[Morocco] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Health workers in Oujda, Morocco staged peaceful sit-ins on April 7, 2025, protesting Israeli military actions in Gaza and expressing solidarity with Palestinian healthcare workers. The demonstration was organized by the FNS union and appears to have been contained to hospital premises without broader disruption.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The peaceful nature of the protest and its focus on international solidarity rather than domestic economic grievances suggests minimal immediate impact on Moroccan supply chains or regional trade flows.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential expansion of solidarity protests to other Moroccan cities or key economic sectors
• Track whether healthcare worker demonstrations could affect medical supply distribution if they spread beyond symbolic actions
