Morocco arrests hundreds of protesters as rallies turn violent

Moroccan authorities have arrested over 400 individuals following violent protests demanding better public health and education services. Youth-led demonstrations, organized online by GenZ 212, escalated with demonstrators torching vehicles and damaging shops. Protesters contrast massive World Cup investment with underfunded public facilities. While authorities reported injuries to security forces and civilians, GenZ 212 claims to reject violence and only opposes the government.
