HIBAPRESS – Abdellatif Baraka
The wave of protests, which has been occurring in several Moroccan cities for days, turned into violent clashes today, Tuesday, September 30, 2025, especially in Inezgane, Beni Mellal, and the Ait Amira commune belonging to the province of Chtouka Ait Baha.
These areas witnessed serious riots, including the burning and destruction of cars, some of which belonged to the security forces, in addition to direct confrontations between demonstrators and elements of the security forces and the Royal Gendarmerie, amid stone-throwing and the outbreak of fires. Footage circulated showed scenes of burning cars in Ait Amira, reflecting the escalation of tension and public anger among the protesters. These developments come in light of the increasing mobilization among young people, especially those belonging to what is known as "Generation Z", who continue their protests for the fourth consecutive day, demanding political, economic, and social reforms. This day witnessed the expansion of the scope of the demonstration to new cities, such as Inezgane and Beni Mellal, to join major protest centers such as Fez, Tangier, Rabat, Tetouan, and Casablanca. For its part, the Presidency of the Government Majority, after a meeting held this morning, affirmed its understanding of the social demands, expressing its readiness to respond "positively and responsibly" through dialogue and discussion within institutions and public spaces, while seeking to find realistic and feasible solutions that take into account the interests of the nation and the citizen. Mobilization continues through social media networks, where calls for protests are renewed in more than ten cities, amid judicial follow-up of a number of detainees in connection with these events, which began last Saturday.
