Two weeks of public unrest over failing health and social services boiled over in Agadir on Sunday, September 14, 2025, putting Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch’s administration under intense scrutiny.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said a number of countries had been experiencing unusually early increases in RSV detections.
