Morocco Protesters Call for Govt Ouster After Deadly Unrest

The group leading mass protests has demanded the government's dismissal after days of unrest that left three people dead. 

The GenZ 212 has demanded the dismissal of the current government for its failure to protect the constitutional rights of Moroccans and respond to their social demands. The group, whose main organisers remain unknown, also said it wanted the release of all those detained in connection with the peaceful protests.

Many Moroccans feel that the public health and education sectors should be improved as the kingdom pushes forward with major infrastructure projects to host the Africa Cup of Nations in December and part of the 2030 World Cup. The government has pledged dialogue and reforms, but rights groups say young Moroccans want tangible improvements, not promises.
