Over the past days, cities across Morocco have witnessed an unprecedented wave of popular protests marked by growing anger and frustration. Several government buildings have been set on fire following violent crackdowns by security forces.
According to local sources, demonstrators were met with excessive force and mass arrests. The situation escalated dramatically today in the city of El Qliaa, where the Moroccan gendarmerie reportedly used live ammunition against protesters, leaving three seriously injured. Unconfirmed reports suggest that one demonstrator may have died from gunshot wounds.
Observers argue that these events reveal the deep political and social crisis Morocco is going through, and the widening rift between the people and a monarchy long associated with corruption, repression, and the systematic plundering of national wealth.
For many, the current unrest signals the beginning of the end for a system built on injustice, arbitrary arrests, and forced disappearances, as it proves increasingly unable to silence the people’s demands for freedom and dignity without resorting to sheer brutality.
What is happening today lays bare the false image of “stability” often promoted by the Moroccan regime, showing the world that the voice of the people is stronger than bullets—and that a new chapter of resistance is unfolding despite bloodshed and repression.
