RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Morocco’s government said Thursday it would address grievances fueling youth-led protests, a day after security forces killed three people during unrest.
Those taking part in the so-called Gen Z protests decry what they see as widespread corruption.
Still, the protests have escalated and become more destructive, particularly in cities far from where development efforts have been concentrated in Morocco.
The “Gen Z” protests mirror similar unrest sweeping countries like Nepal, Kenya and Madagascar.
Pointing to new stadiums under construction or renovation across the country, protesters have chanted, “Stadiums are here, but where are the hospitals?” and alleged rampant corruption at everyday people’s expense.
