Morocco wants to put an end to clandestine transport in the countryside

No more clandestine journeys? In Morocco, the government is considering legalizing informal transport in rural areas, known as “khattafa”. These transporters, who travel along difficult-to-access roads to connect isolated villages, play a vital role for local populations.

MP Mohamed Mohadab (PAM) questioned the Minister of Transport, Abdessamad Kayouh, on this issue, regretting the lack of legal alternatives for residents of remote areas. “There is no other choice for citizens than to resort to clandestine transport to meet their daily needs,” he declared, questioning the means to legalize and secure this sector.
