Gen Z protests, Morocco "Scores have been arrested in Morocco following protests calling for education and health reforms in the North African kingdom. Demonstrators have complained that the kingdom has spent a fortune on preparations for hosting the 2030 Fifa World Cup while neglecting more immediate priorities. Despite the arrests, GenZ 212 said it would continue the protests against Morocco's spiralling inequality." “Stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?” chanted the activists.

"Morocco must step up the pace of economic reforms and create more jobs for its youth, according to its finance minister, who described recent Gen Z protests as a “wake up call” for the kingdom. The leaderless, tech-savvy group dubbed GenZ212 announced they would resume protests on Saturday with sit-ins in several cities after a pause last week." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-14/morocco-eyes-faster-reform-more-jobs-after-gen-z-wake-up-call
