The Moroccan protests led by Jinz 212 demanded the dismissal of the government after the days of nationwide unrest, which resulted in three deaths and widespread arrests.

The demand was issued on Thursday following demand for reforms in the health and education sectors across the state, which was marked with tensions on the sixth day of massive peaceful protests.

“We call for the dismissal of the current government to protect Morocco’s constitutional rights and respond to their social demands,” said Jeans 212.

The group, whose organizers are unknown, also called for the release of all those detained in connection with peaceful protests.

Generally, rallies in a stable country have been angry at social inequality, especially after reports of the deaths of eight pregnant women at a government hospital in the city of Agadir last month.

Many Morocco believes that the health and education sectors should be improved as the kingdom is part of the infrastructure projects and the 2030 World Cup to host the Africa Cup of Nation in December.

Jeans 212 said it was promoting the government’s demand for firing on an article in the constitution, in which “his greatness gives the king the power to appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister and members of the government”.

The group has used widespread discarded online messaging platforms to spread their calls for protests, and repeatedly removed itself from the violence and vandalism found in some cities.

According to an AFP journalist, in the capital Rabat on Thursday, protesters carrying Moroccan flags demanded “health and not only the stadium”, which said there were no violent incidents.

Other rallies were also reported in Kasa Blanka, Markich and Agadir, which has no sign of unrest.

‘Dialogue’

Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Aziz Akanovich said in his first public address, since the unrest started that his government was “willing to join the talks” and “(protesters).”

The Prime Minister also said that three people were killed during a protest one night before, calling the incident “tragic”.

The three protesters were killed after an attempt to attack a local law enforcement station on Wednesday night, a Interior Ministry spokesman said.

Authorities initially said that when two protesters opened fire on a group of protesters, they accused of operating “blade weapons” and said that an attempt was made to “storm” to the station near Agadir.

Health Minister Amine Tharoi said in a speech on Parliament on Wednesday that several reforms were underway, but he acknowledged that he was “still inadequate to stop the sector gap”.

Ever since these demonstrations have begun, hundreds of young people have been arrested.

Jeans 212 called on the protesters against violence and demanded Thursday to be peaceful “as part of a decent and responsible expression of our demands”.

According to the Interior Ministry, on Wednesday night, more than 400 people were arrested during the rallies, including about 300 300 people – mainly from security forces – injured.

The ministry also said that 80 public and private institutions have been vandalized, adding that the protesters have also damaged hundreds of cars.

According to lawyers, about 134 people, of whom are detained, are ready to prosecute Rabat soon.

‘Dignity, Social Justice’

Demonstrators have called for “freedom, dignity and social justice” along with “the fall of corruption”.

Despite the demand for protests, Jeans 212 has also called for “Homeland and the Love of the King”, citing King Mohammad VI of Morocco.

However, it says it is against some political parties.

According to media reports and videos on social media, clashes broke out in some cities, including CDBB, near Agadir, where protesters set fire to the offices of the headquarters of the local commune.

In the north of the capital, Rabat, in the city sale, an AFP journalist saw that Hadid protesters set fire to two police cars and a bank branch.

Resident Hachim Madani said, “The young people I have seen breaking things in sale and sale have nothing to do with Jinn 212.”

“They are the young thugs who came with the intention of vandalizing.” Economic policies and a narrow deficit of budget predict.
