Mini versions of Ramadan favorites, from pizza to pastilla, are becoming a growing trend in Morocco, bringing variety and visual appeal to the iftar table. Beyond aesthetics, they offer a practical solution to food waste.
As the summer season approaches and tourist numbers rise in Bouznika, the city is grappling with a severe environmental crisis caused by the accumulation of waste and the suspension of cleaning services pending approval of a new contract. Human rights advocates argue that this situation reflects a lack of coordination and delays in implementing necessary measures, which have seriously affected the quality of life and the health of both residents and visitors.
The controversy surrounding the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development's authorization to import more than two million tons of waste from European countries has reached the Moroccan parliament. This incident echoes the events of 2016, when the government was forced to halt waste imports following a similar decision.
