Driss smiles and pauses for a moment in the Palma hair salon where he works while he considers whether to comment on the protests of thousands of young Moroccans in his country.

They organized themselves through social media and digital platforms under the name GenZ212 (the generation to which they belong and the international telephone code for Morocco) to take to the streets of cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir, and Tangier, among others. Driss, 33, understands them because he was one of those disillusioned, frustrated, and angry young people who demanded changes to the system.
