“Around 1.6 million Moroccans are living in poverty, while three Moroccan billionaires’ wealth is estimated at $4.5 billion,” the NGO says, condemning disparities in Morocco. Rabat – The Moroccan arm of the international NGO Oxfam has written a new report to warn of inequality in Morocco. Oxfam asked the government and institutions to adopt concrete and ambitious measures to fight inequalities and poverty. The Hirak movement was followed by several other protests, including protests to condemn lack of drinking water in the south of the country. Morocco also experienced a set of protests in 2018 and 2019, particularly the protests of contractual teachers and doctors.
