MOROCCO ARRESTS HUNDREDS OF PROTESTERS DEMANDING FOR REFORMS

‎Moroccan authorities have arrested more than 400 people during violent
protests demanding reforms in the public health and education sectors,
the Ministry of Interior says.
‎
‎A fifth night of youth protests was under way on Wednesday in cities
across the North African country, but authorities said the fourth night had
turned more violent than before.
‎
‎They reported that 263 members of the security forces and 23 civilians
were injured as demonstrators torched cars and ransacked shops.
‎
‎The demonstrations have been organised online by a loosely formed,
anonymous youth group calling itself GenZ 212, using platforms
including TikTok, Instagram and the gaming application Discord.
‎
‎Through chants and posters, they have contrasted the flow of billions in
investment toward preparation for the 2030 World Cup, while many
schools and hospitals lack funds and remain in a dire state.
