RABAT: Morocco’s GenZ 212 youth collective said Saturday it was temporarily suspending protests after two weeks of demonstrations calling for reforms in health and education.
The weekend pause was “a strategic step to strengthen organization and coordination, so the next phase of the movement is more effective and influential,” the group said in a statement.
GenZ 212 said its demands were unchanged, citing “accountability for the corrupt” and government responsibility for worsening social and economic conditions.
A new call for mobilization would be announced later Saturday, it said, adding the next protest would “target the government and all those blocking the aspirations of the Moroccan people.”
Formed in late September, GenZ 212 has built a large online following, with more than 200,000 members on the Discord platform.
