Morocco: Unionized teachers plan to strike nationwide April 22
Unionized teachers plan to strike across Morocco, April 22. Tight security, localized transport disruptions likely. Protests possible.
Unionized teachers plan to strike nationwide April 22 to denounce recent government decisions regarding the education system. Organizers have called for a protest outside the Parliament before marching toward the Ministry of National Education in Rabat. Similar protests, including sit-ins, are possible outside educational departments and government buildings across the country.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near protest locations. Clashes may occur if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution and to minimize travel delays. Exercise increased vigilance near protest locations and liaise with trusted contacts for updated information on possible demonstration venues. Anticipate road travel disruptions near any gatherings that materialize. Heed the instructions of local security personnel. Leave an area at the first sign of unrest.
