[Morocco] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Peaceful protest sit-ins occurred in Oujda, Morocco on April 4, 2025, marking the 70th consecutive week of demonstrations following Friday prayers. The protests, organized by the Moroccan Commission for the Support of the Islamic Nation Causes, focused on condemning Morocco's normalization with Israel and calling for support of Gaza.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and limited geographic scope in eastern Morocco, immediate supply chain disruptions appear minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor whether protests expand beyond Oujda to major economic centers or port cities
• Track any escalation from peaceful demonstrations to more disruptive activities that could affect regional commerce
