Unauthorised demonstrations were held for the fourth consecutive day at the call of the GenZ 212 group, a recently formed Discord-based collective whose organisers remain unknown.

Ministry spokesman Rachid El Khalfi said the clashes involved protesters using knives, Molotov cocktails and stones.

El Khalfi said 409 people were detained following the unrest, during which more than 140 police vehicles and 20 private cars were set ablaze.

AFP footage showed tense confrontations lasting several hours along a main avenue in Inzegane.

In Rabat, prosecutors decided on Wednesday that a group of 97 people, including three in detention, would face trial, according to their lawyer, Souad Brahma.

Prosecutors had already said an initial group of 37 people, including three in detention, would face trial on Tuesday.

GenZ 212, which expressed regret over Tuesday’s violence, describes itself as a discussion space focused on issues affecting all citizens, such as health, education and fighting corruption.
