On the fifth day of the «GenZ 212» protests, the wave of unrest has taken a troubling turn. Two people were killed in the commune of Qliaa (near Agadir) during an attack on a Royal Gendarmerie post. At the same time, several other cities witnessed clashes with security forces, along with acts of violence and vandalism targeting both public and private property.
Since September 27, Morocco has witnessed youth-led protests calling for investment in health and education rather than costly preparations for AFCON 2025 and the 2030 World Cup. Similar outrage erupted in South Africa (2010) and Brazil (2014), where citizens condemned lavish sports spending and demanded priority for essential public services.
