Many communities in Morocco are living under the weight of land laws that have made the lives of thousands of citizens difficult and unstable.
These laws date back to the colonial era, turning citizens into “colonizers” who must be expelled from their lands under the pretext that they belonged to privileged Moroccans from the colonial era.
Despite the existence of a mafia that brutally exploited these lands, this is not a justification for turning Moroccans into criminals for being on lands that they have actual proof of ownership signed by all state institutions as a custom that has lasted for years, one of the affected people told Fes News.
Suddenly, the Ministry of Interior decided to protect these lands and consider all current residents, without exception, to be in an illegal situation.
In an exclusive statement to Fes News, a senior official stressed that the current law is not a justification for turning citizens into criminals, noting that many Moroccans live on these lands based on documents recognized by state institutions.
The official added that there is an urgent need to revisit these laws and modernize them in line with the current reality to guarantee the rights of citizens, protect them from arbitrariness and discrimination, and fight rentier laws.
The official added that addressing this crisis requires the urgent intervention of the Ministry of Interior to find practical solutions that end the suffering of the population and preserve their rights. He also stressed the importance of reviewing the laws of ancestral lands to ensure justice, preserve the rights of citizens, and prevent the illegal exploitation of these lands by the mafia.
This crisis points to the urgent need to modernize and develop legislation related to ancestral lands to ensure sustainable development and improve the lives of citizens across Morocco.
The source added that efforts between government agencies and civil society must be concerted to ensure a decent life and a better future for the citizens affected by these laws.
