Bakery owners plan to protest outside the Ministry of Agriculture in Rabat from 14:00 Oct. 16 to denounce the lack of financial support and safety regulations in the sector. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Ministry of Agriculture on the afternoon of Oct. 16. Clashes between security forces and protesters are possible, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
