The Ministry of the Interior has decided to relieve Mouad Jamai, the Wali of the Fès-Meknès region, of his duties for taking part in the ritual slaughter during Eid al-Adha, reliable sources told Yabiladi.
This move comes after King Mohammed VI urged Moroccans to refrain from performing the Eid sacrifice this year, due to the climatic and economic challenges that have severely reduced livestock numbers.
Abdelghani Sabbar, the governor of Meknès, has been appointed to manage the region’s affairs until a new Wali is named.
It’s worth noting that King Mohammed VI had appointed Jamai as Wali of the Fès-Meknès region and governor of the Fès prefecture on October 18, 2024. Prior to this, Jamai served as Wali of the Oriental region and governor of the Oujda-Angad prefecture from June 25, 2017.
The Ministry of the Interior has also decided to relieve Farid Chourak, Wali (Governor) of the Marrakech-Safi region, of his duties after he appeared in a video slaughtering a sheep for Eid al-Adha, claiming he was doing so on behalf of the region's residents.
Rachid Benchikhi, the governor of Al Haouz province, has been appointed acting Wali of the region until a new appointment is made.
Farid Chourak was appointed Wali of the Marrakech-Safi region in October 2023. Prior to that, in 2017, he was named governor of the Al Hoceima province.
