Meknes - Two men were taken to a local hospital following violent fights a few moments before Al-maghrib prayer call, in the Sidi Baba and Sidi Bouzekri neighborhoods in the city of Meknés.
The first fight erupted in the Sidi Bouzekri neighborhood, during which a person was seriously injured in the chest after his opponent stabbed him with a sword, before he was taken to the Mohammed V Hospital in Meknes.
In the Sidi Baba neighborhood, which frequently witnesses deadly fights, a man was seriously wounded in the hand after he tried to avoid a blow from a sword.
According to Meknés press, the injured, who is also receiving a medical treatment at Mohammed V hospital, may lose his hand as a result of this wound if he is not transferred to the university hospital of Fez.
These two neighborhoods are hot spots of criminality and drug cartels in Meknes. Fights take place more or less on a daily basis.
The fight reminds us of hundreds of other fights around the kingdom, particularly during Ramadan, which leads to the death of dozens of people every year.
