Residents of Taza’s Al-Mostaqbal neighborhood have issued an appeal to local authorities and the Taza Municipal Council, citing ongoing hardship caused by the lack of public lighting and the proliferation of stray dogs. They warn that the situation is directly undermining residents’ sense of safety and security.
According to consistent testimonies from local residents, the neighborhood plunges into near-total darkness at night, hampering movement and heightening fears—particularly in alleys and secondary streets. Those affected say the danger is even greater in the early morning hours, when worshippers head out for dawn prayers and are forced to move in darkness while encountering packs of dogs that tend to be more aggressive at that time.
Local activists on social media report that the issue is not new, but rather a recurring problem persisting for years with the same intensity. They note that several neighborhoods in Upper Taza face similar conditions, raising questions about intervention planning and the pace of responses to repeated complaints.
Observers of local affairs consider the absence of public lighting, combined with the spread of stray dogs, to be an alarming situation that infringes upon the most basic rights of residents—foremost among them the right to safety and security. They argue that the continued state of affairs turns nighttime movement into a risk, whether for religious observance or essential daily needs.
Amid repeated appeals without tangible intervention, residents question the reasons behind the delay in addressing this issue and the role of the competent authorities in ensuring safe living conditions in residential areas. They stress that their demands fall within basic rights, notably adequate public lighting and a humane, organized approach to managing stray dogs.
Residents of Al-Mostaqbal neighborhood hope these appeals will lead to practical measures in the near future to prevent further deterioration, emphasizing that waiting for accidents or tragedies is not a solution, and that preventive action remains the most effective way to ensure public safety.
