From Madagascar to Morocco: Gen Z protests shake Africa

Youth-led protests driven by poor governance and socio-economic issues are sweeping across Africa and Asia. In Madagascar, recent demonstrations over shortages and repression led to the government's dissolution, though demands for the president's resignation persist, with reports of violent crackdowns. Similar youth movements, organized via social media and symbolized by a "One Piece" skull, are addressing corruption, collapsing public services, and unemployment in countries like Kenya, Togo, and Morocco. Analysts highlight this generation's tech-savviness in fueling these widespread demands for change.
