Morocco: Violent clashes near Inezgane

It all started with the assault of a resident of the town, also from sub-Saharan Africa, by two individuals. Seriously injured in the head, he was taken to the hospital. The Royal Gendarmerie has opened an investigation to find the assailants.

The situation escalated a little later when a group of about 150 people invaded the public highway, blocking traffic and throwing stones at the residents. The Inezgane prosecutor’s office stated that homes, motorists and the security forces were also targeted during these unusually violent clashes.

Faced with this situation, the Royal Gendarmerie, the Auxiliary Forces and the law enforcement agents were deployed to disperse the troublemakers. Two suspects were arrested and the search continues to identify the other participants.
