is a popular chant among the Gen Z protesters. What's behind Morocco's 'Gen Z protests'? Organisers of the youth-led protest movement known as GenZ 212 - the number referring to Morocco's international dialling code - have distanced themselves from the violence. Morocco's tourist hub, Marrakesh, was also hit by violence, with protesters burning a police station, according to local media. Interior ministry spokesman Rachid El Khalfi said that 409 people have been detained across Morocco following the unrest.
