Morocco faced four days of protests as young people demanded better schools and hospitals. The protesters, called ‘Gen Z’, are angry that the government spends money on World Cup stadiums instead of social services. Violence and clashes with police happened in many cities, especially in poorer areas. Over 400 people were arrested, and many police officers and civilians were hurt. The protests started peacefully but became violent after arrests. The government said the protests were illegal and promised to act firmly. The protests gained support from famous Moroccans and spread through social media platforms like TikTok and Discord. The government plans to discuss health reforms soon. Protesters want better health, education, and jobs, and they criticize corruption and poor government priorities. (Updated 1 Oct 2025, 23:27 IST; source: link)
