Event

Taxi drivers plan to protest outside the Municipality of Agadir from 08:00 Sept. 4. Protesters are demanding improved parking signs and more discussions with authorities, among other issues. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Municipality of Agadir the morning of Sept. 4. While organizers have not announced any work stoppages, there could be a reduction in taxi availability during the protest. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a precaution. Plan for potential reduced taxi availability and consider alternative transport options. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow extra time if traveling through the affected area Sept. 4.
