.

Driven mostly by Gen Z activists, the protests have quickly grown into one of the largest social movements North Africa has seen in recent years. Many say they are tired of rising living costs, limited access to education, and what they describe as slow government action on key reforms.

Videos shared online show peaceful marches across Casablanca, Rabat, and Marrakesh, with placards calling for “justice, dignity, and opportunity.” The government has urged calm while promising to address citizens’ concerns through new youth-focused initiatives — though protesters remain skeptical.

Analysts say this moment could mark a turning point in Morocco’s political and social landscape, as the younger generation pushes to have its voice heard more strongly in national decision-making.

🗣️ “We’re not just protesting — we’re asking to be seen, to be heard, and to be part of our country’s future,” said one student organizer.
