Morocco is witnessing a wave of youth-driven unrest as demonstrators rally across cities like Rabat, Casablanca, and Tetouan demanding immediate changes in health and education, stronger action against corruption, and a complete political shakeup. The protests, which began on September 27, continue to grow despite Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch’s appeal for dialogue, with many pushing for his resignation. Tensions escalated near Agadir last week when police fired on a crowd allegedly attempting to confront security forces, leaving at least three people dead. Public anger has intensified over claims that the government is prioritising expenses for international sporting events such as the 2030 FIFA World Cup instead of addressing the nation’s pressing social needs. The movement shows no sign of slowing, as frustration deepens over governance and resource allocation.
