Residents in Marrakech Fear for Safety as Abandoned House Becomes a Hub for Criminal Activity

The residents of the Al-Wihda Al-Oula neighborhood in Marrakech, particularly near the bakery "Al-Snabela," are living in a state of constant anxiety and fear due to the disturbing transformation of an abandoned house into a hotspot for vagrants and delinquents. According to information received by kech24.com, the situation has escalated after some individuals became aware of the owners' absence and their stable residence abroad. This has allowed these individuals to exploit the circumstances, turning the doorstep of the house and its surroundings into a designated area for daily gatherings.

In this designated spot, they spend hours indulging in alcohol, inhaling a substance known as "silicon," and sleeping in positions that violate public decency, thus tarnishing the aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood and shocking passersby. This troubling situation has caused genuine terror among the neighboring families, who have been enduring sleepless nights filled with continuous altercations and exchanges of vulgar language among these addicts.

Residents have found themselves with no recourse to protect their children and parents from these disgraceful displays and the offensive language that permeates the area. Their only solution has been to tightly shut their windows, which has created significant psychological pressure on families deprived of peace and tranquility in their homes. In light of these pressing concerns, affected residents are urgently calling on local and security authorities to take immediate and decisive action to alleviate this distress, urging for increased police patrols and a thorough cleansing of the area from deviant behaviors.
