The rural commune of Imintlit, located in the Essaouira province, is still suffering the effects of communal management dominated by electoral calculations. On the occasion of Eid, which coincided with heavy rains, the inhabitants of the Douars Agram, Idbigouran, Taourirt, Imzilen, Ait Ouassif, Boutguida, Bouzrou, Id Hmad, Idou Slimane, Id Othman, and Timsourine found themselves isolated, and even unable to return to their villages due to a lack of maintained access. Hundreds of citizens who had come from different cities of the Kingdom for this holiday period, for the most part, had great difficulty accessing their Douars and family homes.

For others who had planned to celebrate their weddings just after Eid, they were forced to use archaic means of transport to ensure the supply and movement of their guests. An unsustainable situation marked by a political crisis that accentuates tension within the communal council. The citizens thus decided to make their voices heard on 29 October 2012 in front of the commune headquarters and to chant slogans against depravity and the squandering of public funds.

The protesters denounced the dramatic situation of their Douars, which lack drinking water in summer and are cut off from the rest of the world in winter.
