Rabat: Young demonstrators in Morocco demanded reforms Saturday in the education and health sectors, stronger action against corruption, and the release of those detained during previous protests, as part of rallies organized by the ‘Gen Z 212 Movement.’

According to Anadolu Agency, hundreds gathered in cities, including Rabat, Casablanca, and Tangier, chanting ‘Freedom for detainees’ and ‘Freedom, dignity, social justice.’ The movement previously staged similar demonstrations between September 27 and October 9 before temporarily pausing activities.

The youth group Gen Z 212 announced that demonstrations will be held every Saturday and Sunday. In response to these protests, the government has accelerated reform projects in recent weeks in the health and education sectors to address the main demands of protesters.
