فاس نيوز ميديا جريدة الكترونية جهوية تعنى بشؤون و أخبار جهة فاس مكناس – متجددة على مدار الساعة
Fes News conducted a field coverage in Sefrou, where local testimonies shed light on a stalled developmental reality, raising increasing concerns about the absence of productive projects that could drive the local economy.
Rachid Al-Qaddah, a journalist and native of the city, expressed in an interview that Sefrou suffers from noticeable economic stagnation due to the lack of major factories and projects capable of absorbing unemployed youth. He emphasized that a large segment of university graduates find themselves without career prospects, as there are no real alternatives in sight.
On the tourism front, Al-Qaddah pointed out that Sefrou boasts significant natural attractions, including the city waterfall, Akay River, and the Bridge Gardens. However, these sites remain underdeveloped due to weak tourism infrastructure and insufficient investment in this sector.
He also discussed the fragile healthcare situation, mentioning the absence of a regional hospital and cancer treatment center, as well as the lack of a student dormitory that could provide students with suitable conditions to pursue their education.
In his evaluation of the performance of elected bodies, Al-Qaddah called for a real and effective assessment of local councils and institutions, urging the chambers of commerce and traditional industry to actively contribute to the economic dynamism by organizing exhibitions and initiatives that promote local activities.
He further argued that Sefrou should be among the cities benefiting from the national momentum tied to the preparations for the 2030 World Cup, calling for better investment in sports infrastructure and adequate funding to improve it. He made a direct appeal to the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the Minister Delegate for the Budget.
In closing, Al-Qaddah delivered a brief but poignant message: “Sefrou is a city that resembles an elderly woman neglected by her children, but she is still waiting for someone to guide her towards hope.”
