[Morocco] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Student protesters staged a sit-in for a third consecutive day in El Jadida, Morocco on April 9, 2025, denouncing Israeli actions in Palestine and Morocco's normalization agreement with Israel. The protest was characterized as peaceful with low severity.

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 and student focus suggest minimal immediate disruption to commercial operations or logistics networks in the Casablanca-Settat region.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential expansion of protests to major economic centers like Casablanca or Rabat
• Track whether demonstrations spread beyond student groups to include labor unions or other sectors that could affect industrial operations
