The Wednesday edition of the newspaper "Al-Masaa" reported alarming developments in the city of Jerfif, where security authorities have declared a state of emergency following the grim discovery of a deceased bus driver. The driver, who alternated shifts with a colleague on the route between Marrakesh and Jerfif, was found lifeless in a designated rest area for drivers immediately after the bus arrived at the Jerfif bus station. In response to this incident, judicial police have initiated an investigation under the direct supervision of the relevant public prosecutor’s office to ascertain the causes and circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
In another story, the same newspaper highlighted a contentious issue regarding the use of a canceled agricultural exploitation certificate in the Ouled Tahar Jbouch area, located in the Saaka commune on the outskirts of Jerfif. This certificate was allegedly used to obtain financial support from the regional agriculture directorate. The situation has stirred considerable debate, particularly among a group of affected individuals who consider themselves wronged. They have successfully obtained a document confirming the cancellation of the exploitation certificate, which is signed by both the tribal representative and the local authority representative. These individuals are calling for an investigation into this matter, as it raises serious concerns about the misuse of agricultural support.
Moreover, the Moroccan Consumer Protection Observatory has urged that the decision to revert to the legal time in the kingdom undergoes a scientific evaluation to measure its impact on the daily lives of citizens and families. The observatory emphasizes that discussions should extend beyond merely adding or subtracting sixty minutes. They argue that the return to the legal time, which took effect on Sunday, September 20, represents a crucial opportunity to assess the actual effects of this time change on Moroccan consumers and their quality of life.
Turning to "Bayane Al-Yawm," environmental observers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the accumulation of waste and the leakage of leachate from dilapidated garbage collection bins near the Al-Dakhla school and the surrounding residential areas in the Bouchaouk region, part of the Al-Ayida district in Sale. This deteriorating environmental situation poses significant health risks, particularly for children, the elderly, and those suffering from chronic illnesses, due to unpleasant odors and the proliferation of harmful insects. Furthermore, the aesthetics of the area are being severely compromised.
In the same vein, the region is also dealing with the remnants of trimmed trees that have not been collected, alongside the dilapidation of several roads, indicating an urgent need for intervention to rectify these issues and enhance living conditions in the area.
Additionally, community activists and residents in the Jadar area, located in the Nador province, have staged protests demanding immediate action from the relevant authorities to reduce traffic accidents and improve road safety conditions, especially near the "Total" station and the entrance to the city of Azghenane via Beni Sidal. Protesters are insisting on concrete field measures from the concerned parties, rather than merely addressing the aftermath of accidents once they occur.
Furthermore, the same publication reported that residents of the Bir Anzran subdivision in the Tikouine neighborhood of Agadir have submitted a second complaint to the municipal office, gathering dozens of signatures. This complaint highlights their ongoing struggles with the presence of stray dogs in the area. The residents express their concerns regarding the potential dangers posed by these animals near homes and public spaces and are urging the municipality to take prompt and effective measures to mitigate this phenomenon and protect the community, especially vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
Lastly, "Al-Ahdath Al-Maghribiya" noted that the Fes Regional Development Company announced a budget allocation of nearly 30 million dirhams for the development and enhancement of several public spaces in the city of Fes. This project, which is currently open for bids, is part of an urgent program aimed at improving various public areas within the city and includes multiple sites and facilities designed to enhance community welfare.
Additionally, the regional director of education and training in the Casablanca-Settat region, Mohamed Dhib, confirmed during a press conference in Casablanca aimed at discussing the 2026/2027 school year, that there are several challenges hindering the expansion and establishment of the "Leading Schools" model at both primary and middle school levels. He emphasized that the leading school initiative is a qualitative project targeting a tangible transformation in educational performance, improving learning quality, and reducing dropout rates.
