Morocco: Fifth night in a row: widespread and violent protests in many cities against the high cost of living, lack of opportunities and services, and high unemployment with dozens of casualties and arrests. The riots were unofficially named the "FIFA Protest" - against the backdrop of the construction of stadiums in the country ahead of the 2030 World Cup, which will be held in Morocco jointly with Spain and Portugal. One of the protesters waved a sign: "I hope there will be a first aid kit in the stadium, because in our hospitals there isn't one."
