Residents of Douar Yaghlan, التابعة لجماعة Bouchfaa within the Oued Amlil district (Taza Province), say they are living in a state of near-total isolation due to the deterioration of basic infrastructure—most notably the rural road and telecommunications network—prompting them to appeal to the relevant authorities for urgent intervention.
A Rough Road for Years
According to local accounts, the douar has suffered for more than four years from an unpaved road stretching approximately six kilometers. The problem is compounded by the road’s passage through a rugged mountainous area (a steep pass), making daily travel hazardous, especially during rainy periods.
Direct Impact on Schooling and Daily Life
This situation affects multiple aspects of everyday life. School transport serving more than 30 students faces serious difficulties accessing the douar, local residents report, threatening pupils’ safety and the continuity of their education. Residents also struggle to access transport services, often forcing them to walk long distances to meet basic needs.
Loss of Connectivity Deepens Isolation
Local testimonies indicate that hardship has worsened with a complete outage of mobile and internet networks for nearly a month. One resident said the situation has “intensified the feeling of isolation,” pointing to the difficulty of communicating in emergency situations, particularly medical ones, in the absence of any effective means of contact.
Calls for Intervention and Territorial Equity
Residents express frustration over what they describe as repeated, unanswered requests, noting that the douar has not benefited from sufficient field visits to assess the scale of constraints. They are calling for the rehabilitation of the road and the connection of the douar to a stable communications network, to ensure safety, dignity, and basic living conditions.
Local Reactions on Social Media
In a related development, social media users shared divergent views on the situation. Some argued that prolonged silence contributed to the persistence of the problem, while others questioned the role of elected councils in addressing residents’ needs—within a broader public debate on rural development and the use of local resources.
The newspaper notes that these reactions reflect citizens’ opinions and does not adopt them nor assert their accuracy.
