“The world sees the stadiums and the TGV, but Gen Z sees the broken schools, empty hospitals, and silent courts,” explains Aboubakr Jamai, Dean of the Donna Dillon Manning School of Global Affairs at The American College of the Mediterranean. As Morocco’s unprecedented youth-led protests continue to spread in rejection of the political and socioeconomic status quo, Professor Jamai offers a sharp, historically grounded analysis of this generational uprising. He traces its roots to worsening structural inequalities, from soaring urban youth unemployment to the erosion of public education, healthcare, and judicial independence. Mr. Jamai argues that the monarchy’s longstanding strategy of symbolic reform and high-profile infrastructure projects has lost its pacifying power.
