On Tuesday, a man in his forties set himself on fire in public street in Tangier, sustaining severe burns that required his immediate transfer to the intensive care unit at Mohammed V Regional Hospital. According to initial reports, the man attempted suicide shortly after receiving an official notice ordering him to vacate a commercial property where he ran a business selling pharmaceuticals. The decision reportedly triggered a psychological breakdown. Media sources indicate that the man had recently been facing financial hardship, compounded by disputes with former business partners. This deteriorating situation is believed to have contributed to his mental distress. Witnesses say he doused himself in a flammable liquid and set himself alight in full view of bystanders, with the incident filmed and shared on social media. Several citizens managed to intervene and extinguish the flames. Meanwhile, the judicial police in Beni Makada, under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office, have opened an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
