Morocco Reveals Ceuta and Melilla Figures
The Moroccan Ministry of Interior confirmed that the recent events at the border crossings of Ceuta and Melilla were not spontaneous. Instead, they were exploited through multiple factors such as the spread of misleading information via digital platforms, misinterpretation of laws, and activity by human trafficking networks that convinced migrants they could easily reach Europe without legal repercussions. The ministry announced that approximately 40,000 people attempted to cross into Ceuta illegally, while around 1,135 others attempted to cross into Melilla, and all those who reached Melilla were returned. It clarified that some Spanish judicial decisions that minimize the immediate return process have been misinterpreted, which led some migrants to undertake dangerous sea attempts resulting in one death, and unfortunately, there were 10 recorded drownings. The ministry pointed out that investigations have primarily focused on determining responsibilities and emphasizing the need for international cooperation on irregular migration, while Morocco continues to implement measures to protect its borders and the safety of individuals.
