Mass demonstrations led by young people continue to sweep through Morocco’s major cities, including Rabat, Casablanca, and Tetouan, as public frustration mounts over governance and economic hardship. Beginning on September 27, the protests have gained momentum with demands for improvements in healthcare, education, and action against corruption, along with calls for the government to step down. Tensions escalated near Agadir last week when police opened fire on a group of protesters accused of attacking security officers, leaving at least three people dead. Many citizens are voicing anger over what they see as the government’s misplaced focus on costly international events like the 2030 FIFA World Cup while essential public services remain neglected. The movement shows no sign of slowing as pressure builds on Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch to resign.
