The province of Sefrou has recently witnessed a notable increase in the smuggling of goods and merchandise, with local markets becoming flooded with smuggled products without oversight, raising growing concerns among residents and legitimate traders. The spread of these goods is noticeably increasing in the absence of effective control by the concerned services, particularly customs.
This phenomenon poses a significant challenge to local authorities, contributing to the exacerbation of economic and commercial chaos in the province. Many local sources indicate that these goods include food items, clothing, and electronic devices coming from illegal sources, negatively impacting the local economy and harming the interests of traders who operate according to the law.
The absence of intervention by customs and other concerned services raises questions about the seriousness of measures taken to curb this phenomenon. The situation requires swift and firm interventions by authorities to activate control over border crossings and markets, and ensure the protection of the local economy from the negative effects of smuggling.
