BRUSSELS: The EU has called on “all parties” to “keep calm” in Morocco, which has been rocked by anti-corruption protests.
“We recognize the importance of youth participation in public life and call on all parties involved to keep calm,” EU foreign affairs spokesman Anouar El Anouni said in Brussels.
The group leading Morocco’s mass protests called on Friday for the government’s dismissal, following days of unrest.
The demand came after fresh demonstrations demanding reforms to the health and education sectors took place on Thursday, a sixth consecutive day of largely peaceful protests pockmarked with spates of violence.
“We demand the dismissal of the current government for its failure to protect the constitutional rights of Moroccans and respond to their social demands,” protest group GenZ 212 said.
