Moroccan border tightened before Saturday crossings
Moroccan authorities have strengthened their security measures at the border with Ceuta, extending barbed wire along the entire crossing point and its surroundings, reaching into the sea. The aim is to prevent an illegal mass crossing planned for Saturday, based on anonymous calls circulated via social media. These measures come amid heightened security alerts and thorough searches following repeated attempts by large groups of migrants to cross. Moroccan authorities estimate that around 40,000 people have crossed, while Spanish figures suggest the number exceeds 70,000. This follows an illegal crossing wave between July and August, during which tens of thousands attempted to cross, resulting in fatalities. Rabat is working to prevent immigration issues from being exploited and to ensure the safety of all participants, as security forces continue to monitor the situation and take necessary measures.
