On the morning of February 18, 2025, Fez News covered a protest organized by the residents of Cooperative Al-Nasr, located in the Ain Chekef commune, Moulay Yacoub province, in front of the LafargeHolcim company. The demonstrators voiced their concerns over increasing environmental pollution, which they claim is negatively affecting their daily lives and health. Protesters raised banners and chanted slogans demanding urgent intervention from authorities to address what they describe as a threat to their environment and livelihoods.
During the protest, several residents expressed their ongoing struggles, stating that the air is now heavily polluted with smoke and dust, allegedly causing a rise in respiratory diseases, particularly among children and the elderly. They also voiced concerns about the negative impact on agricultural land and groundwater, which serve as a primary source of income for many families in the area.
Some demonstrators highlighted the difficult choices they now face, as they endure worsening environmental and health conditions without any compensation programs or developmental initiatives to help them adapt. They also expressed frustration over what they perceive as a lack of effective measures to mitigate the environmental damage that threatens the future of the region and its inhabitants.
The protesters urged relevant authorities to take swift action, either by enforcing stricter environmental regulations or by providing sustainable alternatives to improve the quality of life in the area. The residents of Cooperative Al-Nasr emphasized that their movement is part of their right to demand a clean and healthy environment.
It is important to note that these claims are based on residents’ allegations. Fez News has not been able to obtain any official response from LafargeHolcim regarding these accusations, leaving the situation incomplete until further information is available from all concerned parties.
