Is Morocco’s drought changing Eid traditions?

Africa Daily

About this episode

As Morocco faces one of its worst droughts in decades, soaring meat prices and dwindling livestock have made Eid al-Adha sacrifices difficult.

In response King Mohammed VI has urged Moroccans to forgo the tradition, echoing a similar appeal by his father in 1966.

Could changing weather patterns reshape how Eid is observed? BBC Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja spoke to Moroccan journalist Basma El Atti to explore how Moroccans are adapting and what this means for the future of Eid traditions.
