Concerns Over Increased Crime in Ben Qashali
The residents of the Ben Qashali neighborhood in the Gueliz district of Marrakech are increasingly alarmed by the significant rise in crime rates and illicit activities in various hotspots within their community. The area surrounding the Zitoun neighborhood, as well as regions near the railway, have become notorious for being particularly difficult to access and monitor, especially during sensitive times. Numerous residents have taken to social media platforms to express their frustration over the current state of affairs, urgently calling for immediate action to enhance security presence in these locations.
The locals attribute this troubling phenomenon to the insufficient security patrols in the area, coupled with the absence of social and developmental programs aimed at unemployed youth. This lack of support leaves many young individuals vulnerable to engaging in criminal activities or trafficking various types of drugs. Those affected have issued a direct appeal to the Security Chief of Marrakech, Mohamed Emchichou, urging him to intensify security operations and eliminate the hotspots that have become a threat to the safety of residents. The community insists on the need for proactive and decisive measures to restore peace in the neighborhood and curb the proliferation of deviant behaviors that have become a daily concern for the local population.
