Concerns Over Drug Trafficking in Marrakech's Local Communities
In recent times, several neighborhoods in the Bab Marrakech area, particularly zones 11, 20, 39, 15, and 16, have witnessed a noticeable increase in drug trafficking and the sale of psychoactive substances, sparking growing alarm among the local population. Many residents have reported suspicious activities throughout different times of the day, especially late at night, which they suspect are linked to drug sales. There are also claims regarding the distribution of other substances, including Sillycone and hallucinogenic pills, all occurring in the absence of any police patrols in the area.
Local sources have highlighted that the persistence of these conditions has led to widespread panic and disorder, marked by late-night gatherings, noise, and altercations that disturb the peace of residents, particularly families and children. The community is urging for an enhanced security presence and the organization of intensive field campaigns aimed at curbing various forms of crime and the illegal drug trade.
Residents are hopeful that security forces will actively respond to these complaints by increasing patrols and conducting necessary investigations to ensure the safety of citizens and restore tranquility in the Bab Marrakech neighborhoods. They emphasize the need to respect the presumption of innocence, ensuring that no allegations are treated as facts without thorough verification by the appropriate authorities.
