A youth collective calling itself GenZ 212, led by a group of unknown organisers, has taken authorities in Morocco by surprise with a series of protests demanding reforms to public health and education. Here's what we know about the unprecedented youth-led demonstrations taking place across the usually stable kingdom.

Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch said on Thursday he was open to dialogue to end youth protests as security forces prepared for a sixth night of demonstrations that have escalated into riots across the country.

Mass protests in Morocco entered a sixth day on Friday, with the youth-led movement GenZ 212 demanding that the government be removed. The group said the authorities had failed to protect citizens’ constitutional rights and respond to basic social needs.
