The public sentiment towards the Morocco GenZ protests is deeply polarized, showcasing an overwhelming frustration with government corruption, systemic failures in healthcare and education, and calls for social justice. Many commenters express solidarity with the youth, highlighting both domestic and international support for their demands for reform. However, there are mixed feelings regarding the protests, with some fearing potential violence while others strongly advocate for revolutionary change and accountability from those in power.

The difference between america and other nation protests. We dont beat them or lock them up unless its the democrats in power but the best part is that we can destroy cities in the guise of peaceful protests without consequences again only if you are aligned with the democrats🤣

It doesn't look good and I wish them the best. I'm honestly anxious that it starts a civil war or something. literally just saw a guy get put in a police car with his fucking 1-year-old daughter in his arms holy shit...

They want a better health system and better education and to stop siding with Zioshits but I don't see how they would get that since it's a kingdom and a super bad dictatorship, some people are against the king and others are not it's just complicated. I'm just scared for the people.

What can we say, ربي معاهم.

Whoever ordered police to act like that is very stupid, every single person has a camera now and can record, Gen-Z is not a joke, they know their rights and if you piss off enough of them they can bring you down, look what happened in Nepal recently… wish people in morroco the best.

تذكرت محادثة بيني وبين شرطي في أول أيام حراك 2019. كنا قد اجتمعنا مجموعة كبيرة من الطلاب لنخرج من الجامعة متوجهين لمقر الولاية، نهتف بأعلى صوتنا: ماكانش عهدة خامسة.

عند باب الجامعة كان هناك رهط من رجال الشرطة، أوقفونا ومنعونا من الخروج. قررت نتشجع ونهدر مع الظابط المسؤول:

أنا: يا شاف رانا نضربو على حقنا وحقك وحق ولادك، راه عاجبك حال البلاد؟
الظابط: لا، ماراهش عجبني حال البلاد ولكن هاذي خدمتي.
أنا: خدمتك الأمن، واحنا طلاب جامعة ماراح نكسرو ما نديرو مشاكل.
الظابط: وين رايحين؟
أنا: رايحين للولاية.
الظابط (بعد ما هدر في جهاز الاتصال): خلاص خويا ماشي مشكل، اعطيني 5 دقايق عيطت للرونفور يجو غير باش يعسو مانمنعوكمش.

وفعلا كان صادق.

لكن تخيلت لو نفس الموقف وقع اليوم...

أنا: يا شاف رانا نضربو على حقنا و...
الظابط: مالا انت هو الايادي الخارجية اللي تحب تدير البلبلة في البلاد! ارفدوه.
أنا (قدام القاضي): سيد القاضي، أنا مجرد مواطن عادي حبيت نعبر على رايي.
القاضي: تكوين جماعة إرهابية، 20 سنة سجن.

It will go nowhere and even if it does, the great hammouchi will do false flag op to justify restrictions, like what happened with 20 feb movement before it

hmsmeme-o-taur

Riffians took the street nine years ago; same thing happened to them — violence, oppression, police brutality. they were called ´separatists’ by the rest of Morocco. 
And nothing has changed, last year med student protests faced the exact same thing and nothing has changed. 
I really hope this time something will change!

I think they're **BRAVE**; some people say it's scary and they're afraid that it's gonna turn to a civil war or more, but honestly, us north africans kinda live on the same boat, the struggle is real and we know the problem; it's just that some people prefere to escalade it rather then being stuck like this.

They need very clear revendications for it to work, and stick to it no matter what. Good luck to the people, very brave to go outside and protest

nana9555

It’s all show. Nothing will change because they refuse to name the real problem: the monarchy. Morocco and its system were literally built around the royal family. I sympathize with the youth, despite the hatred I’ve been exposed to online (coming from moroccan users). But at the end of the day it does not concern me, the borders are closed so it won’t affect us whether it works out for them or no. Meh.

[deleted]

This kind of actions need wiser minds, and unfortunately our people hasn't the enough knowledge to deal with such things and use it usefully, once a general appears or the government decides to raise up wages with 1% and offered bread شعب نمي turns to be an obedient lamb, the only solution is leaving the place and never thinking about coming back, and the saddest thing is the ones that we consider them as elites are chosing to be silent...

hasboy777

This is a great, but definitely sensitive, question. Since the original poster asked for respect, I'll try to focus on the social analysis rather than the politics.
I think the core issue isn't unique to Morocco or Algeria; it’s a regional phenomenon driven by the same fundamental pressures facing Gen Z everywhere in North Africa:
The Economic Ceiling: The feeling that, regardless of how hard you study or work, there is a fixed ceiling on your economic mobility and job prospects.
The Information Age: This generation grew up with the internet, meaning they have full visibility on how their peers live in Europe, the US, and Asia. This exposure raises expectations far beyond what local economies can deliver.  
Digital Communication: They are the first generation to organize and communicate instantly outside of traditional media control. The speed of mobilization is radically different.
When you combine economic frustration with raised expectations and a new tool for organization, you get protests. It’s a message that the social contract needs renegotiation.
The real question for us in the region is: Do you believe these protests are primarily driven by local, specific economic grievances (like inflation), or by a universal, regional demand for more political voice and better governance?

SabriDesigns

You’re not thinking the citizen have something to say in the country do you? I see comments ranging from assumptions like people blindly loving the monarchy to people supporting Israel just because their government works with them. If these protests tell you anything it’s THAT THEY DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING

I was about time Moroccans stood up to their king, we should support them.

As a fellow Moroccan/Algerian (i hold both passport and been to both Algeria and Morocco).
I don’t know where this hatred comes from, but the problem in Morocco isn’t Monarchy. And i don’t have to explain it.
Little people knows but these protests are being funded and triggered by Akhenouch’s opposition party as the election is getting closer. And still yes we need better education system which can’t be changed overnight and it’s being reformed little by little. And better health system ofc, if nothing is done about this one we will sadly have the same healthcare system as USA

I don't know much about the current protests in Morocco yet, but the zionist hell bent establishment in Morocco was expected to feel the curse of Allah SWT sooner or later. I hope and pray that no innocent civilians get harmed and may the curse of Allah be upon every single zionist and their shameless supporter in every corner of the world!

Also, importantly, I am amazed how the satanists in the west come up with "cool" sounding terms "Gen Z" "Millennial" "Gen X" ... To plant seed of separation, supporirity, inferiority...etc between the so called "Gen X, Y, Z..."

Muslims must be very careful of normalising or accepting these useless terms!

At least protestors dont get 20 years of prison. Not like algeria.

If they fly the one piece flag, then their gov is def fucked

But if they love their king and he controls the country then things should be going great there. 

Maybe Israel will help them

Algerians showed the way to go: The peaceful Hirak.

the Nepal way it not adapted for everyone, and won't necessarily give the right results.

Focus on you’re own country lmao Morocco is a monarchy yet outshines Algeria in freedom of speech and democracy.

Hopefully the protestors are as successful as in Nepal.

Other generations had protest music, we need to bring that back: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g4f8FqPoms&amp;list=PLYbt2w7tWX87UVd7-z2PTKx1ThcfU5WxM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g4f8FqPoms&amp;list=PLYbt2w7tWX87UVd7-z2PTKx1ThcfU5WxM)

On a more serious note, this is quintessential political resistance music:

Does this surprise you? Eastern protests are a different game for both sides, hopefully the Moroccan people can win this though.

If you aren’t going to a riot armed, that’s your own damn fault. Bring glass breakers and Mollis in case cops decide to do this.

What's the context with the Protests? What are they protesting for?

The day the chiefs of African countries will get hospitalised in their countries instead of abroad (King of Morocco, I see you), you'll know things will get better.

It calmed down, yesterday’s protests across morocco were met with no retaliation, the protests were peaceful, they ended in time, no violence at all, the gov is ready to talk, things are looking to be going steady so far.

Frequent_Campaign_16

The genz 212 official discord shifted to political demands, which is good.
The protests are more organized, and the police have fallen into a peaceful method of being there during the protests and not arresting or harming the peaceful protesters, so it's perfect. 
The genz212 announced that their protests start at 6 pm and end at 8 pm in the announced locations, and anything else at any other time or any other place does not belong to them.
They have regular meetings as well over Discord. 
Genuinely, it's looking good. We just need a response from the king or the government. Either way, we want the government gone.

CattleUpstairs3873

First 2 protests were last weekend, they weren't violent but many people got wrongfully arrested (most of them got released afterwards though).
The arrests made many people angry, and as the protests spread to less developed areas things got violent from both sides.
Yesterday's protests were very peaceful though, things look much more organised now and the authorities have also stopped trying to arrest or fight people, the government also said they're open to talks but most people just want them gone.

Youth-led protests in Morocco arose from demands for better healthcare and education, highlighting economic hardship and social inequality.
