A severe and unprecedented crisis has emerged regarding the capacity and management of burial grounds in various districts under the municipal council of Fes. Disturbing data and field observations indicate alarming disparities in the treatment of deceased individuals, with certain equipped spaces being designated for specific groups, while the environmental and organizational conditions of cemeteries allocated for the general populace deteriorate significantly.
Detailed reports reveal that the Wislan Cemetery has reached its maximum capacity, leaving only narrow spaces overwhelmed by waste and garbage. Meanwhile, cemeteries in the Zouagha area face major organizational and environmental challenges that negatively impact the dignity of the deceased and the conditions under which families receive their loved ones during funeral and burial ceremonies.
The cemetery in the Saïs district is grappling with complex legal and real estate issues, as the land currently designated for burials is privately owned and not classified as public property belonging to the municipality. This situation necessitates exceptional interventions and intensive communications from local authority officials to manage the remaining spaces and find temporary solutions for the burial of newly deceased individuals.
Widespread dissatisfaction has arisen within the local community due to observed discriminatory classifications within these funeral facilities. Special, equipped, and fenced spaces are being provided for those described as influential, while ordinary citizens face the harsh realities of burial under difficult conditions that lack even the most basic standards of human dignity. This situation calls for immediate intervention from regulatory authorities and elected councils to restructure this essential human service.
