Morocco is experiencing widespread youth-led protests against corruption, inequality, and lack of opportunity. Dubbed 'Gen Z 212', these demonstrations highlight a stark contrast between government spending on World Cup infrastructure and a struggling healthcare system. Protesters, many under 18, are using digital platforms for organization and demanding government reform, accountability, and a reallocation of funds from stadium projects to social services. Authorities have responded with a mix of crackdowns and offers of dialogue, but demonstrators express skepticism about the pace and sincerity of proposed changes.
