Morocco Closes Livestock Markets Ahead of Eid al-Adha
Moroccan authorities have reportedly launched a nationwide campaign to close down livestock markets, preventing the sale of sacrificial animals ahead of Eid al-Adha. The move follows a decision by King Mohammed VI to cancel the traditional animal sacrifice this year due to the country's ongoing drought and economic challenges, which have led to a sharp drop in livestock numbers. According to news reports, the new directive was sent to governors and local officials across the country, urging them to enforce the ban. Authorities have concentrated the efforts in the closure of all public and seasonal livestock markets, which usually see increased activity in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Read also: Media reports have indicated that authorities across Morocco have implemented sweeping restrictions ahead of Eid. Several provinces have reportedly ordered the shutdown of all weekly sheep markets, banning gatherings related to the sale or slaughter of sacrificial animals, temporarily closing municipal slaughterhouses, and even extending the ban to the sale of animal slaughter tools in some areas. As Moroccans adjust to the absence of Eid Al Adha spirit this year, some are set to face serious economic hardship including seasonal workers, street vendors and small-scale traders who rely on this period for a significant portion of their income. King Mohammed VI had urged Moroccans earlier this year to refrain from performing the traditional animal sacrifice to alleviate the financial burden on families struggling with meat prices and to preserve the country's dwindling livestock. To uphold the religious significance of the occasion, Mohammed VI announced that he would perform the Eid sacrifice on behalf of all Moroccans. Many Moroccans have applauded this symbolic gesture, saying it echoes the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who is reported to have sacrificed two rams: one for himself and his household, and another on behalf of those among his followers who were unable to offer a sacrifice.
