Taxi drivers plan protest outside regional headquarters in Marrakesh, Morocco, Oct. 31. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Taxi drivers plan to protest outside the headquarters of Marrakesh-Safi Region in Marrakesh from 09:00 Oct. 31. Protesters are denouncing deteriorating conditions in the sector, including high penalties and the lack of parking spaces. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the headquarters of Marrakesh-Safi Region the morning of Oct. 31. 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.
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 Oct. 31.
