[Morocco] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 4, 2025, Muslim worshippers and Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane activists held a peaceful protest sit-in in Benguerir, Morocco, following Friday prayers, marking the 70th consecutive week of demonstrations against Morocco's normalization with Israel and calling for support of Gaza. The event was classified as low severity with no reports of violence or disruption.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope of the demonstration in Benguerir, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal. Second-order effects would depend on whether similar protests expand to major economic centers or transportation hubs across Morocco.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of protests to larger cities like Casablanca or Rabat where economic activity could be affected
• Track any shifts from peaceful demonstration to more disruptive protest tactics that could impact local commerce or transportation networks
