King Mohammed VI of Morocco has called on citizens to avoid buying sheep for slaughter during the upcoming Eid al-Adha in light of significant livestock shortages and soaring prices, which have been exacerbated by drought and inflation. The king emphasized the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the population, particularly those with lower incomes, who would face hardships affording sheep during this religious celebration. The soaring prices are a cause for concern, as many families already struggle with the financial burden of this annually significant holiday.
Our commitment to enabling you to fulfil this religious rite under the best conditions is accompanied by the duty to consider the climatic and economic challenges facing our country, which have led to a significant decline in livestock numbers.
Performing (the sacrifice) in these difficult circumstances will cause real harm to large segments of our people, especially those with limited income.
