Moroccan authorities confirmed this morning, October 2nd, 2025, that there were no demonstrations or violent incidents in Lqliaa, near Agadir, contradicting earlier reports and online claims. This announcement came after the reporting window for previous events closed at 9:36 AM UTC. Earlier today, reports circulated online alleging that the former general secretary of the Unified Socialist Party, Nabila Mounib, was accused by a young Moroccan of joining demonstrations to capitalize on public sentiment. The alleged interaction was described as an angry exchange followed by Mounib's departure, according to an unverified social media post. These new developments follow an earlier report indicating two fatalities in Lqliaa on October 2nd, 2025, due to security forces opening fire on crowds. However, official statements in this reporting window deny any unrest occurred in the location, suggesting a significant discrepancy in information. Moroccan rights groups had previously stated that over 1,000 detentions had occurred across the country since Saturday, October 1st, 2025, characterizing the unrest as the most significant since the Arab Spring. The previous report did not specify the exact timing of the reported fatalities within its window but confirmed the event.
