Morocco: Taxi drivers plan to protest at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca Nov. 3

Event

Taxi drivers plan to protest at Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca the morning of Nov. 3 against the arrests of several transport service owners and drivers. Protesters are also demanding that authorities allow them to continue operating at the airport. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Authorities will likely increase security to monitor the event. Localized transport disruptions are likely near CMN, the morning of Nov. 3, particularly if large numbers of protesters turn up. While organizers have not announced any work stoppages, there could be a reduction in taxi availability during the action.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a precaution. Plan for reduced taxi availability and consider alternative transport options. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow extra time if traveling to CMN Nov. 3.
