Ashura night celebrations in Salé, particularly in the Sidi Moussa district, turned chaotic on Saturday as clashes broke out between youths and security forces. Groups of teenagers ignited fires and used fireworks and gas canisters, causing dangerous explosions that prompted authorities to intervene.
Security forces faced direct stone-throwing attacks from hooded minors and chased them through alleyways in an effort to restore order. Videos of the incidents circulated widely on social media, sparking public outrage and calls for firm action to end such disturbances.
Similar scenes were reported in other cities, where gas canisters were exploded, causing widespread fear among residents. Civil society groups and citizens condemned the escalation of Ashura rituals into hazardous acts, urging authorities and families to address this recurring threat to public safety.
