Fasting-Related Violence Surges in Morocco During Ramadan

"I am mramden" (lacking cigarettes, drugs and coffee), "get out of my way" or "tremden 3lik" (I’ll carve you up), and other equally violent words are common on the roads, in shopping centers or in the souks throughout Morocco. Even administrations are affected by this phenomenon.

Bloody fights have taken place from the first day of Ramadan in several regions of the country, with "mramdnines" as the heroes, struggling with the fast.

Beware, you can come across "mramdnines" everywhere, in administrations, hospitals, banks, or on a bus. Do not dare to offend them, as it can be dangerous.

Among the symptoms of "tramdena", migraines, vision problems, a crazy desire to smoke, drink and fight. Also, the victims of "tramdena" often quickly regret their actions. Thus, you can easily find them a few minutes after the fight, kissing and pouring out apologies and begging God’s forgiveness for their Ramadan excesses.

The "mramdnines", for the most part ordinary people, find themselves after the breaking of the fast in cafes and mosques, smiling, regretting their uncontrolled gestures in a month supposed to be one of prayer, meditation and piety.

So, if you recognize yourself, go see a specialist doctor right away!
