RABAT: Violent clashes erupted in several Moroccan cities late Tuesday between youths and security forces, local media reported, after days of protests calling for reforms in the public health and education sectors.
Videos published by news outlets which AFP was unable to verify showed masked demonstrators in Inezgane, near Agadir, hurling stones at police, setting fires near a shopping center and damaging a local post office.
Similar scenes were reported in nearby Ait Amira, in central Morocco’s Beni Mellal and in Oujda in the northeast.
It remained unclear whether there were any injuries.
The youth-led protests were initiated by a collective known as “GenZ 212,” whose founders remain unknown.
