Border crossing reopens for 49 Moroccans
Despite the border closure between Morocco and Algeria, exceptional coordination operations took place that resulted in the return of 49 Moroccans from Algeria to their homeland via the "Zouj Bghal" crossing, following intervention by both Moroccan and Algerian authorities. Algeria handed over the group, which includes men, women, and minors who had entered Algeria irregularly under difficult conditions that necessitated intervention. This marks the second operation within August, as 10 previous Moroccans were repatriated from Algeria, bringing the total number of returnees through the border crossing during the month to 59 individuals. The situation remains tense, with many Moroccans still in difficult circumstances inside Algeria, along with cases of arrests and missing persons. The Moroccan Association for Assistance to Migrants confirmed that many Moroccan cases remain unresolved, with families requesting information or pursuing repatriation procedures. There are also cases in other countries, such as Libya. These operations highlight the ongoing humanitarian challenges resulting from the suspended border relations between Morocco and Algeria, and underscore the need to address the situations of irregular migrants, prisoners, and missing persons.
