The wave of «Generation Z» protests has continued for a fourth consecutive day in several Moroccan cities, with violent clashes and rioting reported in Temara, Inezgane, Beni Mellal, and the Ait Amira commune. The «Gen Z» protests entered their fourth consecutive day, with sit-ins and marches held in several cities, including Casablanca, Fes, Tangier, Kenitra, Taourirt, Oujda, and Tetouan. Demonstrators chanted slogans demanding reforms in health and education, a stronger fight against corruption, and more job opportunities. While authorities blocked several gatherings and made arrests, some marches escalated into violent confrontations with security forces, particularly in Temara, Inezgane, Beni Mellal, and the Ait Amira commune in Chtouka Ait Baha province.

(@selh04) September 30, 2025 In Ait Amira, videos shared on social media show stone-throwing clashes between protesters and security forces, rioting, and vehicles belonging to the Royal Gendarmerie being set on fire or vandalized. In Inezgane, footage also captured violent clashes and the destruction of police vehicles. Similar scenes unfolded in Beni Mellal, where videos show running street battles between protesters and public forces. In Temara, confrontations turned violent, forcing the closure of several streets to traffic as tensions escalated. Tuesday's protests came just hours after the ruling coalition issued a statement reaffirming its «commitment to listening and understanding social demands and its readiness to respond positively and responsibly». The communiqué emphasized that «dialogue is the only way to address the challenges facing our country» and praised what it called the «balanced response» of the security authorities, in line with legal procedures. The demonstrations also followed an announcement from the Rabat public prosecutor's office that three young people had been placed in custody and 34 others released on bail after being arrested in earlier protests. In Casablanca, Abdellatif Saadi, First Deputy to the Attorney General at the Court of Appeals, said that 24 people had been arrested for blocking traffic on the city's main highway. The protest movement is led by a group calling itself «Gen-Z-212» or «Generation Z 212», which has relied heavily on social media platforms, particularly Discord, to call for demonstrations and coordinate gathering points.
