Moroccan truck drivers are reporting difficulties obtaining adequate European insurance coverage while navigating the “Rosso” route between Mauritania and Senegal. This new route has become necessary due to ongoing conflict in Mali, a previously common transit country. The drivers are facing challenges as European insurance companies are not keeping pace with the changing needs of transport along this alternative path. According to Charqi El Hashemi, Secretary-General of the General Union of International and National Transport Professionals, the situation impacts commercial flow across the region. The lack of proper insurance poses a significant risk for drivers and complicates trade. This issue highlights a gap in support for transport workers adapting to new routes amidst regional instability. Further details on the impact on commercial movement are expected.
