Morocco: Activists plan to gather and march from 11:00 in Bab Al Hadd Square, Rabat, Dec. 4

Event

Activists from the Moroccan Social Front and other national unions plan to march in Rabat Dec. 4 to protest against high prices of fuel and consumer goods. Organizers have announced that participants will start gathering at 11:00 in Bab Al Hadd Square. The unions have not specified where the demonstration will end; however, possible protest locations include the Parliament, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Finance. Hundreds of individuals could attend the event.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely in the affected area through late Dec. 4. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
