Official: 40,000 blocked at Sebta with 11 deaths
The Moroccan Ministry of Interior conducted a thorough analysis of the recent events at the crossing points of Ceuta and Melilla, confirming that these incidents resulted from the interference of human smuggling mafias and large-scale digital misinformation campaigns. The statement clarified that false information was spread through digital platforms to create the illusion that migrants could easily reach Europe without legal obstacles, especially after misleading interpretations of Spanish judicial decisions that restrict immediate deportation. These campaigns led approximately 40,000 people to attempt crossing into Ceuta and 1,135 into Melilla, with some cases of accidental deaths and drownings due to surging into shallow waters and unsafe routes. The crossings were intentionally used as opportunities to withdraw from the risky attempts because of the dangers involved. Authorities assured that they have regained control of the situation and have opened the door for voluntary return, while the Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched investigations to hold those involved accountable. Morocco continues to uphold its commitment to protecting its borders and coordinating efforts to combat irregular migration.
