Youth protests led by Gen Z 212 and Morocco Youth Voice began in Rabat and other Moroccan cities on September 27, demanding better health and education services and an end to government corruption. The demonstrations grew more violent over weeks, with police making hundreds of arrests and killing some protesters. Initially sparked by the deaths of eight women during childbirth at a public hospital in Agadir, the protests highlighted poor healthcare conditions; Morocco has only 7.7 doctors per 10,000 people. King Mohammed VI addressed these issues indirectly in his October speech to Parliament, urging improvements in health and education. Following this, protest momentum waned, though it remains unclear if this marks a permanent end to the uprisings.
