GenZ 212 Protests: Demands for Reform in Morocco
In Morocco, a group of young people calling themselves GenZ 212 are protesting for better schools and hospitals.
They started online and organized protests, asking the government to spend more on these things.
Protesters feel the government prioritizes spending on projects related to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco is co-hosting, over vital services.
The group demands better health and education sectors, which they feel are lacking resources.
Some protests have turned violent.
Sadly, there have been deaths and injuries.
A youth collective, GenZ 212, is leading protests in Morocco.
The group formed on Discord to address social inequalities.
Protests began after authorities banned the first demonstrations.

Some protesters want the government to prioritize health and education over the 2030 World Cup.
