Morocco's King Mohammed VI has urged Moroccans to not buy sheep for the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holiday due to record inflation and climate change. A seven-year drought has caused a surge in sheep prices, making it difficult for working class families to afford them. The cancellation of Eid festivities will have a heavy impact on breeders who have invested in raising sheep. The price spikes are driven by sparse pastures and a decrease in rainfall, leading to higher costs of feed for herders and farmers. This is the first time in 29 years that Morocco has asked citizens to forgo holiday feasting.
