Rabat – During King’s Mohammed VI inauguration of a training center in the educational and social trades in Rabat, dozens of citizens residing in “Douar El Garâa” in Yaâcoub El Mansour neighborhood raised protest slogans, calling on the king to hold corrupt officials accountable.
On Wednesday, the protesters chanted slogans decrying authorities’ attempts to deport them from their shantytown to an area outside of Rabat, and demanded housing in their neighborhood.
They also called on the king to hold accountable the officials who are, according to the protesters, involved in two stagnant housing projects.
When King Mohammed VI performed his customary handshakes with the population, a little girl handed him a letter describing the protesters’ issues and demands , which was signed on behalf of the area’s people.
Several Facebook pages specify that the housing demonstrations are not related to the ongoing boycott, but rather focus on the people’s right to appropriate housing.
